68888.0016.0000.00documentsAlbert E. Brown and Bro Papers<CR><CR>The collection iBrown, Albert __CreatorExact 02/01/1988 -Albert E. Brown and Bro Papers<CR><CR>The collection is comprised of some of the correspondence and business papers concerning the Brown's Sail Loft in Winona, Maryland. Included are many sail plans for work and recreational boats. These papers were retrieved by museum staff from the derelict sail loft with the permission of the owner. Many are damaged or, deteriorated.Biographical BackgroundAlbert E. Brown and Bro/ sail.1oft~:~was located at Wenona, on the southern tip of the island. The Loft was founded in 1870 by Capt. John Stubbs. In 1890 he was bought out by Henry Brown, born in England, and who served as a seaman in the Royal Navy. He learned the art of sailmaking when he came to the United States during the Civil War and joined the United States Navy.Henry constructed the present building. When he retired in 1919 his son Albert took over the sail loft. Albert's son Henry, in turn, started at the loft when he was 12 years old and took over the business in 1956. Henry G. Brown retired about 1980 and the building has stood empty ever since. In 1986 the old sail loft changed hands.In its heyday, the business was one-of the region's leading sailmakers and had a reputation for old-fashioned, quality workmanship. Orders for sails came from all across the country and from overseas.Scope and ContentThis material represents those papers that were salvagable and that remained in the sail loft after the business had closed. They give considerable insight into the operation of one of the country's most well-known sailmakers.The majority of the papers are correspondence written to the sail loft concerning orders for sails, frequently accompanied by a sail plan and an estimate. Of value are a number of sail plans for the oyster dredging fleet, that the loft kept on file for repeat orders, and letters concerning well-known Bay yachts. Many of these boats have long since disappeared. Sail Loft Amps (1923 - 1974)Brown Papers, p 2An index of boats is available.Correspondence was filed under boat name where it was known, and by correspondent's last name if-no specific boat was mentioned (except for one" design boats which are filed under class name).Other papers include"account books and miscellaneous business papers which provide an overview of 1"the finances of a traditional sailmaking business.Sub'ectsSailmaking Subject: Albert E.

78888.0088.0000.00documentsWillard Thomas Collection:BackgroundWillardRange, Cir 01/01/1904 - 12/31/1950Willard Thomas Collection:BackgroundWillard Thomas is a great-nephew of John W. Jones (1868-1933) of Queen Anne's County. Jones's son, Herbert Pinckey Jones married Mr. Thomas's aunt, Evelyn Thomas.John Jones was a Deputy Commander of the Maryland State Fishery Force, once known as the Oyster Navy. The Fishery Force was charged with enforcing Maryland laws and regulations dealing with harvesting oysters in Maryland's part of the Chesapeake Bay. The Force consisted of a number of schooners, each of which, captained by a deputy commander, was assigned to patrol a specific area of the bay. Jones was the captain of the Fishery Force schooner Frolic [see Photo File 637.003 (1909)] from 1904 to 1908, and from 1920 to 1929 he commanded the Force's powerboat Talbot [see Photo Files 372.008 & 372.009 (no date)]. Frolic, a 62 foot schooner built by Brusstar & Co., of Baltimore in 1884, was assigned to patrol the Second District which included Eastern Bay, and the Miles and Wye Rivers.The principal item in the collection is a logbook kept by Captain Jones while he commanded Frolic between September 1904 and September 1908. This logbook is significant because it is possibly the only one to have survived from the period that the schooners were active in patrolling the bay.Scope and ContentIn addition to the logbook, the collection includes various documents related to Frolic's patrol such as communications from the Fishery Force commander, Thomas C. B. Howard, receipts for fines collected for violations of the oyster laws, and receipts for taxes paid to the Fishery Force for oysters taken out of state. Other items in the collection, related to the Fishery Force, is a photo of a yacht, account book kept by waterman Harry Booker (1897-1977), and invoices for purchases for the schooner Lanclott.No image URL.View
