	1								SHORT DESCRIPTION: The token is brass and is scalloped or flower shaped. There is a patterned border inside the outside edges of the token on both the obverse and the reverse.	CL28485
	2								MODEL NOTES: Rigged and cataloged as a three-sail bateau, which is believed to be the only type-name properly used for such two-masted vessels with a hull much like that of the single-masted (two-sail) bateau or "skipjack" (see GERTRUDE WANDS, MR 203/ 1954.36.1), but a little narrower relative to length. The THELMA G. ROBERTS' hull has a round stern, rather than transom, an allowable variant of the skipjack hull that is also found in the two-sail version. The three-sail bateau rig is shared by a round-bottomed boat called a "bugeye" (see NORA E. LAWSON, MR 205/ 1954.37.1). The bugeye rig, with smaller sails, allowed smaller crews because it was easier to handle in heavy weather, but it had less power in light winds.

	3								SHORT DESCRIPTION: The bugeye "Thelma Roberts" was built at Applegarth, Maryland in 1897. Her register dimensions were 45.3 feet length, 14.0 feet beam, 2.7 feet depth in hold, and 6 register tons. She carried a crew of four. She was reputed to have been a very fast sailer and worked well. The ship was abandoned at Farm Creek, Dorchester County, Maryland in 1935. The 3/8 inch scale model was built from plans supplied by Howard I. Chapelle at the Smithsonian Institution. Materials used in its construction were loblolly pine, American holly, rock maple, ebony, basswood and English boxwood. The metal parts are brass. The lines are of cotton, French lined and cuttyhunk fishing lines. The three small kegs on the deck were made of teak which came from the original "America," acacia from Nelson's "Victory," and white oak from the "Constitution." The model is made entirely by hand. Over a period of 13 months over 1700 hours were spent building the model and the case.	CL29168

Captain Robert Leslie began the school on September 14, 1857, though the approval process began in 1850. The school was necessary because there was a lack of sailors who could manage the expanded trade to California and the Pacific. The committee received approval from the Navy to purchase the ship Ontario to be used for the purpose. The Ontario had been a sloop of war built in 1813 but had become a receiving ship before the school purchased it. Many of the companies and people represented on this flag provided funding to purchase the Ontario. From A Brief History of the Establishment of the Floating School of the City of Baltimore, published by Bull & Tuttle, 1860.

Weems Line survived individually for 88 years then merged with other lines that lasted through the 1920s. (From Calvert Marine Museum's Bugeye Times, Vol. 41, No. 4, Winter 2016-17.) Mary Washington was purchased in 1854, abandoned in 1888. (From Calvert Marine Museum's Bugeye Times, Vol. 7, No. 4, Winter 1983.) The Baltimore & Susquehanna Steam Company operated two steamers, but side-wheel steamers Mary Washington and Wenonah were connected to the line operating on different days. "They measure 200 feet in length, 28 feet beam, and 9 1/2 feet hold, with respective capacity of 700 tons." (From The Stranger in Baltimore: A New Handbook... 1866, page 153) J.W.

Steamer "Planter" was a side-wheel steamer built by the Weems' Steamboat Line in 1845 (similar narrative to the Mary Washington). George Weems' three sons captained the boats he built, Captain Theodore Weems on "Planter." "Planter" ran into Fort Carroll in the Patapsco River in 1855 and sank but was raised and used by the Government in the Civil War. She was abandoned in 1881. (From Calvert Marine Museum's Bugeye Times, Vol. 7, No. 4, Winter 1983.) Steamer "Geo. Weems" was part of the Weems' Patuxent River Line. "The side-wheel steamers 'Matilda' and 'George Weems' compose Weems' Passenger and Transportation Line, running Wednesdays and Fridays, for Fairhaven, Plum Point and the Patuxent River. They are about 200 feet long, 28 feet beam, and 9 feet hold, with an average capacity of 650 tons." (From The Stranger in Baltimore: A New Handbook... 1866, page 154). The "George Weems" was built in 1858 replaced the "Patuxent" steamer, but burned June 10, 1871 and was replaced by the "Theodore Weems" steamer in 1872.
