| 1 |  | NOTES: The LIZZIE J. COX was a frame bugeye built at John Branford at Fishing Island, Maryland, in 1905. This type of craft originated on the Chesapeake Bay sometime after the Civil War and was used in general freighting and for dredging oysters on these waters. They decreased in popularity when the shipjack was introduced near the end of the 19th century. The COX was sold to New England owners in 1937. On August 21, 1938, she foundered in Bristol Harbor, Rhode Island. Vessel dimensions: 67.6 x 18.5 x 5. The Museum commissioned the artist to painting this painting and QO 753. NOTES: See M.V. Brewington, "Chesapeake Bay Bugeyes (1941), numerous references and plans (see Index). [Excerpt from article in Daily Press] The "Lizzie J. Cox" was a frame bugeye 67.6 feet in length, built in 1905 at Fishing Island, Maryland. She had been used in the oyster trade, and in the off season freighted wheat and watermelons to the Baltimore market. After more than thirty years service on the Chesapeake she was sold and taken north. On September 21, 1938, she was caught in the path of a hurricane which swept through New England and foundered in Bristol Harbor, Rhode Island. | CL12481 | |||||||
