United States; Passenger ships–Designs and plans.; Ocean–Maps.; Hydrological surveys.; Pilot guides.; Merchant ships–Designs and plans.; Passenger ships–Design and construction. | The collection consists entirely of plans and drawings, specifications and sea charts. The chief interest of the collection lies in the ships plans. The presence of plans and drawings here is indicative of Douty's interest in ship construction, both professionally as a naval architect and as a maritime curator. The preponderance of the plans come from yards owned by Bethlehem Steel during his time of employment there. The plans from other places, such as Newport News Shipbuilding and New York Shipbuilding, may have been collected when the Bethlehem yards repaired ships built in those other yards. --Among the coast surveys and ocean charts, of interest is an Atlantic Ocean pilot map from 1916, parts of which were based on Lieut. Matthew Maury's original charts from the 1850s. The charts all come from either the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey or from the United States Hydrographic Office, formerly the US Navy Hydrographic Office. The latter was the publisher of British Admiralty charts of worldwide waters during the emergency period from 1938 up to 1968, some of which are also found in this collection. | MS0777 | ||||

Includes 1 plate (Arx Carolina) and 1 map (Virginiæ pars australis & Florida) not mentioned in list of prints following p. 674. Apparently based in part on Arnoldus Montanus's "De Nieuwe en onbekende weereld: ofbeschryving van American en 't zuid-land," which was granted copyright privileges in July, 1670, andpublished in Amsterdam in 1671. Sabin, who records an edition of Ogilby as bearing date of 1670,says: "This English translation is, like Dapper's 'an impudent plagiarism' from Montanus, platesincluded. In the text many changes and additions were made by Ogilby, and his maps of Maryland,Jamaica and Barbados are not found in Montanus. The general map of America in Ogilby also differsmaterially from that in the Dutch work. | LB30837 | ||||||
| 56 |  | SHORT DESCRIPTION: Trotman anchor with removable iron stock. The anchor has a set of rings attached to the shaft. These rings would be used help fish the anchor off the bottom. This form of anchor, patented in 1852 by John Trotman, features pivoting arms and flukes. The design allowed the arm and fluke not holding the ship to pivot against the stock thereby reducing the chances of fouling the anchor. There are a number of marks scattered across the entire surface of the anchor, not all of them are clear enough to determine exactly what the marks are. NOTES: Patented in 1852 by John Trotman and based on earlier and now improved designs by Hornibal, Porter and Piper. Examined by the Board of Admiralty and put through trials "in competition with all Nations" at the Royal Dockyard at Sheerness. But though it was deemed to be of superior quality, the Admiralty declined to adopt it, possibly because it was lighter in weight than the usual Admiralty pattern. It was however perfectly acceptable in the merchant marine service... including the royal yacht VICTORIA AND ALBERT. [From "The American Cyclopaedia", by George Ripley and Charles A. Dana] A novel and in many respects important improvement is that of the Porter anchor, having movable flukes or arms; this anchor, with certain valuable alterations, is represented above as the "Trotman anchor." It will be readily seen that, by the closing of the upper arm against the shank, the chances of fouling are greatly decreased, as also the danger of the ship's grounding upon her anchor in shallow water. LABEL COPY: British trotman type anchor, c. 1850 This anchor could be dismantled for storage. Gift of Benjamin Epstein DA 64 (9/1984) | CL13739 | |||||||
