Album 2

The collection consists of one box with two albums containing 72 photoprints along with clippings and printed ephemera. All deal with various sailing craft on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. The photographs are undated or made circa 1941. The clippings and ephemera include published articles, maps, and illustrations, undated or dated 1911-1950.

The sailing craft represented include bugeyes, scow-sloops, pungies, flatties, schooners, ram schooners, skipjacks, and log-canoes. Captions for most of the vessels include a date and geographic location where the vessel was built. The craft are depicted under sail, in dry dock, and at docks. Maryland locations depicted include Baltimore's harbor, Curtis Bay, Cambridge, St. Michaels, Georgetown, Oxford, and Crisfield.

Album 1 contains chiefly photoprints with a few non-photographic items; Album 2 contains chiefly clippings and ephemera with one photograph. The span dates for the Prints and Photographs Collection refer only to the photographs.
