MITMAN Curator, Divisions of Mineral and Mechanical Technology ;?rtyNc:*? tR^;# WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1923 ADVERTISEMENT. The .scientific publications of the United States National Museum consist of two series, the Proceedings and the Bulletins. The Proceedings^ the first volume of which was issued in 1878, are intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original and usually brief, papers based on the collections of the National Museum, presenting newly acquired facts in zoology, geology, and anthropology, including descriptions of new forms of animals and revisions of limited groups. One or two volumes are issued annu- ally and distributed to libraries and scientific organizations. A limited number of copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, is dis- tributed to specialists and others interested in the different subjects as soon as printed. The date of publication is recorded in the table of contents of the volume. The Bulletins^ the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising chiefly monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occa- sionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, and catalogues of type-specimens, special collections, etc. The majority of the volumes are octavos, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. Since 1902 a series of octavo volumes containing papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum, and known as the Con- trihutions from the National Herharium.^ has been published as bulletins.

  • Workboat Yachts: Commercial Boats Appropriated for Pleasure Cruising by Pete Lesher, Chief Curator, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, St
    Workboat yachts: Commercial Boats Appropriated for Pleasure Cruising by Pete Lesher, Chief Curator, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, St. Michaels, Maryland In the fall of 1945, as Talbot and Jessica Hamlin cruised south down the Inland Waterway, the Chesapeake Bay impressed them in a number of ways. They particularly noted the distinctive watercraft of the region, a “gleaming white bugeye” in one case, “oyster boats and fishermen and a real Chesapeake dugout around the corner” in another. Later they observed a village “with its hill of oyster shells and the Chesapeake Bay oyster bugeyes at the pier, each with gaily carved and painted trail boards at the bow.”1 By the time the Hamlins were passing through, commercial sail was quickly disappearing from the Chesapeake, and travelers through the region took special notice of the remaining old vessels. Other yachtsmen were so impressed with the sailing qualities or roominess of traditional Chesapeake working craft that they acquired them. Characteristics like shoal draft with centerboards or sailing rigs that required minimal handling could serve the yachtsman just as well as the waterman. Several working boats were converted to yachts, with the idea that if these vessels were well adapted to working on the Chesapeake, they might be good for cruising the bay as well. The graceful lines of the bay’s bugeyes and other indigenous watercraft were likewise appealing to the yachtsman. The adaptation of commercial vessels to recreational use serves as an example of the transformation of the Chesapeake Bay from a place of work to a place for play. Among the earliest to make such a conversion was the Oriole Yacht Club of Baltimore, which appropriated a nearly-new schooner for a cruise.
