6 History Corner.... The Matthew Fontaine Maury Bowl Jere Dennison

This time each year during its annual meeting, FBYC awards its perpetual trophies to members that have excelled throughout the year in various aspects sailing, primarily racing. However, one trophy, first awarded by the Cruising Class in 1972 through the special generosity of Reid Dunn and Ray Toms, is not limited solely to members, but can be awarded to any individual or individuals for an ‘outstanding contribution to sailing.’ This trophy is indeed presented for highest achievement and does not require that there be a recipient in any year the Board lacks a suitable candidate. Understandably, there may be those among us who do not know the relevance of the man for whom this trophy is named. Sure, there is a bronze statue on Monument Avenue−a big globe with Maury seated on a pedestal in front with an engraving below that reads ‘Pathfinder of the Seas.’ But why is he so esteemed as to deserve a perpetual trophy presented in his name? Many have for- gotten his significance in maritime history or may not be at all fa- miliar with his legend. Curiously when rummaging through some family papers recently, I discovered that my maternal grandfather also was attracted to the writing and study of history. On January 20, 1924, he and two other Richmonders addressed the United Daughters of the Confed- eracy at the Second Presbyterian Church in a service to honor three great Virginians born during the month of January. This trilogy covered the lives of Matthew Fontaine Maury, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. Maury’s memorial was delivered by my grandfather, an abbreviated version of which is reprinted below: Matthew Fontaine Maury by John Archer Coke Matthew Fontaine Maury was born on January 14th, 1806. It was in Spottsylvania County, Virginia that he first saw the light of day−that county in which Stonewall Jackson, another great Virginian, to be spoken of here tonight, received his mortal wound. Maury was the descendant of a Huguenot family, on his father’s side. As his name would indicate, he was descended from the Fontaines and the Maurys, good old Huguenot stock. Matthew was the fourth son, one of nine children. His father was a planter, and when Matthew was about five years old, the family moved to Tennessee, not far from Nashville. Maury’s years of childhood were years of hardship, living the simple, but rude, life of the early settlers. At a very early age, he began to show a strong inclination towards the acquisition of knowledge. Maury, having been rendered unfit for the hard farm life of those early days by a seri- ous injury resulting from a fall, his father determined to indulge his great longing for an education. Maury says of himself, “My first ambition to become a mathematician was excited by an old cobbler, Neal by name, who lived not far from my father’s house, and who used to send the shoes home to his customers all scratched with little x’s and y’s.” Paper being scarce in those days, the cobbler worked his mathematical problems out on the leather which he half-soled the shoes. After obtaining the very meager education afforded by the elementary schools of that rough country, he was sent to Harpeth Academy. His quick and studious mind and his sterling character soon won for him the respect and admiration of his instructors. It is said that Maury’s inclination towards the sea was first aroused and then stimulated by the career of his eldest brother, John Minor Maury, who became one of the most brilliant of the younger officers of the navy, and whose career was so full of adventure and romance as to greatly excite the interest and admiration of young Matthew.
