For veteran log canoe builder Robert D. Lambdin of St. Michaels, the answer was clear. He carved boat W models. Lambdin died in 1938, but some of his models survive. The Museum recently acquired Lambdin’s model of the log canoe, Belle M. Crane, which he made at the age of 82. A 1932 article from the Easton Star-Democrat noted that this model was displayed at the Shannahan and Wrightson hardware store in Easton, and described it as “37 inches long, and… complete in every detail.”1 In fact, it retains not only spars and sails, but a spring board, on which the crew scrambles out to trim the boat, and an oar. The model belonged to Ruth Starr Rose, a Talbot County native and the first woman to actively campaign a log canoe in the local races. She owned the log canoe, Belle M. Crane, after which the model was made. Complete in Every Detail by Pete Lesher, Curator The log canoe itself was built not by Lambdin, but by Greenbury M. Coffin, another St. Michaels boatbuilder. Launched in 1897, it was raced with distinction by George Shockley of St. Michaels. Although its rig was cut out and the canoe motorized, in 1929 it was again reconditioned for racing by Ruth Starr Rose, and for a year or two it was the largest log canoe in the racing fleet. The owner’s brother, Richard Starr, recounted the frustrating first weekend of races on August 16 and 17, 1929: …with the boat unpainted, leaking, and only half finished we left harbor for the first race. We had a corking good breeze, and had it not been that our skipper was just a little too drunk we would have had a good start. As it was we ran afoul of a big power yacht, doing it considerable damage, but by the grace of God none to ourselves other than a man overboard and the loss of a quarter of a mile at the start. Although Ruth is a damned good sailor she thought it best to get old Captain George Shockley to sail the first race, he being a top notch sailor when sober and having sailed this boat in her pristine days of glory.2 Lambdin was critical of log canoe sailors in the late 1920s, suggesting that many of the new and reconditioned boats were over- rigged. “Our new canoe sailors, if they would blow their horn less and use more common sense in rigging their boats …they would get better sailing out of them.”3 Lambdin was born in 1849 in St. Michaels, the fourth of five sons of shipbuilder Robert Lambdin. When he quit school, he apprenticed to his father, and spent much of his career in urban shipyards, including the Washington Navy Yard. Back in St. Michaels from 1876 to 1893, he built log canoes for local watermen and residents, constructing some 68 canoes by 3 Chesapeake Bay the time he stopped in 1893. He liked to offer a complete package when building a canoe, so his contracts often specified “Complete with sales and oars and Rowlocks,” or, in one extraordinary case, “furnish two mast and sails and two pair of 8 foot oars and anchor and line.”4 Among his best-remembered log canoes were Dashaway, a successful racing canoe built in 1877 for John C. Harper of St. Michaels, and Chesapeake, which Lambdin shipped to the 1893 Chicago Columbian Fair for exhibition on the fairground’s lagoon. The last log canoe made by Lambdin is in the museum’s collection, on exhibit in our Small Boat Shed. After giving up the construction of log canoes, Lambdin returned to urban shipyards in Wilmington, Delaware, and, in 1896, to the Norfolk Navy Yard. He finally returned to St. Michaels on his retirement in 1919, as he was approaching the age of 70. His wife of 50 years, the former Sarah Elizabeth Horney, died in 1926, and two years later Lambdin moved to the Aged Men’s Home in Baltimore. Lambdin kept a few tools with him, and made small items to keep himself occupied, primarily models and small pieces of furniture. His models ranged from a 25-inch long pungy that he made for the son of St.

Executive Summary The 1960s discovery and recovery of wooden shipwreck remains from Watt’s Creek, Caroline County induced three decades of discussion, study and documentation to determine the wrecks true place within the region’s history. Early interpretations of the wreck timbers claimed the vessel was an example of a Pungy (generally accepted to have been built ca. 1840 – 1920, perhaps as early as 1820), with "…full flaring bow, long lean run, sharp floors, flush deck…and a raking stem post and stern post" (Burgess, 1975:58). However, the closer inspection described in this report found that the floors are flatter and the stem post and stern post display a much longer run (not so raking as first thought). Additional factors, such as fastener types, construction details and tool marks offer evidence for a vessel built earlier than 1820, possibly a link between the late 18th-century shipbuilding tradition and the 19th-century Pungy form.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

The Viking long boats, Polynesian canoes, and Greek vessels are probably early examples of such usage.

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.
