Congdon (1929-2012) lived in the Pasadena area of southern California with his wife Eleanor, where he worked as an accountant. He grew up in New England, one of five sons of the socially prominent Congdon family that founded Congdon & Carpenter Co. in 1790. The firm dealt in iron, steel, hardware, carriage and saddlery goods, and paints and oils, and was one of the oldest family-owned and operated businesses in the United States until it was sold in 1977. Ted Congdon's deep interest in maritime history led him to amass a variety of prints, documents, periodicals, and artifacts related to whaling, yachting, and naval history, the bulk of which forms the Theodore G. and Eleanor S. Congdon Maritime Collection. Scope and Content The Theodore G. and Eleanor S. Congdon Maritime Collection contains 190 items that pertain to commercial, naval, and recreational maritime-related activities primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom.
