Wheelwright: Andrew Cunningham Wheelwright (1827-1908) "Hesper was a Boston pilot schooner, designed for speed in order to be the first to reach offshore merchant vessels and escort them through the treacherous harbor islands into the port. The fastest boat got to the client first, and Hesper had the reputation of being the fastest of the fast throughout her working career.": “Half Model of the Pilot Schooner Hesper,” Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Kenneth E. Behring Center, Accessed online 10/12/14; http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_892421 ""Hesper" and the Boston Scene - In the mid 1880s… Dennison Lawlor designed a number of successful pilot schooners with increasingly modern shapes, but his trial was the "Hesper" of 1884.

    JAMES DODDS JAMES DODDS 2018 www.messums.com 28 Cork Street, London W1S 3NG Telephone: +44 (0)20 7437 5545 1. Priscilla 3 3 oil on linen 100 x 100 cms 39 ⁄8 x 39 ⁄8 ins Foreword I became intrigued by James Dodds some years ago when I first read ‘Tide Lines’, the book about his life and work by fellow east coast citizen, Ian Collins, the two of them born ‘in an elemental region that has far more sky and water than earth.’ I was a judge of the New Angles prize, in the middle of writing my own Suffolk novel, immersed in the poems, stories, and images of East Anglia, but this was the book that touched me most. The quiet drama of Dodds’ life, the romance of it, the search for a story that he needed to tell, the satisfying culmination of finding it. In the years since, I have often leafed through its pages, admiring the detail of the lino prints, the beauty of the Essex landscapes, and above all, the paintings of the boats. The boats are Dodds’ masterpieces – his models – each one as different as a human sitter. Glossy, dilapidated, sturdy, elegant, we see them whole, aged, clothed, in disarray, stripped to their skeletal construction. He shows us the insides of them, the colours, chosen, and those that have evolved. He shows us what he sees, and makes it possible for us to see it. Now I find myself standing in his Wivenhoe studio. It is minutes from the house he shares with his wife Catherine and their two grown children, on the site of an abandoned ship yard.

    CL v'^ ^K\^ XxxV ^ U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 127 PL. I SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 127 CATALOGUE OF THE WATERCRAFT COLLECTION IN THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM COMPILED AND EDITED BY CARL W. 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.
