Message Detail:
Just goes to show you! Research, research, research. Never give up.
Truth will appear be either luck or hard work or both.
We appreciate this puzzle solver.
(Next step the original Tug Baltimore 1857. Where are her details.)
It was suspected that either Harry Skinner built the hull at Lower Skinner Yard (Ft. McHenry location) and finished the house and works at the Upper Yard, or the whole of the 1906 Tug Baltimore was completed at the Lower Yard. He obviously did business with Baltimore Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Lower Yard) before he bought them out and expanded his business and prominence. This was originally Columbian Iron Works.
Can we post the whole article to this website forum.?.
It has been my intention from the start to construct a document that follows the Shipping News provided by the SUN paper and others through the 19th century. It's concise information and somewhat dry, but concrete.
This would be particularly constructive in telling the history of the shipbuilders of that time. It was part of the starting phase for the existing chronological ships chart of the Skinner & Sons shipbuilding by myself.
