Associated Press Day Wire Service. For 56 Years Devoted to the Best Interests of Key West VOLUME LVI. DIVISION OF MARINE SURVEY STARTED HERE INAUGURATED FOR PURPOSE OF RECORDING DESIGNS AND HISTORIES OF OLD- TIME VESSELS No. 192. Recently inaugurated in Key West is a division of the Historic Merchant Marine Survey, a state- wide WPA. project. The project has for its pur- pose, recording of designs and his- tories of those boats which were built prier to 1900. Its scope is large enough to include every ex- isting boat of unusval construc- tion, design of history, whether the craft be a fishing smack or a three-masted schooner. H. L. Long, regional director of the survey, and Captain A, E. Ferdinandsen, supervisor of the Miami and Key West projects, ex- ined that the drawings and his- ries are forwarded to the Smith- sonian Institution for transcrip- tion on imperishable paper. They are then placed on file for future reference. The wealth of material record- ed by the project employes will be invaluable to the naval archi- tect and naval historian and just as today’s student is interested in the clipper ships of the last cen- tury, so will he pore over the de- signs of sloops, smacks, schoon- ers, barks and brigantines as re- corded in the historic marine sur- vey The work is of particular value not only by its recording of ro- mantic, exciting and useful _his- tories of old ships, but by its measured drawings of hull de- signs, rigs and special construc- tural features that were part and parcel of another generation, _. The able boat buildérs of those’ days seldom used plans, but whit- tled out a boat model and *structed beautiful and eff sailing craft on ‘the lines of the -model. Both Mr. Long and Captain Ferdinandsen are enthusiastic over the possibilties of the wark in Key We This Island City, they say, important in 19th cen- tury marine commerce, is the birthplace of what old-time sail seamen call “sailers from sailers- ville,” and many of these old craft are still in service, some of them converted into power boats. Captain Ferdinandsen, who is in close touch with the Key West project, has expressed gratifica- tion over the interest which Key Westers in general, and project employes in particular, have evinced in the work, and believes that the loyal people of the city will give full cooperation in help- ing the project workers gathering material. The project employs 12 per- sons: James E. Powell, assistant supervisor; Dexter Woods, his- tor:an; Concolina Perez, — sténo- grapher; Orlando Caraballo, Joe Hale, Howard Butler, Oliver Ar- mayor, Hilary Whalton, drafts- men; Joseph Lowe, Eddie Sands, C. C. Pinder and Anthony Perez, arpenters, WARRENS ARRIVE HERE WITH GUESTS Wm. R.
