FOREWORD 
 
 In reading over the cold listings of my collection which appear 
 in the following pages, I feel that it is only fitting that I should 
 express some of the sentiment attached to the various pieces and 
 to the collection as a whole before its final dispersal. 
 
 Born of a seafaring family dating back several generations and 
 inspired by their stories of romance and adventure, it was only 
 natural that I should hanker after and later assemble a collection 
 of relics which would tend to surround me with an atmosphere to 
 satisfy my longings. Having inherited some of the pieces, it was 
 a matter of adding from time to time such items as would fill in 
 here and there, with a sense of having obtained either some further 
 link with the past generation of American seafaring life, or an 
 item of usefulness and beauty with which to live. 
 
 My Library has given me untold pleasure and many an enjoy- 
 able evening. Here are told contemporary narratives of voyages 
 to unknown lands, accounts of the dangers of mutiny, shipwrecks 
 and piracy ; documentary history of the early merchant marine and 
 navy ; the whaling industry and voyages; the lives of great seamen 
 and a goodly assortment of accounts of individual ships. The 
 Library does not present the appearance of the handsomely morocco- 
 bound shelves of books, but its volumes are rather in the original 
 wrapper and cloth-bound form for sale to the seamen in the ports 
 of Philadelphia, Boston and New York. 
 
 The collection of Prints contains a series of the large and small 
 American lithographs of the American Clipper Ships, views of New 
 York, Baltimore and other American cities, and engravings of 
 historical events. 
 
 In the Paintings, my interest really lies in ship portraiture 
 rather than seascapes. Both the American and English schools are 
 represented, the one portraying the fine bold Ships-of-the-Line and 
 the other the Clipper and Packet Ships. Wilson’s Packet Ship 
 “‘Caroline’’ might well be termed symbolic. 
 
 A South Street sailors’ boarding house furnished me with the 
 first ship model,—the nucleus of my collection. The most ancient 
 model in my miniature fleet is that of the Royal scale Dock Yard 
 model of an Admiralty Yacht which is contemporary with King 
 Charles (1660), and which I consider my rarest model. The Ad- 
 miralty scale model of the great English man-of-war ‘‘Britannia’’ 
 (1682) is one of the earliest of the boxwood models offered in this 
 country. The ‘‘Royal Adelaide,’’ also a scale model, was designed 
 
by Robert Seppings, whose presentation tablet to King William IV 
 and Queen Adelaide, still attached to the case, is excellent proof of 
 its authenticity. The ‘‘Cesar,’’ a full-rigged ship-of-the-line built 
 to scale, is possibly the most carefully rigged of all its class. There 
 is an excellent assemblage of the very accurate bone models made 
 by the French prisoners of war in the English prisons, and speci- 
 mens of all types of the ‘‘Old Salts’’’ whittlings and tedious 
 rigging. 
 
 There are a number of relics of the sea pertaining to both ship 
 and man. Figurehead of the ‘‘Empress of the Sea’’; wheel of 
 the old H.M.S. ‘‘Hood’’; writing table or desk with inkwell and 
 sand box, wood block stamps in the form of a whale, all add a touch 
 of the great outdoors. 
 
 The furniture, both American and English, of the type quite 
 in keeping with the age and surroundings of our early fathers, 
 to-day is still appreciated and will always be admired for its sim- 
 plicity of design, the strength and purity of its architectural out- 
 lines. The Willard Hall Clock enclosed in its mahogany case is 
 of undoubted taste and would well adorn and dignify the hall of 
 any home. 
 
 The three examples of early American portraiture are worthy of 
 mention. Sharples’ ‘‘President Washington’’ is not an idealized 
 picture, but a portrait which his contemporaries believed to be 
 superb as to features and expression. The two Smyberts, of a 
 considerably earlier period, of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Balch of 
 Boston have been justly referred to as fine early examples of 
 American art, and tended to influence the younger generation in 
 portraiture in this country. 
 
 My wish is that the new possessors of the various items of my 
 collection may enjoy the companionship that I have enjoyed with 
 them.

 206 DUTCH ADMIRALTY YACHT 1660 
 
 Royal Navy boxwood scale model. Built in frame to show 
 construction. Of the very early type, rigged with one mast 
 for fore and aft rig. Stern handsomely carved and deco- 
 rated in gilt with figures of cupids and cherubs, mounted 
 with three lanterns. Galleries framed and finely carved. 
 Ports on either side for cannons, encircled with gilded 
 wreaths. The figurehead in the form of three cupids on either 
 side of bow. Completed portion decorated with gilt design 
 on black ground. 
 The record of this model is traceable to 1724, when it ap- 
 peared in the original inventory of Lord Lonsdale, at White- 
 haven Castle. It was, no doubt, at this time that the splen- 
 did Queen Anne walnut case was made in which it now ap- 
 pears. Glazed with original Vauxhall hand bevelled glass 
 and latticed with walnut moulding. 
 This is the first Admiralty Yacht Model ever offered for sale 
 in this country, and as far as we have been able to ascertain 
 no such piece has been offered abroad.

 The ‘‘Royal Adelaide,’’ a ship of 110 guns, was launched

 Robert Seppings. 
 
 British Admiralty boxwood 3/16 scale model. Carved full

 galleried with metal scroll rail of the very finest workmanship. 
 Colored white to waterline, black and buff above, bow in

 tension for withdrawal of the model. Enclosed in original 
 mahogany case set on four turned legs. 
 A Presentation tablet from Robert Seppings, the designer, to 
 King William IV and Queen Adelaide, is attached on both 
 sides. 
 It is quite evident that this was Robert Seppings’ own model of 
 his famous round stern design for the Man-of-War type of 
 ship, and it would appear that in 1832 he had prepared to pre- 
 sent the model to the then King and Queen of Great Britain. 
 Unfortunately he died in London that year and it may be 
 that he never had the opportunity to make the presentation.

 COLONIAL PORTRAITS

 JAMES SHARPLES 
 1761-1811 
 
 289 PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON 
 
 Profile to left, bust length in oval, black coat, white lace frill 
 and collar. Face in fine flesh tint, wearing wig. Dark back- 
 ground. Framed. Height, 2214 inches; width, 18 inches 
 This is as far as we are able to ascertain the only known 
 Sharples portrait of Washington in oil extant. It was for- 
 merly the property of George Washington Park Custis and 
 afterwards came into the possession of the late General Berry 
 of Baltimore. 
 
 James Sharples, born in England in 1761, came to this coun- 
 try in 1796, the same year he made his portrait of Washington 
 in Philadelphia. 
 
 This was the last sitting Washington gave to a painter. He 
 died in New York in 1811. 
 
 This portrait is extraordinary in that it does not disclose 
 Washington in the well-known attitudes, but is marvellous in 
 poise and strength of the known features. 
 
 George W. P. Custis says in a letter written to a friend: ‘‘I 
 assured Lord Napier . . . that the Sharples was the best like- 
 ness of the man extant. Trumbull for the figure, Stuart for 
 the head, and Sharples for the expression, and you have all 
 you can have of the portraiture of Washington.”’
