Searching for Charles D. Mower

by Stan Grayson

Although he’d gained considerable success as a manufacturer of cardboard boxes, Schoettle’s real passion was sailing. It was this boat obsession, centered on but not limited to Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, and his impressive social connections that gave Schoettle access to the best-known yachtsmen and designers of his time.

MORGAN in the summer of 2014 during her first venture to sea in more than 90 years.
