Searching for Charles D. Mower

by Stan Grayson

A long time ago now, at a cluttered, used-book shop on the New Jersey shore, I acquired the 1945 edition of Sailing Craft: Mostly Descriptive of Smaller Pleasure Sail Boats of the Bay. First published in 1928, Sailing Craft had been conceived and edited by a wealthy Philadelphian named Edwin J. Schoettle. 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.

It’s the last bit of working waterfront in the village of Stony Creek, nestled in Connecticut’s Thimble Islands.

Sailing with the CHARLES W. MORGAN

Almost any mast against a skyline can inspire a poet or painter, but it takes authenticity, the ring of truth, to take the breath away from even the most jaded professional mariner. That such a ship—ready for sea with a crisp and purposeful air—should also be the oldest surviving American square-rigged merchantman only makes the sight more compelling. Such was the CHARLES W. MORGAN in the summer of 2014 during her first venture to sea in more than 90 years.
