1 1 8 APPENDIX. — SHIP BUILDING. 



Mr. Carll retains an eighth interest in her. Bark Carrie L. Tyler, 565 

 tons register, carrying about 750 tons, having two full decks and a poop, is 

 engaged in foreign trade and Mr. Carll is a part owner. The schooner 

 yacht Clio was rebuilt at his yard and her speed greatly increased by being 

 lenghtened 12 feet and almost completely re-constructed. The schooner 

 yacht Ariel was served the same way with a similar result; she is now on the Pa- 

 cific, having sailed to California by way of the Straits of Magellan. Schooner 

 Joseph Rudd, a double-decked, centreboard vessel, built for the Texas 

 trade, owned bv the builder and Messrs. Woodhouse & Rudd, of N. Y. , 

 achieved distinction by an accident unique of its kind and a deliverance 

 equally notable. In a norther off the mouth of the Rio Grande she was car- 

 ried two miles inland and left upright and tight, but so far from her " native 

 element " that it seemed hopeless to think of her ever flouting again. Her 

 owners expended $23,000 in digging a canal to the sea, and after a year's 

 enforced absence she was again clasped to the bosom of the Guli, an ex- 

 perience only paralleled by that of the brig Atalanta, built by J. M. Bayles 

 & Son at Port Jefferson, which vessel was driven on the Mexican coast in 

 a norther and lay there for nearly a year before she could be put afloat, 

 without sustaining any appreciable strain or any worse apparent injury 

 than the loss of part of her copper sheathing. Schooner Herbert E., built 

 for Woodhouse & Rudd's Texas trade, carried about 600 tons, was valued, 

 new, at $35,000. In 1880 bark Mary Greenwood, the largest vessel built 

 at that vard, of about 1,100 tons capacity, was launched ; is now in Aus- 

 tralia under command of Capt. Tooker, and Mr. Carll owns three-eighths 

 of her, the balance being held by N. Y. parties. Schooner Fanny Brown, 

 of about 800 tons capacity, having two full decks and a poop, is a fine 

 vessel, principally owned in Richmond, Va. The last vessel launched 

 from his yard is the schooner Allie R. Chester, built on his own accoun 

 and still principally owned by him ; a vessel of somewhat similar type, 

 size and style to the Fanny Brown, and commanded by Capt. George 

 Tyler, of Smithtown. While no record has been kept, he thinks that in 

 all, of large and small craft he has built or aided in building between 40 

 and 50 ; but finding the margin for profit small on new work he has, for 

 the past tvventy years, sought to do only enough of it to keep his men 

 steadily employed ; his force of workmen during that time ranged from 25 

 to 95. Three times in the same period he has had to make Southern trips 

 for the benefit of his health, impaired by constant and close application to 

 business. 



The lists below are made up mainly from memory and are not com- 

 plete, but excepting tonnage as above noted, may be accepted as practically 

 correct :
