Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series relates to a schooner that Burg purchased around 1939 and initially named the Captain R. O. Rankin after its former owner before changing its name to Endeavour. In addition to official paperwork relating to the ship, this series includes the ship's plans, a manual for its operation, logbook entries, a few photographs, and two newspaper articles about the ship. The series also includes notes that Amos Burg and his wife, Carolyn Burg, wrote about the ship in the 1980s, and a photograph of a drawing depicting a different ship, the H. M. Bark Endeavour, which may have been the namesake of Burg's schooner.

Due to condition, plans for ship equipment in Oversize Folder 1 may require assistance to view; contact library staff.
