In fact she asked if I would wish Walter Fondren well from her. After henry Grebe's death the yard was run primarily as a repair yard and though I haven't any clear idea of when exactly they closed completely it must have been around 1995 or 6. After a long spell of no chatting with Barbara. There was absolutely no connection between the Annapolis yards of Trumpy and the Chicago yard of Grebe. While Grebe forged onward with good solid works.
All similarities are as the result of tried and true traditional hull development and refinement.
I am more interested in finding her a caring owner than simply making the sale a financial transaction. Our reason for contemplating the sale is a new and bigger house just acquired. All the best, Ken Wilkinson. I have not been able to find any information on the Internet or anywhere else about the Grebe, although it was very well known. I think I am going to set up a Grebe-Trumpy forum in he near future.
