ing to said ship-either in her voy-
age to Maryland or her return to
England.
This order was to free Baltimore
from the danger of having his crew
seized by British press gang for
service on board one Of His Majesty's
ships of-war.
In the public record office, and es-
pecially in the Courts Of the Ad
miralty, there are still to be found
papers relating to the two ships and
their famous voyage. One such rec
ord gives the agreement made with
the master of the pinnance Dove. His
name was Richard Orchard, and he
appears to have been source of
much worry and anxiety to Leonard
Calvert throughout the course of the
whole undertaking, a veritable Evil
lain of the piece"
This agreement was made not only
with Lord Calvert, but with Leonard
Calvert, Mr.. Jeremie Hawlye, Mr..
Thomas CORVALLIS and Mr.. John San
ders. Sanders had at this time a one
eighth interest in the Dove, so it is
likely that Hawlye, CORVALLIS and
Leonard Calvert himself had also
some share, however small, in the
ownership of the pinnace.
Judged by the purchasing power of
money of the present day, the officers
wages seem to be absurdly meager,
but they were probably considered
reasonable in the first half of the
seventeenth century. Orchard was to
get pounds month; his mate, Sam
uel Lawson, pounds 10 shillings;
his boatswain, Richard .Kenton, and
his gunner, John Games, 1 pound .
shillings each. Two other men men
toned in the agreement, John Curke
and Nicholas Perrie, very likable able
seamen, were to get pound each
month. This agreement was signed
by Lord Baltimore himself.

rig of merchant ships OF the first half
of the seventeenth century, it is
quite possible to present a very fair
idea of the appearance, size and rig
of both vessels-thanks to r. C. An
derson, of Southampton, England, an
official of the Society for Nautical Re-
search and editor of The Mariners
Mirror, who has supplied invaluable
suggestions. The chief difficulty in
estimating their size arises from the
fact that we do not know whether the
tonnage ascribed to either ship meant
tonnage" or "tons and tonnage"
The term tonnage" was the approx
mate capacity of ships hold in
terms of tons of wine, while "tons
and tonnage" was supposed to be her
capacity for deadweigth of cargo in
bulk, and was one and one third times
the former. That is, if vessel could
carry 300 tons of wine, she would be
able to carry 400 tons of cargo in
bulk.
Now as the Ark carried but a small
crew, about 40 men, it seems reason
able to suppose that the $50 tons
figure given by Calvert represents a
"ton and tonnage" figure, and that her
tonnage expressed in tons of wine
would be about 27O. On the proper
tions of a typical merchantmen of
1925, and she was no doubt built by
or before that date, she would have
keel of IA feet, beam of % feet in
side the plank, and depth of Is feet
measured from a point of her great
est breadth to the top Of her keel.
Her length from stem to sternpost
would be about 120 feet, or the length
of the keel plus the beam.
To arrive at the above figures a
simple formula is used of keel-length
times the breadth times the depth di-
vided by 100, whose quotient leaves
us with the approximate tonnage"
figures. Using the same formula, the

The comforts and conveniences on
shipboard of the first white men and
women who came to Maryland were
few indeed. Of luxuries they had
none and the items deemed absolutely
necessities by the modern ns-atlan-
tic passenger were for the most part
lacking. There would be cabins under
the after end of the quarterback and
perhaps another under the poop But
these would be occupied by the ships
officers and the leaders. of the eXpe-
dition. The majority of the passen-
gers would be carried in temporary
quarters on the lower deck.
Some sort of stove would be carried
amidships for cooking and heating
purposes, but most primitive affair
No doubt it was but a tripod sand
box such as Columbus used on his
celebrated voyage nearly a century
and a half before. Cooking had to be
done in kettle suspended from this
tripod or with a skillet held in the
hand over the flames. We can be GER
tain that in storms and heavy weather
our Maryland forefathers ate their
victuals cold, and were with no fire at
all, no matter how chilly the weather
might be.
The ships boat would normally be
slowed over the main hatch, but since
in pleasant weather the matches would
be kept open as much as possible, it
is likely it was towed astern. The

Steering was done with the whip
staff" lever fitted on a pin at the
end of the tiller passing loosely as a
lever, and partly, by sliding through
its pivot, as a direct pushrod on the
tiller. In bad weather it had to be
disconnected and the ship steered with
tackles. This whipstaff could do little
more than keep the ship on her course
after she had been got there by trim
ming her sails.
