[3] A memorandum dated April 20, 1899, in the manuscript file on the
watercraft collection shows that the Museum had both the rigged model
and the original logbook at that time. Also in the collection were a
coffee urn and miniature portrait of the _Savannah's_ captain, Moses
Rogers, that had been presented to him abroad; later, these items were
returned to the donor. A cup and saucer belonging to Captain Rogers
also had been given to the Museum, and they are now in its historical
collection.

New Jersey, 1938. Between the years 1817 and 1837 the yard of Fickett
and Crockett also operated at various times under the name of S. & F.
Fickett and the name of Fickett and Thomas. The yard appears to have
specialized in the construction of coastal packet ships, because only
4 ocean packets, against 24 coastal packets, were built by the various
partnerships in which Fickett was a member.
