IN MEMORIAM The most active and capable yachtsman on the Lakes, H.C .KENDALL Commodore Harry C.Xendall, passed away at his Detroit 1866 = 1949 home on Dec.17. He was born in Detroit, the son of the late Fire Chief, for whom the fireboat JOHN KENDALL was named. Skilled from youth in handling sail boats, his yacht SHAMROCK won 37 consecutive races in the 90's. A consistent winner in many local races, he entered the SUEZ in the Mackinaw race back in 1928. He had assisted in organizing this race, and was its first judge. He served as Gommodore of the DYC and later of the DRYA, and still later as Commodore, then Secretary & Treasurer of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association. Keenly interested himself not only in all phases of the science of yachting, but a staunch advocate of it as a worthy national sport, Commodore Kendall showed unlimited kindness and generosity in assisting others to learn and excel. He was a true gentleman, of whom our Lakes may be proud. It is unfortunate that the knowledge which Commodore Harry Kendall gained through his long life cannot be handed down to his admirers in its entirety. But such is the Way of the Lord, and Commodore Kendall has now sailed on to that Spiritual Haven, the House not built with hands, Eternal in the Heavens. - Keith F.Smith.

The early vessels of the Evans fleet included typical propellors of the times, about 600 tons, several schooners and a tug. Here are the names and dates of some of these ships: propellors, ARIZONA, 1865; T.U.BRADBURY, 1855; IOWA, 1852; MERCHANT, 1862; NILE, ners! SALINA, 1866; T.A.SCOTT, 1869; SUN, 185k; WINSLOW, 1863: and ANNIE * YOUNG, 1869; schooners bore the names: ALLEGHENY, F.B.GARDNER, KEEP- SAKE, SCHUYLKILL, ANNIE SHER- WOOD, and H.C.WEEKS. The best remembered of this early fleet is the MERCHANT, built by Bell at Buffalo, 1862. She was the first iron hulled merchant vessel in America. In 1867 the Pennsylvania Railroad entered into a combine Wien avenge which resulted in the incorporation of the Erie The MERCHANT (above) & the CLARION & Western Transportation Co., & which came to be more popularly known as the "Anchor Line." At this time too, the attractive color scheme of the fleet was chosen, green hull up to the main deck and white above, white superstruct- ure, yellow spars, and erimson stacks. In 1868 the iron PHILA- DELPHIA joined the fleet, followed 3 years later by the wooden GORDON CAMP- - BELL. (cont'd next page) &) e -)
