Private Collection of a Lady, Chapel Hill, NC

From the bark Doon, built in 1870. This classic sailing ship plied the Atlantic until 1920 when she was dis-masted and converted into a lumber barge. Based in Mobile, the Doon spent her last days servicing Florida real estate developers on behalf of the Eastman-Gardinier Lumber Co. When she was finally scuttled, many of the Doon's elements went into private nautical collections. The items presented here belonged to McWhorter Beers (1886-1969), a Laurel, Mississippi banker who was with Eastman-Gardinier Lumber as a young man. The consignor, whose father acquired these relics from the Beers Estate, aptly states that their present sale will "mark the final disassembly of the Doon."

Crazed surfaces.
