Scope and content:: The collection of business papers and documents represents the history of the firm, Fellows and Stewart, Inc. until 1967, and to some extent the firm as it was known much earlier (circa 1907-1917) as Joe Fellows Yacht and Launch Company. Financial ledgers, office correspondence, design notes, naval architectural plans and photographic prints remain as evidence of the firm’s history on Terminal Island, California, and their place among local shipbuilders in Los Angeles Harbor as designers and builders of pleasure craft, fishing and work boats, and vessels for government agencies. The collection’s architectural plans are indicative of this range of vessels, while the photographic prints provide a glimpse of the construction yards, completed vessels, launchings, and craft underway in the Harbor, as well as personal and family portraits and snapshots.
