Historical or Biographical Note
Company History: Stone & Swann boatyard; Stone & Van Bergen boatyard; W.F. Stone & Son boatyard; and Stone Boat Yard. Between
1853 and 1970 three generations of the Stone family built more than 225 wooden boats on the shores of San Francisco Bay. After
1970, Stone Boat Yard continued to operate until 2004 under various proprietors. Beginning in about 1937 Jack Ehrhorn (1919-2005)
was a master shipwright; he became operations foreman at the W.F. Stone & Son boatyard where he developed a reputation as
one of the west coast's premier craftsmen and builders. Jack Ehrhorn preserved the W.F. Stone & Son records that form the
core of this collection.
William I. Stone emigrated from Dartmouth, England and established a boatyard in the Hunter's Point area of San Francisco
in 1853, where he specialized in building small commercial boats as well as racing and recreational yachts. He was in business
until 1892, and he died in 1914.
W.I. Stone's eldest son, William Frank Stone (1868-1923; known as Frank Stone) opened a boatbuilding yard on Beach Street
in Tiburon in 1893, in partnership with someone only identified as Swann. Between 1893 and 1898, the Stone & Swann boatyard
specialized in building yachts, smaller gas power launches, and row boats. Vessels built and repaired at this location are
represented in Series 1 of this collection.
In 1899 Frank Stone moved his operations to Harbor View, San Francisco, and opened a partnership with Edgar N. Van Bergen.
In 1911, Stone & Van Bergen was evicted from this location because the planning and construction of the 1915 Pan Pacific Exposition.
Vessels built and repaired at this location are represented in Series 2 of this collection.
After being evicted from the Harbor View site in 1911, Frank Stone moved his operations to Oakland, at the foot of Diesel
Way and Kennedy Streets, adjacent to the Union Diesel Engine company. His son, Lester F. Stone (1892-1975) was formally brought
into the family business at this time, and the business name changed to W.F. Stone & Son. When Frank Stone died in 1923, Lester
Stone became the sole proprietor. After finishing his apprenticeship in the late 1930s, Jack Ehrhorn was hired by Lester Stone
to work in the Oakland yard as the lofts-man, master shipwright, and crew foreman. Following the entry of the United States
into World War II and the subsequent expansion of Union Diesel, W.F. Stone & Son was evicted from the Oakland yard and moved
across the estuary to Alameda. Vessels built and repaired at the Oakland yard are represented in Series 3 of this collection.
From its new location on Blanding Avenue in Alameda, W.F. Stone & Son boatyard built mine sweepers, sub chasers and fire tugs
for the U.S. Navy during the War. From 1946 until Lester Stone's retirement in 1970, Jack Ehrhorn and Lester Stone worked
collaboratively to design and build the expertly crafted recreational and racing yachts for which the yard was renowned. By
the late 1960s, however, the custom yacht building business was fading. Lester Stone retired in 1970 at the age of 78; he
passed away in 1975. Vessels built and repaired at this location under the W.F. Stone & Sone business name are represented
in Series 4 of this collection
After Lester Stone's death in 1975 the yard was sold at least two times, but continued doing business as Stone Boat Yard,
thereby retaining the historical name and connotations. When the business declared bankruptcy in 1986 it was purchased by
Bill and Grace Bodle, who refurbished the machinery and rehired some former employees, including Jack Ehrhorn. Stone Boat
Yard closed in 2004. Jack Ehrhorn passed away in 2005. This period is represented in Series 5 of this collection.

Collection Scope and Content
The Jack Ehrhorn collection of Stone Boat Yard naval architectural drawings (SAFR 22826, HDC 1611) consists of 1069 naval
architectural plans, of which 176 are original drawings from the Stone Boat Yard or one of its predecessor businesses. This
collection also includes 30 document files of research and business records from Jack Ehrhorn, Stone Boat Yard, or one of
its predecessor businesses. This collection is open for use by appointment only; a small number of items are unavailable for
due to their very fragile condition.
Collection Arrangement
The collection was donated in no discernable order, and many sheets have no positive identification of vessel name. Vessels
were deductively identified by the processing archvist using extant notes on the plans, including dates, vessel type and size
notes, contract and client information, etc. All original drawings were presumed to be original to one of the various Stone
boat yards.
Most of the sheets in the collection have small stickers or pieces of white tape affixed to the center bottom edge, with applied
alpha-numeric notations. In some cases these numbers were assigned in batches or runs, and these batch numbers help identify
vessels and jobs. These notations are referred to as 'applied numbers' and as 'item numbers' throughout the prepared finding
aid.
The Processing Archivist imposed an intellectual arrangement on this collection, and physically reorganized the collection
to meet the physical preservation and storage requirements of the plans in the collection.
The collection is arranged into eight (8) series. The first five (5) series include dated plans of vessels, including original
drawings, that were either built or repaired by one of the various Stone family boatyards. These first five series are arranged
by businees name, location and date. Series six (6) includes undated original drawings which cannot be identified by vessel
or date; because these are original ink on linen or pencil on paper drawings, they are assumed to have been created by one
of the various Stone boatyards. Series seven (7) includes blueprints, diazotypes and other duplicates of naval architectural
drawings or vessels that were neither built nor repaired at any of the Stone Boat Yards. Series 8 includes business and research
files.
Series 1: Stone & Swann (Tiburon, 1893-1899). Series 2: Stone & Van Bergen (San Francisco, 1900-1911). Series 3: W.F. Stone
& Son (Oakland, 1912-1941); sub-series 3.1: Built vessels; sub-series 3.2: Repair work and other jobs. Series 4: W.F. Stone
& Son (Alameda, 1941-1975). Series 5: Stone Boat Yard (Alameda, 1976-2004). Series 6: Undated original drawings; sub-series
6.1: Named vessels; sub-series 6.2: Unnamed or unidentfied vessels. Series 7: Plans originating from other architects and
yards; sub-series 7.1: Other naval architects; sub-series 7.2: Unidentified sources and vessels. Series 8: Business and Research
Files.
Storage Note: Plans are stored with 'like' items are far as material, and by size. Folders 1-11 are small map folders holding
plans up to 18x28 inches. Folders 12-47 are map folders holding plans up to 35 x 46 inches. Rolls hold plans which exceed
46 inches in either dimension. Oversize box 1 contains all items that are very fragile and not available for use. Series 8
is housed in a single 8 inch wide document box. Folder 'T4' is a large map folder holding estray drawings which need rehousing
with like material.

Zahma a wooden-hulled ketch with an auxiliary engine was designed by B. B. Crowninshield and completed in 1915 at Neponset,
Mass., by George Lawley and Son, Corp., for John H. Cromwell of Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, N.Y. Inspected by the Navy
at the entry of the United States into World War I for possible service as a patrol craft, the vessel was rejected as 'unsuitable
for naval use.' A quarter of a century later, the exigencies of war changed the Navy's evaluation of the graceful craft, and
she was placed in military service on 26 February 1942. Classified as a miscellaneous auxiliary and designated IX-63, Zahma
was based at San Diego as a local patrol craft in the spring of 1943. She was decommissioned and struck from the Navy roll
on 18 July 1944. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Zahma_(IX-63))
