History of the T.A. Scott Company
The T.A. Scott Company of New London, Connecticut was incorporated in 1903. In 1922 it was merged with the Merritt & Chapman Derrick & Wrecking Company to form the Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation, a diversified industrial corporation.
In the spring of 1860 the Board of Marine Underwriters of New York City undertook to solve the problems presented by mounting losses from shipwrecks and the intolerable state of salvage along the Atlantic seaboard. Marine salvage had long been in the hands of unorganized, selfappointed amateurs who were often unscrupulous. The Board of Marine Underwriters established the Coast Wrecking Company and placed Israel J. Merritt at its head. It was primarily because of Merrittts character, integrity and experience that the enterprise prospered from the beginning. Before long his wrecking and salvage vessels, carrying the symbolic Black Horse Flag at the masthead, became known throughout the shipping world. Merritt selected for his flag a galloping black horse on a field of white as a tribute to the agents in isolated areas who raced on horseback to the nearest telegraph station to notify the Coast Wrecking Company of vessels in distress. These agents have been referred to as the “Pony Express of the Beaches”. Within a score of years after the establishment of the Coast Wrecking Company, Merritt was in a position to buy the business and reorganize it as Merritt’s Wrecking Organization, in partnership with his son, Israel Jr.
Inevitably competition developed when another figure of like mold, William E. Chapman, formed the Chapman Derrick & Wrecking Company which specialized in the lighterage and hoisting business in the flourishing port of New York. This firm was well provided with equipment, knowledge, and experience to engage in marine salvage. The rivalry between these two outstanding companies was by no means always friendly, but in 1897 they solved their competitive problems in the spirit of the era by merging to form the Merritt & Chapman Derrick & Wrecking Company.
Meanwhile another wrecking and salvage organization, with a specialty also in construction, had entered the field. This was the T.A. Scott Company, Inc. above mentioned, the central figure in which was a distinguished and much experienced master diver.
Thomas Albertson Scott (1830-1907) started his life-long association with the sea at the age of fifteen when he and a young companion began trading wood for oysters and clams in towns near Snow Hill, Maryland, where he was born. Seven years later, in 1852, he shipped out as a seaman on the schooner JOHN WILLETTS. Within three short years he had become master and part owner of a schooner referred to in one place as the BLACKBIRD and in another place as the THOMAS NELSON.
After a few years Scott sold his interest in the schooner and moved his family to Coytesville, New Jersey, where he opened a general store. Within two years he abandoned the store after making a contract to salvage the cargo from a steamer sunk near Fort Lee, New Jersey. After this experience he was employed to remove the wreck of the steamer SCOTLAND, sunk in the channel off Sandy Hook. On January 30, 1870, he displayed his character by stuffing his own body into a hole in the side of the Hoboken-Manhattan ferry UNION to keep her from sinking in the icy waters of the Hudson. At this time Scott was master of the tug RELIANCE of the Off-shore Wrecking Company. Shortly after this incident he entered the employ of Francis Hopkinson Smith who had contracted to construct the Race Rock Lighthouse off the west end of Fishers Island in Long Island Sound.
About 1871, Captain Scott, as he was called by all who knew him, moved his family to New London, Connecticut, so they would be with him during the construction of the Race Rock Lighthouse. After this long, and seemingly impossible task was completed in 1878, Scott remained in New London where he engaged in marine salvage and construction operations.
When the firm was incorporated in 1903, under the name of T.A. Scott Company, Inc., Captain Scott’s second son, Thomas Albertson Scott (1877-1961) became president. Under the vigorous leadership of the younger Scott, the firm turned increasingly to construction but did not neglect salvage operations. In 1904 they designed and built a plant to manufacture bichromate of potash and soda for the Mutual Chemical Company in Jersey City, New Jersey. Two years after the death of the elder Scott in 1907, the company constructed a cellulose plant at Afton, New York, for the Ansco Company. Salvage operations were expanded by the absorption of the Boston Tow Boat Company in 1911. The ability to combine its underwater and construction activities was demonstrated in 1914 when the company built the Connecticut State Pier in New London. In 1915 it added a warehouse to the pier to handle cargo brought in by German commercial submarines.
With the outbreak of World War I salvage operations were greatly expanded. Scott was commissioned Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy and was put in charge of all government salvage in American waters, but he directed much of the salvage in European waters as well. Between 1918 and 1920 he served on the United States Shipping Board. He resigned his position of president of T.A. Scott Company, Inc., in 1917, and was reelected to that post in 1920, after he left the United States Shipping Board. Partly as a result of the close co-operation between the Scott Company and the Merritt & Chapman Derrick & Wrecking Company of New York, rumors began to spread soon after the war that the two firms would merge.
The merger was accomplished in 1922, as noted above, when the Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation was formed with Thomas Albertson Scott as president. He later served as board chairman as well. During the boom following World War I, Merritt-Chapman & Scott turned more and more to construction and expanded its operations by adding a continent-wide chain of subsidiaries, most of which were disposed of during theensuing depression. During those lean years, following the stock market crash of 1929, the company survived largely through construction contracts on public works.
During World War II Merritt-Chapman & Scott served widely in salvaging both navy and commercial vessels, saving cargoes and ships worth nearly $700 million in 498 rescue missions. For these services, both Thomas A. Scott and Captain Walter N. Davis, Merritt-Chapman & Scott’s senior salvage officer, were awarded Medals of Merit by President Harry S. Truman in 1946.
New blood was added to the company when Louis E. Wolfson was elected to the board in 1949. When Thomas A. Scott retired from active service to become honorary board chairman in 1951, Wolfson was chosen to succeed him as board chairman. The duties of the president were also placed on Wolfson’s shoulders in 1953. He held both positions until 1959, when he resigned the presidency.
Under Wolfson’s vigorous leadership, Merritt-Chapman & Scott became more and more diversified and engaged increasingly in construction activities. Milton Electric Steel Company, Milton, Pennsylvania, was acquired in 1953. By 1955 diversification had further increased through the addition of Devoe & Raynolds Company, Inc., Louisville, Kentucky, New York Shipbuilding Corporation, Camden, New Jersey, and Tennessee Products & Chemical Corporation, Nashville, Tennessee.

Scope and Content
The Records of the T.A. Scott Company, Inc., 1889-1927, consist of 25 document boxes containing 18,209 pieces which deal only with the marine salvage operations of this widely diversified firm. These papers form what the company called its “Wreck File”. Although there are items dating between 1889 and 1927, by far the largest segment date between 1910 and 1919. Of the nearly 500 wrecks concerned, only 41 occurred before 1910 and none after 1919. The papers dated after 1919 pertain usually to court cases which dragged on over a period of several years.
Included among the papers are primarily correspondence, telegrams, transcriptions of telephone conversations, memorandums of charges, memorandums of services rendered, bills, office and inter-office memorandums, wreck reports, marine protests, newspaper clippings, lists of materials and gear used, lists of items salvaged, charts, broadsides, statements of general average, divers reports, reports of survey, blue prints, and agreements, contracts, and other legal papers. A few photographs which were removed from the papers and six large scrapbooks of photographs which came with them have been transferred to the Museum’s photographic collection.
Restoring the papers to their original order seemed to be the logical first step in processing them. The Company had placed all papers pertaining to single accidents, whether involving one or more vessels, into separate envelopes with labels bearing identifying symbols such as A1, B23, or Y6. A usable, although inadequate, index was compiled by the Company and came to the library with the papers. Although the order of the papers within the envelopes was seldom disturbed, the envelopes themselves had, over the years, become badly mixed up. Once the envelopes had been restored to their original order, the papers could be removed, unfolded, and placed in proper folders and storage boxes. Thus, all the papers pertaining to a particular accident or vessel are still maintained as a single unit. The number of pieces pertaining to an accident range from one to more than 175. To make the papers more useful to scholars, alphabetical indexes to vessels, owners, and locations of accidents have been compiled. A chronological index has also been added.
As is frequently the case with company papers, some irrelevant items have found their way into this collection. The only ones in this category are found under the location symbols F1-F5. Two items, papers regarding John Knight Bucklyn and the construction of Thomas A. Scotts house in New London, are personal, whereas those pertaining to the New London Marine Iron Works and the Colorado River Improvement Company are of a business nature but do not pertain to the salvage operations of the Company.
Six folders of materials extracted from a group of miscellaneous papers which came with the Wreck File have been included in box 25 of the collection. These materials may be listed as follows: a partial list of the Scott Company’s wrecking equipment in 1911, papers regarding the purchase of engines for the tug TASCO in 1906, memorandums regarding the acquisition of the equipment of the Boston Tow Boat Company in 1911, statement of the general average of the schooner SARAH & LUCY in 1910, papers of the New London Ship & Engine Company and the Electric Boat Company between 1910-1916, and data concerning earlier shipwrecks in Long Island Sound compiled in 1912. The last group concerns prospective court action centering around the tug SARAH E. McWILLIAMS and has dates ranging from 1893-1912.
Accidents to almost every kind of vessel are documented in these papers. The subjects range from little known or unknown barges to large and luxurious yachts and passenger liners.
Some accidents may be mentioned here by way of illustration. One case worthy of special attention because of the method used in the salvage operations is that involving the barges MANHEIM,, COLERAINE and TUNNEL RIDGE, probably of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which went ashore at North Truro, Massachusetts, on April 14, 1915 during a gale. The COLERAINE and TUNNEL RIDGE were stripped and burned but the MANHEIM was floated during a similar gale in March, 1916. In order to assure success to the operations, Ezra Rolfe and four assistants lived on the barge for eleven months awaiting suitable conditions. In the meantime they rigged hawsers to three big anchors in deep water and hooked them to winches on the barge. When the barge floated during the gale on March 23, 1916, the five men using the winches, pulled the barge safely into deep water.
Two accidents of a peculiar nature involved the schooners MAGGIE ELLEN, ESTELLE and MINNIE SLAUSON. On November 13, 1912 the MAGGIE ELLEN ran ashore on Fishers Island, New York, for some unexplained reason. Soon thereafter the ESTELLE ran ashore at the same place after mistaking the beacon lights of the MAGGIE ELLEN for those of Little Gull Island and Race Rock, New York. The MINNIE SLAUSON sank near Handkerchief Shoal on September 23, 1915 after colliding with the Handkerchief Lightship.
Two well-known yachts which required the services of the Scott Company were the DAUNTLESS and the WARRIOR. The famous old DAUNTLESS was dismantled and destroyed after sinking at her moorings at Essex, Connecticut on February 5, 1915. The large and luxurious WARRIOR, once the property of Frederick Vanderbilt, went ashore on Fishers Island, New York on July 19, 1916.
One type of accident which occurred with almost alarming frequency was a collision between a steamer such as the TENNESSEE and a schooner such as the SAMUEL S. THORP. These two vessels collided off Fishers Island, New York on the night of October 9, 1915. The steamer arrived in New York two days later with a forty foot hole torn in her port side almost amidships. All of her 240 passengers were transferred to the steamer CONCORD. A large hole was cut in the bow of the schooner only eight inches above the water line. She was towed to New London, Connecticut, stern first.
One quite famous case involved the German commercial submarine DEUTSCHLAND and the Scott Company tug T.A. SCOTT, JR. During the early morning hours of November 17, 1916, while two Scott Company tugs were escorting the submarine out through The Race between Fishers Island and Little Gull Island, the DEUTSCHLAND accidentally rammed the T.A. SCOTT, JR. The tug sank almost immediately, carrying with it all five of its crew members. The only survivor of those on the tug was Frederick T. Hinsch of the interned German liner NECKAR and managing director of the Eastern Forwarding Company. The DEUTSCHLAND returned immediately to her berth in New London.
Another famous case concerns the liner ST. PAUL which turned on her side and sank at her pier in New York harbor on April 25, 1918 while undergoing conversion to a troop transport. In this case the Scott Company furnished divers, gear, and salvage equipment to the Merritt & Chapman Derrick & Wrecking Company, which had the contract to raise the vessel. Success in this venture was considered a major triumph in salvage during World War I.
In all, these papers depict at least one incident in the history of approximately 500 vessels. Occasionally the final chapter in the life of a vessel is shown. This is the case with the six-masted schooner ALICE M. LAWRENCE of Portland, Maine, which struck on Tuckernuck Shoals near Nantucket, Massachusetts, after striking the sunken wreck of the schooner FRENCH VAN GILDER on December 5, 1914. The schooner was stripped and abandoned to the elements. On the other hand, these papers occasionally portray the opening chapter in the life of a vessel as in the case of the schooner HESPER. The Crowninshield Shipbuilding Company of Fall River, Massachusetts, built the HESPER for Rogers & Webb of Boston, Massachusetts. On July 4, 1918 during launching ceremonies, the schooner broke through the launch ways. After some delay, she was successfully launched. Most of the time, however, these papers present only a glimpse at one of the many incidents in the career of a vessel.
The word “missing” found in several places indicates that the absence of the materials has not been explained satisfactorily. In some instances the papers were removed and filed in another office, perhaps awaiting the decision of a court. Some envelopes contained notes to the effect that the materials had been sent to Thomas A. Scott in New York where he probably was engaged in negotiations with owners and/or underwriters. In some cases, records during 1918 and 1919 were probably removed to be carried forward into later years because salvage operations had not been completed or because the case was not settled. In other cases it can only be surmised that the papers were removed for some unexplained reason and were never returned.
