Samuel Watts ranked among the most prominent builder-owners of American merchant
vessels during the last half of the 19th century. The story of vessels built at Thomaston, Maine
during this period is to a great degree the story of Samuel Watts.
Watts commenced going to sea when he was 19, shipping as cook in the brig PENSACOLA.
Six years later he became master of the new brig HECTOR, which was soon after lost at Gay Head.
After sailing the brig ANN MARIAH for J.H. Counce, Edward O. Brien employed Samuel
Watts to command a series of seven brigs and barks. Watts next took charge of the ship JAMES NESMITH, then the FRANKLIN KING, and finally the ship WESTERN EMPIRE, a command which
marked the end of his seafaring career.
In company with Edward O. Brien, Watts built the ships S. CURLING and VESPER. After this
he began his own business, building vessels under the name of Watts & Co. From there on
Samuel Watts was recognized as a sound businessman, a respected builder, and a managing
owner of square-riggers and large schooners.
Associated with Samuel was his brother, Capt. Alfred Watts (1816-1882), who had been
master of the ships BARNABUS WEBB and GENERAL MCCLELLAN, and who retired from the sea to
manage the Watts shipyard. The Watts brothers continued to build large ships and schooners for
nearly 30 years.
Vessels built and/or managed by Samuel Watts were found in all the major sea lanes of the
world. Boston, New York, San Francisco, Liverpool, New Orleans, Antwerp, and numerous
other ports around the globe were frequented by the Watts fleet. By the time he retired in 1887,
Samuel Watts had launched 24 ships, 1 bark, and 17 schooners and he had been the managing
owner of 6 other vessels.
Samuel Watts died on March 7, 1900, at the age of 87.
Return to the Table of Contents
Samuel Watts' papers were preserved, and later organized, by this grandson, Mr. Samuel W.
Lewis. Much of Mr. Lewis' own research is contained in this collection, along
with that of his nephew, Mr. C. Winslow Lewis, Jr.
Boxes 1 and 2 contain the research done by Samuel W. Lewis relative to this grandfather,
Samuel Watts, and the vessels he built and managed. Included also are notes, etc. compiled by C. Winslow Lewis, Jr. Most of their research was carried on between
1940 and 1970.
Boxes 3-6 contain general business correspondence of Samuel Watts, 1838-1898. The
letters are arranged chronologically.
Box 7 holds general bills, receipts, accounts, disbursements, documents, etc., relative
primarily to Mr. Watts' shipping activity, 1836-1897.
Boxes 8-55 are series relative to specific vessels built and/or owned by Samuel Watts.
Nearly 100 vessels are represented, and within each series is everything that pertains to the
particular vessel, i.e. bills, disbursements, correspondence, documentation, etc.
Box 56 contains material of specific relevance to Samuel Watts and his shipping activities.
Box 57 is a collection of vessel prints reproduced from originals found in the collection.
They are arranged alphabetically by vessel name. Over half are photographs of the actual vessels,
while the rest of photos of vessel paintings.
The six volumes are comprised of 2 dividend books, 1857-1899, 3 ledgers, 1836-1899, and
a scrapbook, ca. 1900.
