DATE OF THIS ** ORIGINAL ** ITEM: 1929 Ella Condie Lamb (1862 - 1936) was an American painter and stained glass artist. She was one of first women to be accepted into the National Society of Mural Painters. Lamb née Condie was born on August 30, 1862, in New York City. In 1878 she began studying at the National Academy of Design. In 1881 she began studying at the Art Students League of New York. Her teachers in New York included James Wells Champney, William Merritt Chase, Frederick Dielman, Walter Shirlaw, Charles Yardley Turner and Lemuel Wilmarth. In 1884 Lamb traveled to Europe to study, returning in 1885. In 1888 she married Charles Rollinson Lamb with whom she had five children. An artist is his own right, Charles Rollinson Lamb was a second generation owner of the J&R Lamb Studios. Ella joined the studio creating stained glass designs and murals. Lamb was a member of the National Arts Club and the National Society of Mural Painters. She was also a member of the National Association of Women Artists. She exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Society of American Artists, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Arts Club, and the Society of Independent Artists. She exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. She also participated in the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, and the Pan-American Exposition of 1901 in Buffalo, New York. In the late 1890s she designed the mosaic mural in the apse of Sage Chapel at Cornell University. Lamb died on January 25, 1936, in Cresskill, New Jersey. Ella and Charles' daughter Katharine Lamb Tait (1895–1981) joined J&R Lamb Studios in 1921. She was the head designer from 1936 through 1979. Ella and Charles' son Karl Barre Lamb (1890–1969) joined J&R Lamb Studios in 1923. He was head of the Studio from 1932 through 1969, streamlining the studio to focus solely on glass. Hacker-Craft is the name given to boats built by The Hacker Boat Co. It is an American company, founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1908 by John Ludwig Hacker (1877–1961, known as John L. Hacker or just "John L.") and is one of the oldest constructors of wooden motor boats in the world. The company moved operations to New York State in the 1970s and continues to produce hand-built boats. Hacker was a naval architect and American motorboat designer. His major design and engineering accomplishments include the invention of the "V"-hull design and the floating biplane for the Wright brothers. The company was known for its runabouts, utilities, commuters, and tenders. Hacker was born in Detroit, Michigan on May 24, 1877. For four years, while working at his father's business as a bookkeeper, he attended night school and took a correspondence course in order to become an accredited marine designer. Once qualified (at the age of 22) he set about solving a number of problems that inhibited speed and performance in motor boats. Pleasure boats of the 1900 era were narrow, round bottomed launches that plowed through the water instead of planing over it as boats do nowadays. Hacker's first major task in boat design was to try to solve the problem of "squatting", which occurred with all the canoe-stern shaped powerboats of the 1900s. His theory was that if his boats were going to go fast, they would have to "plane" rather than plow through the water, but the tendency to plane was considered an unsafe mode that was to be avoided. Nonetheless, he built a test craft to prove his new theories—a 30-foot (9.1 m) runabout. The boat's propeller and rudder were mounted under the transom and a strut was used to position the propeller shaft. The boat also featured Hacker's revolutionary "V"-hull design, which produced stunning speed and efficiency at low horsepower. In 1904, he designed Au Revoir, the fastest boat in the world at the time, and on August 12, 1908, building on this success, he founded the Hacker Boat Company in Detroit, upon purchasing and renaming an existing firm, the Detroit Launch and Power Company. Coincidentally, this was the same day on which the first ever Model T Ford automobile was produced by his friend, Henry Ford. Hacker's designs led to many advances that today's boat owners take for granted. His combination of design flair and engineering brilliance led him to create the shape and style that was to become the signature look of American speedboats. The names of his designs include Pardon Me, the Minute Man, Thunderbird, El Lagarto, Bootlegger, Peerless, Dolphin, Kitty Hawk, Tempo VI, the Belle Isle Bear Cats, Lockpat II, and My Sweetie.

Motor Boating began in 1907 as The Motor Boating Magazine. It was renamed Motor Boating and Sailing in 1970, and MotorBoating in 2000. It ceased publication in 2011.
Motor Boating & Sailing, "The Boat Owner's Magazine," was founded in 1907 as a yachting publication with the original title Motor Boating; the word "sailing" was added to the title in 1970. William Randolph Hearst acquired it in 1909 as part of his fledgling magazine operation. The legendary Charles F. Chapman, author of the seaman's bible Chapman's Piloting, served as editor and publisher for 55 years. Motor Boating & Sailing has won more than 50 editorial and design awards, more than all other boating magazines combined.
Yachting is an American luxury boating magazine WHICH BEGAN PUBLICATION IN 1907.
The monthly Rudder Magazine for Yachtsmen was first published in 1891 and ceased publication in June 1977. The magazine's founder and first editor, Thomas Fleming Day, born Somerset, England in March 1861, died 19 August 1927 at his home in Harlem, New York, was working in 1890 as a boat salesman for a shop on Dey Street in New York which also produced a catalog of nautical wares. His employer thought that “getting out a little paper” and charging for advertising space would be more lucrative than producing all those free catalogs. Mr Day obliged. From July 1977 until January 1981 (occasionally later), the name of "The Rudder" was used by Inland Sea, Lakeland Boating, Lakeland Boating/Sea, Sea, Sea (Inland edition) and Western Sea.
