From the Salisbury Advertiser - 1906 - Sharptown
news
The event of this week was the launching of the four masted
schooner, Albert B. Robinson which slid into the water at 9:15 A.M. Monday. This
was one of the many very beautiful launchings that have been witnessed here. She
made a complete semicircle crossing the river and stopping only after she had
gone a considerable distance in the Dorchester shore, and many visitors were
present, including many ladies, which made the event a very enjoyable one. This
schooner is being built by the Sharptown Marine Railroad Co for Capt. E. C.
Bennett and others at a cost of $30,000.
