Isaac Myers
Born in 1835 to free parents, Isaac Myers raised and birthed in Baltimore, literally started from the bottom. Growing up in an age where African-American children were not allowed to go to school, Myers was fortunate to have secretly learned to read and write under the tutelage of a Methodist minister by the name of John Fortie.

With the suggestion of his parents, his parents arranged for Myers to take up the art of ship caulking under the apprenticeship of a well-known African American ship caulker named Thomas Jackson. At the age of 16, Myers apprenticed with Jackson frequently due to the very busy industry and amount of work available in Baltimore for caulkers. Myers was a quick learner and learned his craft fairly quickly and after four years of apprenticeship, Myers was responsible for his own of caulkers who caulked large ships.

Amongst the many caulkers, Frederick Douglass (a leased slave at the time) worked under the ownership of shipyard owners and did so in 1836 and 1837 up until he escaped to his freedom.

In 1865 Myers got married and later had three children. Myers, no longer a Caulker, became a high ranking clerk at a wholesale grocery business and due to mistreatment to blacks during his work as a Caulker; he organized a group of black and white businessmen to create a new shipyard.

Myers recognized many great Caulkers and after handing over leadership to Frederick Douglass, Myers involved himself in the Republican Party with Lincoln. After working as a customs service agent and as a postal inspector, he returned to Baltimore from the southern U.S and operated a coal yard. In 1891 Myers died at the age of 56.
