Prominent Saint John Families

Albert Carty

Albert Carty

Albert Carty resided at 22 Courtney Street, enjoying building ship models during his retirement. After over forty years of living in the city Albert became well known for producing miniature detailed models of the sailing ships he saw during his sea faring life, and all the types he sailed on.

Albert was born October 5th 1879, on the island of Saint Martin. Dutch West Indies. He remembered very little about his extended family. At the age of nine he was orphaned, his father dying a few months after his mother.

As far as he could recall, on his mother's side of the family there were military men. As a child he remembered a sword weighing about five pounds his grandfather, a commissioned officer in the Dutch army, used to carry. There were three brothers that went to sea, two of which became captains sailing under the Dutch flag.

Albert served with the No. 2 Construction Battalion (described later on this site) during World War I.

The Carty Boys
" These young men are sons of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Carty, 22 Courtney Street. Mr. and Mrs. Carty have two other boys at home, Robert and Malcolm, who are members of the army Cadets and Air Cadets, respectively. Their father served in the first World War as a senior non-commissioned officer, An uncle, Seymour Tyler, was a sergeant in the first Great War." ...newspaper article from the 1940's.
