They were placed in the vault at the old City Hall , but there were no facilities for their proper care , and even the tenderest handling produced further decay . AS these old documents are necessary in Obtaining clear titles to property , back to the early days , and are Of great i value and interest to antiquarians, the Newport Histor cal Society felt that an effort Should be made to rescue the to papers from such an unfortunate condition , and agreed care for them and superintend their restoration . Under a resolu Of 1 894 tion the City Council , in January , , the records were deposited with the Society , and since then the volumes have been arranged by the librarian and then preserved by the Emery Record Preserving Company in Taunton , whenever appropriations have been made by the city, for this work . The Eme ry Silk process renders the damaged records ac cessible and insures them from future deterioration . It of consists preserving each leaf or document, between sheets Of transparent silk , which leaves the writing as clear as before , and even clearer after exposure to the light and air . New margins of inlaid paper which protect the wri ting at the 5 edges of the original leaves help also to make a strong i bind ng . Since the Newport records have been deposited with the Historical Society , many volumes have been arranged , pre v ser ed and indexed . Hundreds of visitors have examined them , and many letters have been received and answered concerning them . They are always carefully guarded , and are placed in the vault especially erected for them , when not in use . All who appreciate the charm and interest of these Old papers are cordially invited to see them while they are in the d custo y of the Society .

  • Early Days in the Navy
    Photograph of William Taylor Skiddy (c. 1795-1870), midshipman on the U.S. Hornet in 1815, in after years. Early Days in the Navy During these at present, as I write this, excoriating months of summer, I am taking a break from my more usual studies to brush up on my immediate familiarity with the history of the post-Revolutionary War United States Navy. Among the volumes I’ve thus far, or else mostly, finished are Stephen W.H. Duffy’s Captain Blakeley and the Wasp: The Cruise of 1814, and A Gentlemanly and Honorable Profession: The Creation of the U.S. Naval Officer Corps, 1794-1815 by Christopher McKee -- both veritable classics of their kind. Duffy’s biography of Master Commandant Johnston Blakeley is singularly splendid. Here’s some first-rate research and accompanied by descriptions of naval actions that could hold their own in drama and excitement with some of the masters of nautical fiction; by an author who knows the technical niceties of sea faring and survival in an early 19th century sailing ship breasting the ocean in time of war. As well, the book ends up being surprisingly moving: Blakeley, having lost his entire (immediate) family at a young age, makes his way up the ladder in the nascent U.S. navy, encountering daunting and trying challenges along the way; finds time to get married; finally sets sail after a protracted and tedious fitting out of his new vessel and command; wins two incredible and stunning battles; only to shortly after be mysteriously lost at sea with his victorious ship and men.1 While Duffy’s facts and data could be shored up at points and be profitably served by further analysis, exploration and development of what he presents (including perhaps philosophical-artistic development), this shortcoming can be pardoned given what a magnificent job he’s done gathering up the requisite materials.

  • NCL Summer 2002
    NORTH CAROLINA Books Dorothy Hodder, Compiler andwiched between the American Revolution and the Civil War, the War of 1812 seldom merits our attention. Except for the burning of Washington and Jackson’s after-the-fact victory at S New Orleans, few people know or remember much about it. To be honest, American military forces were not very successful during the conflict save for the warships of the tiny U. S. Navy. In single- ship battles during the war, the Americans beat the British, the world’s greatest naval power, in six of seven encounters. The U.S.S. Wasp, a sloop-of-war under the command of North Carolinian Johnston Blakeley, won one of the most famous of those Stephen W. H. Duffy. victories. Born in Ireland in 1781, Blakeley and his family Captain Blakeley and the Wasp: immigrated to Wilmington when he was two and he spent his formative years in North Carolina, including time at The Cruise of 1814. the University at Chapel Hill from 1796–1799. In 1800, he Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2001. secured an appointment as a naval midshipman and 348 pp. $34.95. ISBN 1-55750-176-9. subsequently was posted to various warships fighting the Barbary pirates along the North African coast. From1804– 1812, his career slowly progressed as he served on several different Navy ships and finally was promoted to his first independent command. Congress declared war on England on June 18, 1812, and Blakeley was given command of the Wasp the follow- ing month. The Wasp was launched in 1813 and in 1814 Blakeley and his crew received their sailing orders — to proceed to the English coast, harass and capture British merchantmen, and engage and destroy Royal Navy ships as the opportunity presented itself.

  • When Lago Was Lucky Introduction
    WHEN LAGO WAS LUCKY INTRODUCTION The February 16, 1942 attack by German U-boat 156 on the Lago Oil & Transport Company’s refinery on Aruba, Netherlands Antilles has been well documented. Lago’s bi- weekly publication, The Aruba Esso News, carried a series of articles titled “The War Years at Lago” in 1946 and in 1962 then editor William Hochstuhl wrote a 20th anniversary article, “German U-boat 156 Brought War to Aruba February 16, 1942.” This in-depth report was republished by Clyde Harms, along with eyewitness accounts and the English translation of a portion of the submarine’s log book, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the attack in 2002. One can get additional information from the histories of the various military units that served in Aruba, from books, and from numerous magazine and newspaper accounts. In his book Aruba Past and Present (1961), Dutch historian Johan Hartog devotes ample space to Aruba during the war years. U-boat war diaries (KTBs) are available from the National Archives; War Operations Reports (BdUs) can be found on the Internet. For several years a U-boat roundtable has been meeting periodically to discuss the details of the attack itself, especially those first shells fired at a land target in the Americas in World War II. A review of this recorded history might lead one to the conclusion that there is nothing more to be said on the topic. Nevertheless, many details about those early war years in Aruba have been scattered, misstated, distorted or as yet unreported by researchers in regard to the ships, planes and people involved and decisions made.

  • IN MEMORIAM John C. Fredriksen
    The War of 1812 Magazine Issue 24 November 2015 IN MEMORIAM John C. Fredriksen, 1953-2014 We have just learned that the noted War of 1812 scholar, John C. Fredriksen, passed away in July 2014 after waging a losing struggle against a brain tumor. For more than three decades, John was a steady and major contributor to studies of the war, particularly in the field of bibliography. John Conrad Fredriksen was born in February 1953 at Quonset Point Naval Air Station in Rhode Island where his father was serving in the United States Navy. John always wanted to pursue a military career himself but was prevented from doing so because he suffered from asthma. He dropped out of high school and embarked on a career in film animation as a cartoon artist. He later obtained his GED and entered UCLA as an undergraduate in history and, before he had earned his BA degree, published his first title, The Resource Guide for the War of 1812, in 1979. With the advent of computerization, work became scarce in the field of animation and John concentrated on academic studies. Following the award of a BA degree from UCLA in 1980, he obtained several more university degrees in library science and education, culminating in a Ph.D. in history which he received from Providence College, Rhode Island, in 1993. John was a prolific author and wrote or compiled at least 35 titles ranging in subject matter from model airplanes to dinosaurs. Some of his books were Chronology of American History, The B-45 Tornado: An Operational History of the First American Jet Bomber; Civil War Almanac; Men into Space; Fighting Elites: A History of the U.S.

(May 2004) David James Stewart, B.A., Baylor University; M.A., Texas A&M University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Sylvia A. Grider Dr. Kevin J. Crisman Nautical archaeology has made remarkable advances since its inception half a century ago, but one area in need of more attention is the examination of cultural aspects of seafaring. This dissertation advances understanding of eighteenth- through early-twentieth century British and American maritime culture by exploring traditional memorialization practices. Interpretations are based primarily on analysis of 412 maritime memorials recorded during two archaeological surveys in Great Britain and the United States. In addition, primary accounts from the Age of Sail are utilized to place maritime memorialization into its proper cultural and historical context.
