Our lead story comes from frequent contributor Chris Baer, who writes a swashbuckling narrative of two of the Vineyard’s most adventur- ous, daring — and quirky — characters, George Cleveland and George Fred Tilton, whose arctic legacies continue to this day. Our second story came about when Florence Obermann Cross suggested to a gathering of old friends that they write down their childhood memories of shared summers on the Lagoon. The result is a collective recollection of cottages without electricity or water; good neighbors; artistic and intellectual inspiration; sailing, swimming and long-gone open views. This is a slice of Oak Bluffs history beyond the more well-known Cottage City and Campground stories. Finally, the Museum’s chief curator, Bonnie Stacy, has reminded us that 75 years ago the ’38 hurricane, the mother of them all, was unannounced and deadly, even here on Martha’s Vineyard. — Susan Wilson, editor THE DUKES COUNTY INTELLIGENCER VOL. 55, NO. 1 © 2013 WINTER 2013 Left Behind: George Cleveland, George Fred Tilton and the Last Whaler to Hudson Bay by Chris Baer ......................................................................................

  • Patrick "Rediron" Mccormick Memoir
    DEEP FREEZE I AND DEEP FREEZE II, 1955 - 1957 A MEMOIR BY Patrick “Rediron” McCormick INTRODUCTION I am very proud and consider myself privileged to have taken part in Operation Deep Freeze I which occurred nearly a lifetime ago. This memoir is intended to convey my personal observations and involvement in that adventure. I have concentrated on the life and efforts at McMurdo Station and The South Pole Station because I was a Seabee and that’s where I was. McMurdo Station was then known as Williams Air Operating Facility (WilliamsAIROPFAC), The South Pole Station is now known as Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Those stations were and are commonly referred to as McMurdo and The Pole. Although I have entitled this my memoir, it really is the memoir of all ninety-three members of the 1956 McMurdo Station winter-over party, the finest group of men I have ever been associated with. This memoir would not be possible without having access to the Narrative Log Williams Air Operating Facility McMurdo Sound, Antarctica as written by LCDR David W. Canham Jr., USNR and Robert L. Chaudoin, YN1, USN and the South Pole Station Daily Narrative commencing October 13,1956, and ending January 20,1957, as written by LTJG Richard A. Bowers, CEC, USN. Both documents are available and can be viewed on The Antarctican Society website. According to proper U. S. Navy protocol all officers below the rank of Commander are addressed as Mister followed by their last name. Mr. Canham, the Officer in Charge at McMurdo Station, and Mr.

    RADM DUFEK was feeling considerably better and appeared to have completely regained his health. VX-6Õs R5D was scheduled some five times during the day for departure, but the strong winds and low blowing scud clouds caused cancellation each time. In spite of the strong winds, the temperatures crept above the freezing mark for the first time, reaching an official figure of plus thirty-three. The low as plus nineteen. During the peak of the storm, the damaged C-124 slipped off of its wooden pilings and is once again resting on its nose. Air Force personnel made a routine inspection and did not think that much additional damage had been done. They desire to have it moved into its new position (some hundred feet ahead of where it is now) by November 25th. A message received from Little America indicates that they are not thinking in possible terms of building a substitute BYRD STATION by airdrop if the trail does not work out, a situation which now appears to be quite likely. The BEARDMORE group reported all its items retrieved now from the airdrop and 2700 gallons of AvGas left. The Sno-kitten is running and they have been able to drag the airstrip and state that it has been improved some sixty percent. The Officer-CPO meeting in the evening discussed the coming weekÕs principle items of work which included a camp cleanup, installation of the torque converter engine in the second D-8 and the initial completion of all the runway facilities. Message authority from BuPers was received to have LTJG TUCK report to the Commanding Officer, Mobile Construction Battalion (Special) for duty involving flying as a technical observer, such orders to terminate on June 30, 1957 or earlier.

  • United States Antarctic Activities 2002-2003
    United States Antarctic Activities 2002-2003 This site fulfills the annual obligation of the United States of America as an Antarctic Treaty signatory to report its activities taking place in Antarctica. This portion details planned activities for July 2002 through June 2003. Modifications to these plans will be published elsewhere on this site upon conclusion of the 2002-2003 season. National Science Foundation Arlington, Virginia 22230 November 30, 2002 Information Exchange Under United States Antarctic Activities Articles III and VII(5) of the ANTARCTIC TREATY Introduction Organization and content of this site respond to articles III(1) and VII(5) of the Antarctic Treaty. Format is as prescribed in the Annex to Antarctic Treaty Recommendation VIII-6, as amended by Recommendation XIII-3. The National Science Foundation, an agency of the U.S. Government, manages and funds the United States Antarctic Program. This program comprises almost the totality of publicly supported U.S. antarctic activities—performed mainly by scientists (often in collaboration with scientists from other Antarctic Treaty nations) based at U.S. universities and other Federal agencies; operations performed by firms under contract to the Foundation; and military logistics by units of the Department of Defense. Activities such as tourism sponsored by private U.S. groups or individuals are included. In the past, some private U.S. groups have arranged their activities with groups in another Treaty nation; to the extent that these activities are known to NSF, they are included. Visits to U.S. Antarctic stations by non-governmental groups are described in Section XVI. This document is intended primarily for use as a Web-based file, but can be printed using the PDF option.

  • Fifty Years of Mccall Glacier Research: from the International Geophysical Year 1957–58 to the International Polar Year 2007–08
    ARCTIC VOL. 60, NO. 1 (MARCH 2007) InfoNorth Fifty Years of McCall Glacier Research: From the International Geophysical Year 1957–58 to the International Polar Year 2007–08 by Gunter Weller, Matt Nolan, Gerd Wendler, Carl Benson, Keith Echelmeyer and Norbert Untersteiner INTRODUCTION McCall Glacier, located in the eastern Brooks Range of northern Alaska (Fig. 1), has the longest and most com- plete history of scientific research of any glacier in the U.S. Arctic. Spanning the period from the International Geophysical Year (IGY) in 1957–58 to the Fourth Inter- national Polar Year (IPY) in 2007–08, this research has resulted in perhaps the best record of recent climate change and its impacts in this region of the Arctic. Creation of this record played a major role in the lives of numerous people associated with the Arctic Institute of North America and the Universities of Alaska and Washington. This essay attempts to document the history of research on the gla- cier, as well as the evolution of research logistics there, through personal anecdotes from some of the scientists involved. McCall Glacier today is about 6.5 km2 in area and faces mostly north, towards the tundra and the Arctic Ocean coast near Barter Island, Alaska, not far from the Yukon border. The Dictionary of Alaska Place Names (Orth, 1967:607) lists the glacier as follows: McCall Glacier: glacier, heads on Mt. Hubley in Romanzov Mts., trends N 5 mi. to its terminus at head of McCall Creek, 10 mi. E of Mt. Michelson, Brooks Ra.; 69˚20' N; 143˚49' W.
