Schedule Reference t NON! Arrangement t Chronological Finding Aid prepared bye John R. Woodard Jr. Date t December 12, 1962 This volume was the result of a resolution (N.C. Acts, 1826-27, p.85) pa~sed by the General Assembly of North Carolina, Febuary 9, 1821. This resolution proposed that the Governor of North Carolina apply to the British government for permission to secure copies of documents relating to the Co- lonial history of North Carolina. This application was submitted through the United states Ninister to the Court of St. James, Albert Gallatin. Gallatin vas giTen permission to secure copies of documents relating to the Colonial history of North Carolina. Gallatin found documents in the Board of Trade Office and the "state Paper uffice" (which was the common depository for the archives of the Home, Foreign, and Colonial departments) and made a list of them.

John R. Woodard Jr. Date: December 14, 1962 The civil administration of the navy began with King John who appoint- ed a "Keeper of the King's Ships". During the reign of Henry VIII the navy was placed in charge of a separate department. The Navy Office was founded on April 24, 1546. During the middle of the sixteenth century the Admiralty vas eeparated into three distinct partSI the Lord High Admiralty, later the Admiralty Board, exercising executive and diliberative functions; the Navy Board, exercising civil and administrative functions; and the High Court of Admiralty, exercising judicial functions. From 1689-1782 the admiralty s,ystem consisted of an Admiralty Board, a Navy Board, and a series of lesser boards' and offices. The directive branch of the Admiralty shaped the policy of the govern- ment, generally under the direction of the King , by orders from the Privy Council or by orders from the Secr~tary of State. It controlled the move- ment of ships, corresponded with admirals, vice-admirals, captains, comman- _. ders, and lieutenants of squadrons, and after 1762 kept elaborate digests of letters from them. It made appointments and signed warrents, administered the oath and test to naval officers, granted protection from impress, furnished passes to merchant vessels, kept in touch with subordinate officers, watched OTer the Greenwitch Hospital, received reports from subordinate boards and in turn drafted memori8~s and resolutions to the Privy ~ouncil and Treasury. It authorized all issues of money for the upkeep of tbenavy and payment of ~ personnel, civilian and military. It was in close touch with the High Court of Admiralty and issued letters of marque, controlled the holdings of court- • martius, and had immediate supervision of the marines. The Secretary: Department of the Admiralty Board contains the corres- pondence, minutes of the Admiralty Board and miscellaneous items. The l-Iedicu Board was orbanized during the period of the Commonwealth but was permanently esttblished in 1140 to take care of sick and wounded seamen, superintend the medical stores supplied by the apothecary general for use by the navy, manage naval hospitals ashore and afloat, examine and appoint naval surgeons, and maintain and exchange prisoners of war. The board attended the Admiralty whene7er requested and took its orders only frCl1 the highest authority. The records of this department consists of packets of letters from surgeons and agents of the sick and wounded seamen, requests for food and medicine, reports of the Medical Board and hospit~ reports • The Registered Seamans Act required all mariners to contribute sixpence a month trom their wage. to 8upport the Greenwitch Hospital. This was exten- ded to the colonies. Receivers were appointed at each port and the Collectors • ot Custc.a were to deduct the amount from the wages ot the merchant marine • • ENGLISH RECORDS British Public Record OffIce -4 Henry Hulton was the principal Deputy Receiver of the sixpence duty in the .American colonies • .Volumes in this series contain accounts of receipts and collections made at the different ports.

  • An Historical Overviw of the Beaufort Inlet Cape Lookout Area of North
    by June 21, 1982 You can stand on Cape Point at Hatteras on a stormy day and watch two oceans come together in an awesome display of savage fury; for there at the Point the northbound Gulf Stream and the cold currents coming down from the Arctic run head- on into each other, tossing their spumy spray a hundred feet or better into the air and dropping sand and shells and sea life at the point of impact. Thus is formed the dreaded Diamond Shoals, its fang-like shifting sand bars pushing seaward to snare the unwary mariner. Seafaring men call it the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Actually, the Graveyard extends along the whole of the North Carolina coast, northward past Chicamacomico, Bodie Island, and Nags Head to Currituck Beach, and southward in gently curving arcs to the points of Cape Lookout and Cape Fear. The bareribbed skeletons of countless ships are buried there; some covered only by water, with a lone spar or funnel or rusting winch showing above the surface; others burrowed deep in the sands, their final resting place known only to the men who went down with them. From the days of the earliest New World explorations, mariners have known the Graveyard of the Atlantic, have held it in understandable awe, yet have persisted in risking their vessels and their lives in its treacherous waters. Actually, they had no choice in the matter, for a combination of currents, winds, geography, and economics have conspired to force many of them to sail along the North Carolina coast if they wanted to sail at all!¹ Thus begins David Stick’s Graveyard of the Atlantic (1952), a thoroughly researched, comprehensive, and finely-crafted history of shipwrecks along the entire coast of North Carolina.

  • Tar Kilns of Goose Creek State Park: History and Preservation
    Tar Kilns of Goose Creek State Park: History and Preservation by Matthew Harrup April, 2013 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: John Tilley Major Department: History Tar kilns are found throughout the Coastal Plain of North and South Carolina, remnants of a flourishing and important industry that exported tar across the Atlantic world. Tar production is the extraction of terpene from resinous trees by burning. In North Carolina, this was accomplished by burning or heavily resinous longleaf pine, also known as lightwood, in earthen kilns. The colonists encountered a unique forest suited to this purpose. This thesis explores the background of tar production in North Carolina though the context of the ecology of the longleaf forest, describes kiln preservation criteria, and makes the case that the kilns found in Goose Creek State Park form an important historical site as the vestiges of the plantation of Thomas Boyd, member of the Proprietor administration and Solicitor-General of the colony.
