  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • HSRP ACMS Paper FINAL
    Hydrographic Services Review Panel Federal Advisory Committee Recommendations to NOAA for the Implementation Plan for the Alaska Coastal Mapping Strategy Prepared by the NOAA Hydrographic Services Review Panel Federal Advisory Committee NOAA HSRP Public Meeting, September 23-24, 2020 1 Hydrographic Survey Review Panel (HSRP) Recommendations to NOAA on the Implementation Plan for the Alaska Coastal Mapping Strategy (ACMS) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The HSRP supported all goals and objectives of the Alaska Coastal Mapping Strategy and prepared a detailed whitepaper with recommendations for NOAA’s Implementation Plan for mapping the intertidal zone. The paper was authored by HSRP members with expertise in coastal mapping and was discussed and approved at the HSRP public meeting on September 23-24, 2020. For coastal mapping of Alaska, major recommendations were prioritized as follows: 1. To fill major gaps in the National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) in Alaska and to make NOAA’s Vertical Datum Transformation Tool (VDatum) operational throughout all of Alaska, use alternative lower cost systems for acquiring tidal data and establishing tidal datums in Alaska, using the NOAA Tidal Analysis Datums Calculator that enables partners to compute tidal datums themselves using CO-OPS methodologies and their data which may not be collected to NOAA’s most rigorous NWLON standards. At a minimum, users must be able to predict high and low tides throughout Alaska. 2. Use NOAA’s Water Clarity Climatology Tool for predicting times and locations when waters are clearest for topobathymetric lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) and satellite- derived bathymetry (SDB) – technologies that are ineffective when waters are too turbid.

  • BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Navigation and Piloting
    BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Navigation and Piloting Captain John A. Henriques BCH 16114.3 December 2017 John Ashcroft Henriques John Ashcroft Henriques was one of the most important Revenue Cutter Service officers of the 19th century. As founder and first superintendent of the Revenue Cutter Service School of Instruction, forerunner of the modern Coast Guard Academy, he was arguably the most important figure in educating Service officers in seamanship and navigation. Henriques began his career in March 1863. The next three years proved hectic ones, beginning with a tour on the James C. Dobbin, a sailing cutter that played a part in his later career and brief assignments as a junior officer on board cutters Crawford, Northerner and John Sherman. In less than five years, Henriques received promotions from third lieutenant to the rank of captain. This rapid rise testified to Henriques’ seafaring experience and command presence. Shortly after the Civil War, a journalist commented, “Captain Henriques is thoroughly posted and every inch a sailor [journalist’s italics] and a gentleman, as is well known to all who have made his acquaintance.” Captain Henriques saw a lot of sea time in the Atlantic, Pacific, rounding Cape Horn, and in Alaskan waters. In the decade following the War, he commanded four ocean-going cutters, including the Reliance. As captain of Reliance, he sailed from the East Coast around hazardous Cape Horn to San Francisco. The voyage began August 1867 and included eight brutal days of gale-force winds and heavy seas while the 110-foot topsail schooner slugged her way around “the Horn.” A few months after Reliance arrived in San Francisco, Henriques sailed for Alaska, becoming one of the first cutter captains to serve in the treacherous waters of that territory, and the first one to enforce U.S.
