Among the passengers, most of whom were Amer­ icans, were three Englishwomen—Lady Franklin, the elderly widow of Admiral Sir John Franklin; her devoted middle-aged companion, Sophia Cracroft, a niece of the famous Arctic explorer; and Buckland, Lady Frank­ lin’s maid, whose other name was Sarah—three visitors to Hawaii from the England of Queen Victoria. On April 20, having been speeded by favorable trade winds, the Yankee lay off Oahu. “We made an excellent passage," wrote Miss Cracroft in her first letter from the Sandwich Islands, "reaching the anchorage outside Honolulu on the tenth day, late at night, in splendid moonlight.” It had been, on the whole, an uneventful voyage. At first Lady Franklin and Miss Cracroft had planned to remain in Hawaii for no more than a fortnight. But obviously they had not allowed for emergencies and possible delays. Neither had they much considered the insidious effect of Hawaiian hospitality. In any event, their tour through the Hawaiian Kingdom of a hundred years ago stretched to more than two full months—to a total of sixty-six days. Almost half that period the ladies spent in the capital city, Honolulu. Thanks to the native sovereign, King Kamehameha IV, they also enjoyed four weeks as guests of the nation, with all expenses paid, during a sight-seeing trip to Hilo, the volcanic region of Mauna Loa, and the Kona Coast of the Island of Hawaii. Later, as guests of Robert Crichton Wyllie, the chivalrous Scotsman who was Kamehameha IV’s minister of foreign relations, they made a second excursion, this time to Wyllie’s Princeville Plantation in Hanalei Valley on Kauai. When Lady Franklin and Miss Cracroft sailed on the Comet for San Francisco on June 25, 1861, it was therefore with feelings of satisfaction mixed with regret that they waved their farewells to “a country which has taken a firm hold upon our affections as well as our interest.” At the mo­ ment of parting, they fully believed that they would never forget the group of small subtropical islands in the middle of the Pacific where they had spent two of the most delightful months of their lives. And, in fact, for the next five years, from 1861 to 1866, their enthusiasm persisted. In con­ versation no less than in letters and journals they often spoke fondly of Hawaii, its scenery and people—"the exquisite sunsets, cocoanut trees and natives’ houses . the intense blue of the sea, the black coastline with the ever-changing fountains of snowy spray”: that gentle land, with its pecul­ iarly civilized "repose” (Miss Cracroft’s own word), where native Hawaiians 3 and foreign settlers alike, including even Yankee missionaries, had wel­ comed the world travelers with almost royal honors. Fortunately, Lady Franklin and Miss Cracroft each kept records of their Hawaiian experiences. “The Island Kingdom,’’ the first part of this book, is largely made up of the journal letters of Sophia Cracroft written in Hawaii between April and July, 1861, to her family in England. How­ ever, in the several introductory sections interspersed among the letters, I have also drawn liberally from the useful but rather disorganized and scrappy Sandwich Islands Journal of Lady Franklin. In “The Flight of the Chiefs,” the second and concluding part, the narrative continues with some of the same persons but in another hem­ isphere, The Prince of Hawaii, the small son of Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, is dead; so is his father the King, at the age of twenty-nine, Emma’s "dearest Alex,” in whom Lady Franklin and Miss Cracroft believed they had found "one of the most gifted ancl remarkable men to be met with anywhere.” These, then, were some of the changed circumstances when the widowed Queen Emma, in 1865 and 1866, made a widely publicized tour of England, France, Northern Italy, and Southern Germany. During Emma’s London sojourn she visited Lady Franklin and Miss Cracroft for a period of about four months at Upper Gore Lodge, Lady Franklin’s house in Kensington Gore, a district which in 1865 adjoined the open fields of Hyde Park and still bore traces of its eighteenth-century ms in nrbe air. Thus the two parts and their interrelated worlds, the Hawaiian episodes and their English and European aftermath, complement one another. The letters of Sophia Cracroft contain an account of the Hawaiian Islands in 1861 as seen through the eyes of an observant, traveled, sometimes satirical but by no means unromantic. and wholly detached English spinster of forty- five. In the later sections, where I have used materials from numerous Hawaiian sources, including recently discovered letters written by Emma in Europe, the English and French scenes are presented at least a part of the time from the point of view of the young Dowager Queen of the Sand­ wich Islands. In thus juxtaposing the impressions and attitudes of the English gentlewoman in Hawaii and the Hawaiian Queen in England and on the Continent, I did not intend simply to display in obvious relief cer­ tain national and racial differences. Sophia Cracroft and Queen Emma were both individuals, and their differences were stronger than race and wider than social background. Indeed, it may well be that their unlike­ ness lay in some mysterious depth of the feminine character not easily to be explored in a book which is purely historical. 4 The problem of Lady Franklin is another matter. Her fame as one of the numerous “representative” women of her time seems reasonably secure. By necessity she has figured prominently, as his second wife and devoted widow, in the biographies of her husband; and her own life as revealed in her voluminous journals has been depicted by Frances J. Woodward in a full-scale modern study, Portrait of Jane.1 If the reader is looking for a comprehensive, balanced account of Lady Franklin’s larger experience of her century in its entire panoramic scope, and not just the scherzo of the Sandwich Islands visit, he should know Miss Woodward’s book. For the important and difficult years when Sir John served as Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, with his wife a powerful but complicating influence never very far in the background, the indispensable source is Kathleen Fitzpatrick’s Sir John Franklin in Tasmania, 1837-1843.2 If what is required is a quick capsule of essential information, The Annual Register for the year 1875 has special interest inasmuch as its facts were supplied the obituarist by Miss Cracroft herself, who for thirty-five years had never been far from Lady Franklin’s side: Lady Franklin, the widow of the renowned Arctic explorer, died at her house in Phillimore Gardens on July 18, at the age of 83. Jane Franklin was the second daughter of John Griffin and his wife Mary, nee Guillemard, whose family took refuge in England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Her father was by habit a traveller, and this passion for travel descended to his daughter, who accompanied him in his yearly journeys through England and the Continent. In November 1828 she married Capt. Franklin, and between that date and 1844 she travelled with him in the East, in Van Diemen’s Land, to which her husband was appointed governor, and in New Zealand, and was the first lady who travelled overland from Melbourne to Sydney. A few months after their return Sir John was offered the command of the expedition to be sent to the Northwest Passage, and with Her Majesty’s ships Erebus and Terror he left England for the last time on May 18, 1845. In 1848 the anxiety which prevailed with regard to the expedition led to the formation of the search expeditions conducted by Sir John Richard­ son and Sir J. C. Ross. After the search by the Government had closed with the return of Sir Edward Belcher’s expedition in 1854, the communica­ tions made in the same year by the Esquimaux to Dr.

  • AMERICA's ANNEXATION of HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE
    A LUSCIOUS FRUIT: AMERICA’S ANNEXATION OF HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOSEPH A. FRY KARI FREDERICKSON LISA LIDQUIST-DORR STEVEN BUNKER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Becky L. Bruce 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the annexation of Hawaii was not the result of an aggressive move by the United States to gain coaling stations or foreign markets, nor was it a means of preempting other foreign nations from acquiring the island or mending a psychic wound in the United States. Rather, the acquisition was the result of a seventy-year relationship brokered by Americans living on the islands and entered into by two nations attempting to find their place in the international system. Foreign policy decisions by both nations led to an increasingly dependent relationship linking Hawaii’s stability to the U.S. economy and the United States’ world power status to its access to Hawaiian ports. Analysis of this seventy-year relationship changed over time as the two nations evolved within the world system. In an attempt to maintain independence, the Hawaiian monarchy had introduced a westernized political and economic system to the islands to gain international recognition as a nation-state. This new system created a highly partisan atmosphere between natives and foreign residents who overthrew the monarchy to preserve their personal status against a rising native political challenge. These men then applied for annexation to the United States, forcing Washington to confront the final obstacle in its rise to first-tier status: its own reluctance to assume the burdens and responsibilities of an imperial policy abroad.

  • From Bermuda Based Siege Vessel to Arctic Explorer
    From Bermuda based siege vessel to arctic explorer May 12, 2021 Not all ships earn fantastic stories filled with intrigue and mystery, in fact most ships live rather dull lives. However, the story of HMS Terror, is rich, lengthy, and tragically full of misfortune for her crew. From her early start as a siege vessel based out of Bermuda during the War of 1812 to her ill-fated polar expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage, the story of HMSTerror illustrates the evolving function of the Royal Navy and Bermuda’s role within that history. HMS Terror‘s story also connects two diametrically opposed locations: warm and sub- tropical Bermuda and the harsh climate of the arctic tundra. HMS Terror, Bermuda + Siege of Baltimore The Royal Naval Dockyard, which is now home to the National Museum of Bermuda, was a crucial location for the British Royal Navy’s control over the Atlantic in the 19th century, especially after the British lost their North American holdings during the American Revolution. Bermuda’s proximity to the North American East Coast made it the perfect staging location for the War of 1812. The Island was close enough to easily stage military campaigns against the US mainland while was also far enough to ensure that there was no threat of invasion from a then non-existent US Navy and provide a safe haven for the hundreds of ships and thousands of sailors to call home. In 1814 HMS Terror was established as an integral part of the fleet in Bermuda, where she participated in raids and sieges on American East Coast cities.

  • The Biography of Hon. Robert William Wilcox
    THE BIOGRAPHY OF HON. ROBERT WILLIAM WILCOX BY THOMAS K. NAKANAELA TRANSLATION AND INTRODUCTION BY NANCY J. MORRIS EDITED BY NIKLAUS R. SCHWEIZER Honolulu 1993 Translator’s Introduction The publication of Nakanaela's book coincided with a brief period of optimism for those who believed that Hawaiians should control their own affairs. Represented by the National Reform Party, Hawaiians running on a platform for native-rights had just succeeded in achieving an effective majority in the Hawaiian legislature and moreover had managed to turn out a domineering cabinet set in place by the 1887 “Bayonet Constitution.” For years this cabinet led by Lorrin Thurston had whittled away at the prestige and authority of the Hawaiian monarchy. Wilcox had his detractors, then as now, but few would argue that much of the credit for the achievements of the National Reform Party belongs to Wilcox. In 1890 he was the man of the moment. A complex mix of American, Hawaiian and Italian cultural values found expression in Wilcox's life. His father, William S. Wilcox, was a New Englander, a descendant of a patrician family from Tiverton, Devonshire, England, “British offsprings of the Teutonic race mixed with the ancient Roman blood from the time of Caesar,” according to the Wilcox genealogy.1 Two of the Tiverton clan immigrated to New England but later the elder, Daniel Wilcox, returned to England. The younger immigrant settled in Connecticut and his descendants spread through Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. The Wilcox clan of Kauaʻi founded by eighth missionary company member Abner Wilcox descended from the Connecticut branch of Wilcoxes.

  • Westminster Abbey ASERVICE to CELEBRATE the 60TH ANNIVERSARY of the CORONATION of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
    Westminster Abbey ASERVICE TO CELEBRATE THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Tuesday 4th June 2013 at 11.00 am FOREWORD On 2nd June 1953, the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II followed a pattern established over the centuries since William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. Our intention in this Service of Thanksgiving is to evoke and reflect the shape of the Coronation service itself. The Queen’s entrance was marked by the Choirs’ singing Psalm 122—I was glad—set to music for the Coronation of EdwardVII by Sir Hubert Parry. The Queen’s Scholars of Westminster School exercised their historic right to exclaim Vivat Regina Elizabetha! (‘Long live Queen Elizabeth!’); so it will be today. The coronation service begins with the Recognition. The content of this part of the service is, of course, not today what it was in 1953, but the intention is similar: to recognise with thanksgiving the dutiful service offered over the past sixty years by our gracious and noble Queen, and to continue to pray God saveThe Queen. The Anointing is an act of consecration, a setting apart for royal and priestly service, through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Ampulla from which the oil was poured rests today on the HighAltar as a reminder of that central act. St Edward’s Crown also rests today on the High Altar as a powerful symbol of the moment of Coronation. In today’s Service, a flask of Oil is carried by representatives of the people of the United Kingdom to the Sacrarium, received by theArchbishop and placed by the Dean on the High Altar.
