Two major structural refits under present ownership since 2010 leave this handsome and proven schooner a long way from retirement sitting at a dock as another pretty face. In fact her 2019 summer cruise was 6200 miles from Mexico back to the Maine waters of her birth, and taking part in three regattas once there, proving just what a capable and seaworthy family passagemaker DIRIGO II is – still doing exactly what she was conceived for by John G Alden in 1939. • SANDEM AN YACHT COMPANY • • Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts • www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk © Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2021.

  • Crown V. Susannah North Martin Court of the County of Essex, Colony of Massachusetts Salem, Year of Our Lord 1692
    Crown v. Susannah North Martin Court of the County of Essex, Colony of Massachusetts Salem, Year of Our Lord 1692 Case Description and Brief Susannah Martin was born in Buckinghamshire, England in 1621. She was the fourth daughter, and youngest child, of Richard North and Joan (Bartram) North. Her mother died when she was a young child, and her father remarried a woman named Ursula Scott. In 1639, at the age of 18, Susannah and her family came to the United States, settling in Salisbury, Massachusetts. Richard North, a highly respected man, was listed as one of the first proprietors and founders of Salisbury On August 11, 1646, Susannah, now 24, married the widower George Martin, a blacksmith. Making their home in Salisbury, the couple had a loving marriage, that produced nine children, one of which died in infancy. Prosperous in business, George and Susannah became one of the largest landholders of the region. George died in 1686, leaving Susannah a widow. After her husband’s death she managed his estate and lands with acumen and talent. As a young woman she was known for her exceptional beauty. Descriptions of Susanna say that she was short, active, and of remarkable personal neatness. She was also said to be very outspoken, contemptuous of authority, and defiant in the face of challenge. Due to her attractiveness and family’s prosperity, she had been the target of jealous slander, which had followed her for years, all of which had been proven unfounded. In January 1692, a a group of young girls began to display bizarre behavior in nearby Salem, Massachusetts.

  • Salem Witch Trials Describe Darkest Era in American History
    Salem Witch Trials describe darkest era in American history Vida Bikales & The Barn Players By Bob Evans Arthur Miller’s tragic, gloomy, Gothic-inspired tale of witchcraft, lechery, murder, and blind religious justice–with a huge dose of ignorance– spelled the darkest days of American history when New England towns succumbed to a frenzied idea that witches walked among them, thereby creating public executions of persons accused of contracting with the devil. The most famous American trials befell the town of Salem, Massachusetts, immortalized in Miller’s “The Crucible,” now playing at The Barn Playhouse in Mission, Kansas. Troubling, dark and dismal from the opening scenes, “The Crucible” only spirals deeper and darker with each scene as the story of adolescent girls pretend to summon evil spirits, dance naked, and drink chicken blood to cast spells on innocent townsfolk, causing the hangings of 19 “guilty” witches in their small town. Only decades after Miller’s work played world stages did the State of Massachusetts amend their judgments and pardon those accused and murdered as witches. Vida Bikales & The Barn Players “The Crucible” at The Barn carves the story into the hearts of the audience so thoroughly and completely. Do not expect levity in this show because there is none. Miller researched the actual Salem court records and used much of the testimony verbatim in crafting his play. Even with the focus on one particular family, the devastation created continues to create shivers when viewed. Luckily, Salem preserved their historic blunder and some cells that held the accused remain intact. Some chains remain attached to walls, and “The Crucible” and other such plays continue there for tourists who visit America’s most horrid injustices.

  • The Case of Elizabeth Howe
    Walton 1 Claire Walton HIST 2090 29 November 2017 Final Paper A Pious Woman Condemned by Rumor, Church, and Court: The Case of Elizabeth Howe “Though shee wer condemned before men shee was Justefyed befor god”1 -Goody Safford Prior to the year 1682, Goody Elizabeth Howe enjoyed a reputation defined by piety, honesty, and neighborliness. Two distinct disputes in 1682 would come together ten years later during the Salem witch crisis to place Elizabeth’s life in mortal peril. A “faling [out]” between Samuel Perley and the Howes preceded fits suffered by Samuel’s daughter, who reportedly identified Elizabeth as her tormentor. Although ministerial accounts contested Elizabeth’s culpability, rumors spread and stained Elizabeth’s holy reputation. Her rejection from the Ipswich Church approximately two or three years later, informed by the rumor of witchcraft and other reports from neighbors, exacerbated suspicion, as those involved in the church’s decision attributed maleficium to Elizabeth.2 The second dispute occurred on June 14, 1682, the same year Samuel Perley’s daughter first reported afflictions. The Topsfield men, Thomas Baker, Jacob Towne, and John Howe, Elizabeth’s brother-in-law, challenged John Putnam of Salem Village over his claim to land along the Ipswich River. This dispute pitted the Howe family against the Putnam family, a driving force behind the Salem witch trials of 1692. Ultimately, Elizabeth’s reputation of witchcraft coupled with her relationship to John Howe and by extension association with the Putnam land dispute influenced her conviction as a witch. Although numerous individuals 1 Bernard Rosenthal, et al., eds., Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2009), 341 (Hereafter RSWH).

  • Ann Putnam's Confession (1706) Ann Putnam Was One of the Accusers in the 1692 Salem Witch Trials, Eventually Claiming That 62 Members of the Community Were Witches
    Ann Putnam's Confession (1706) Ann Putnam was one of the accusers in the 1692 Salem Witch Trials, eventually claiming that 62 members of the community were witches. She was 12 years old at the time. As a result of the claims of Putnam and others in Salem Village, 19 people were executed for being witches. In addition, another accused individual was executed for refusing to submit to a trial, and several others died while in prison awaiting trial or execution. The trials were widely publicized at the time, and they continue to capture public attention through modern representations of the events, such as Arthur Miller’s 1953 play, The Crucible. Significantly, Putnam was the only accuser who issued a public confession, which is reproduced below. Note: “Goodwife” was used much as we use the titles “Miss” or “Mrs.” today. “Goodwife Nurse” was Rebecca Nurse, one of the women she accused of witchcraft. "I desire to be humbled before God for that sad and humbling providence that befell my father's family in the year about '92; that I, then being in my childhood, should, by such a providence of God, be made an instrument for the accusing of several persons of a grievous crime, whereby their lives were taken away from them, whom now I have just grounds and good reason to believe they were innocent persons; and that it was a great delusion of Satan that deceived me in that sad time, whereby I justly fear I have been instrumental, with others, though ignorantly and unwittingly, to bring upon myself and this land the guilt of innocent blood; though what was said or done by me against any person I can truly and uprightly say, before God and man, I did it not out of any anger, malice, or ill-will to any person, for I had no such thing against one of them; but what I did was ignorantly, being deluded by Satan.

  • Perjurium Maleficis: the Great Salem Scapegoat
    Perjurium Maleficis: The Great Salem Scapegoat by Alec Head The Salem Witch Trials, often heralded as a sign of a religious community delving too deep into superstition, were hardly so simple. While certainly influenced by religion, the trials drew upon numerous outside elements. Though accusations were supposedly based in a firm setting of religious tradition, an analysis of individual stories—such as those of Rebecca Nurse, John Alden, and George Burroughs—shows that the accused were often targeted based on a combination of either fitting the existing image of witches, personal feuds, or prior reputations. The Puritans of Salem considered themselves to be “God’s chosen people,” building a new land, a heaven on earth.1 As with many endeavors in the New World, the Puritans faced innumerable struggles and hardships; their path would never be an easy one. However, rather than accepting their hurdles through a secular perspective, the Puritans viewed matters through a theological lens to explain their difficulties. While other, non-Puritan colonies faced similar challenges, the Puritans took the unique stance that they lived in a “world of wonders,” in which God and Satan had hands in the daily lives of humanity.2 In effect, this led to desperate—eventually deadly— searches for scapegoats. Upon his arrival in Salem, Reverend Samuel Parris publicly insisted that the hardships were neither by chance nor mere human hand. After all, if they were God’s chosen people, any opposition must have been instigated by the devil.3 Satan would not simply content himself with individual attacks. Rather, Parris insisted, grand conspiracies were formed by diabolical forces to destroy all that the Puritans built.

V. B. PERLEY, Publisher 1911 OPYBIGHT, 1911 By M. V. B. PERLEY Saeem, Mass. nJtrt^ BOSTON 1911 NOTICE Greater Salem, the province of Governors Conant and Endicott, is visited by thousands of sojourners yearly. They come to study the Quakers and the witches, to picture the manses of the latter and the stately mansions of Salem's commercial kings, and breathe the salubrious air of "old gray ocean." The witchcraft "delusion" is generally the first topic of inquiry, and the earnest desire of those people with notebook in hand to aid the memory in chronicling answers, suggested this monograph and urged its publication. There is another cogent reason: the popular knowledge is circumscribed and even that needs correcting. This short history meets that earnest desire; it gives the origin, growth, and death of the hideous monster; it gives dates, courts, and names of places, jurors, witnesses, and those hanged; it names and explains certain "men and things" that are concomitant to the trials, with which the reader may not be conversant and which are necessary to the proper setting of the trials in one's mind; it compasses the salient features of witchcraft history, so that the story of the 1692 "delusion" may be garnered and entertainingly rehearsed.
