Well preserved by the Great Lakes’ cold, fresh water, the shipwreck sits upright at a depth of 185 feet. Built in 1856 in Black River, Ohio (now Lorain), KYLE SPANGLER is a distinctive type of Great Lakes sailing craft known as a “canaller,” and retains its distinctive, boxy hull form. As a result, this site constitutes one of the best preserved examples of this vessel type within the Great Lakes. In outward appearance, the 130-foot-long sailing vessel looks much the same today as it did after coming to rest on the lake bottom in 1860. The wooden hull is nearly completely intact, save for collision damage at the starboard bow that has not, however, precipitated any loss in overall integrity. Both masts are still standing, with booms, gaffs and associated rigging having fallen to the deck or lake bottom. The deck cabin’s outer structure is intact, as is the vessel’s wheel, windlass, centerboard winch and bilge pumps. Most impressively, the vessel’s carved wooden nameboard is still affixed to the stern quarter and remains legible. Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Schooner KYLE SPANGLER Shipwreck Site Presque Isle, Michigan Name of Property County and State SETTING The Great Lakes and their connecting waterways provide a natural highway extending over a thousand miles into the heart of North America. For centuries before European contact, these inland seas and tributaries served as important lines of trade and communication for Native Americans. Within the past 300 years, these waters have been further exploited by Euro- Americans and have greatly contributed to the economic and cultural growth of North America; waterborne transport on the Great Lakes played a crucial role in the exploration, settlement, and industrialization of the region. The treacherous waters along Michigan’s northeastern shoreline in Lake Huron have claimed nearly 200 ships. The oldest known shipwreck took place in 1849, while the most recent shipwreck occurred in 1966. Intense weather patterns, islands and rocky shoals, and heavy vessel traffic and converging shipping lanes all contributed to the area’s vast collection of shipwrecks. These submerged archaeological sites form nearly a complete collection of Great Lakes vessel types from small schooners and pioneer steamboats of the 1830s, to enormous industrial bulk carriers that supported the Midwest’s heavy industries during the twentieth century. Among the wrecks in and around the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary are those vessels that carried immigrants and pioneers traveling west for new homes, schooners carrying Midwestern grain and lumber, passengers and package freight steamers, and evolving generations of bulk freighters specially designed to carry iron ore, coal, grain, cement, and other bulk commodities. They are evidence of the Great Lakes’ pervasive influence in regional and national history, and capture the cultural, personal, environmental, technological and economic aspects of maritime history. Finally, this collection of shipwrecks reflects the movement, bravery, tenacity and innovative spirit of generations of maritime people. This is the broad context within which the schooner KYLE SPANGLER – and thousands of schooners like it – sailed. On November 5, 1860, the KYLE SPANGLER worked its way south on Lake Huron, fully loaded with 15,000 bushels of corn bound from Chicago to Buffalo. In the dimly lit early morning hours off Presque Isle, Michigan, the up-bound schooner RACINE appeared without warning along a collision course, tearing into SPANGLER’S starboard

MeDuffle Agriculture Handbook No. 173 Agricultural Research Service UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE \ I PRECAUTIONS WITH INSECTICIDES All insecticides are potentially hazardous to fish or other aqpiatic organisms, wildlife, domestic ani- mals, and man. The dosages needed for mosquito control are generally lower than for most other insect control, but caution should be exercised in their application. Do not apply amounts in excess of the dosage recommended for each specific use. In applying even small amounts of oil-insecticide sprays to water, consider that wind and wave action may shift the film with consequent damage to aquatic life at another location. Heavy applications of insec- ticides to ground areas such as in pretreatment situa- tions, may cause harm to fish and wildlife in streams, ponds, and lakes during runoff due to heavy rains. Avoid contamination of pastures and livestock with insecticides in order to prevent residues in meat and milk. Operators should avoid repeated or prolonged contact of insecticides with the skin. Insecticide con- centrates may be particularly hazardous. Wash off any insecticide spilled on the skin using soap and water. If any is spilled on clothing, change imme- diately. Store insecticides in a safe place out of reach of children or animals. Dispose of empty insecticide containers. Always read and observe instructions and precautions given on the label of the product. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Agriculture Handbook No.

The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.

    Door County Comprehensive and Farmland Preservation Plan 2035: Volume II, Resource Report CHAPTER 3: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 16 | Chapter 3: Historical and Cultural Resources Door County Comprehensive and Farmland Preservation Plan 2035: Volume II, Resource Report INTRODUCTION This chapter begins by briefly discussing Door County’s “community character,” which is intertwined with many of the county’s historical and cultural resources. It then provides a brief history of the county’s residents and its development, followed by an inventory of the historical resources in Door County. Included are discussion of the county’s historical associations; the area’s maritime history and maritime museums, lighthouses, and shipwrecks; general museums; archaeological sites; sites on the state and/or federal historic registries; and cemeteries. Finally, this chapter provides an inventory of cultural resources, such as cultural organizations, educational and cultural opportunities, visual and performing arts groups and venues, and festivals. COMMUNITY CHARACTER Community character is defined by a variety of sometimes intangible factors, including the people living in the area, the visual character of the area, and the quality of life and experiences offered to residents and visitors. Door County’s community character was ranked as either the county’s highest or second- highest asset during the public input exercises conducted at the county-wide visioning sessions held between 2006 and 2007. As is evidenced by the lists below of responses from residents at those visioning meetings, all aspects of community character – the people, the visual attributes, and the general quality of life as well as the county’s specific historical and cultural resources – define or exemplify life in Door County.

  • SEAFARING WOMEN: an Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships
    SEAFARING WOMEN: An Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships by R. Laurel Seaborn April, 2014 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies ABSTRACT During the 19th century, women went to sea on sailing ships. Wives and family accompanied captains on their voyages from New England. They wrote journals and letters that detailed their life on board, adventures in foreign ports, and feelings of separation from family left behind. Although the women kept separate from the sailors as class and social status dictated, they contributed as nannies, nurses and navigators when required. Examination of the historical documents, ship cabin plans, and photos of those interiors, as well as looking at surviving ships, such as the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, provided evidence of the objects women brought and used on board. The investigation from a gendered perspective of the extant material culture, and shipwreck site reports laid the groundwork for finding potential archaeological diagnostics of women living on board.
