Pirate's Revenge Bath High School Preservation Newsletter Eighteenth Edition PIRATE’S REVENGE I appreciate the opportunity to once again serve as President of BHSP and to continue to be a part of this worthwhile organization. To the outgoing Board Members, Ricky Carawan, Becky Tuten and Margaret Ann Woolard, thank you for your hard work, support and continued participation. We welcome our new members to the Board, William Asa Waters, Gary Hollis and Dale Benson. Also, Ricky Carawan will continue serving on the board, completing the unexpired term for Jeannie Woolard. I am honored to serve with these Board members and the Officers, Vice President, Gerald Morris, Secretary, Claudia Alligood, Treasurer, June Lee, and Past President, Becky Tuten. In June we transferred ownership of the Northwest Wing (Office Wing) to the Historic Bath Foundation (HBF) for the purpose of a Museum to be completed by 2018. We look forward to supporting HBF in their monumental task of the restoration of the NW Wing. Thank you to everyone who has given their time, money, and tireless support as we continue to bring the original vision to fruition. There is still much to be done. It cannot be achieved without the continued support of our community and alumni. Our success depends on you! Ruth Webster Dorkin Northwest Wing Transferred to Historic Bath Foundation In June 2016 the Northwest Wing (office wing) of the old Bath High School building was transferred to the Historic Bath Foundation (HBF) for the purpose of renovating and establishing a museum. Negotiations first began in September 2010 between the boards of BHSP and HBF for Historic Bath Foundation to establish such a museum. A donation of $50,000 from HBF accompanied the agreement. A final agreement was reached in June 2016 and the property was transferred. Historic Bath Foundation has a commitment from the North Carolina Department of Natural & Cultural Resources to assist in the establishment of the museum. It will be an extension of the Historic Bath Visitors Site. President, Surry Everett shakes hand of Currently the Northwest Wing is busy with the activity of workmen, stabilizing the BHSP President, Ruth Dorkin wing and preparing for the renovations. There is excitement in seeing this activity. Our thanks go out to the Historic Bath Foundation. BHSP can now focus on the next phase of the building, namely the auditorium and getting the Gallery (Pirate Hall) up and operating. 2017 Board Meetings/Annual Membership Meeting Pirate Hall in Bath High School Building-7:00 p.m. Look inside for...

  • The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED from the CLOUDS
    The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS Chapter 1 "Are we rising again?" "No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!" "For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast!" "There! the last sack is empty!" "Does the balloon rise?" "No!" "I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us!" "Overboard with every weight! . everything!" Such were the loud and startling words which resounded through the air, above the vast watery desert of the Pacific, about four o'clock in the evening of the 23rd of March, 1865. Few can possibly have forgotten the terrible storm from the northeast, in the middle of the equinox of that year. The tempest raged without intermission from the 18th to the 26th of March. Its ravages were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia, covering a distance of eighteen hundred miles, and extending obliquely to the equator from the thirty-fifth north parallel to the fortieth south parallel. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, which the published accounts numbered by hundreds, whole districts leveled by waterspouts which destroyed everything they passed over, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its fury, left by this devastating tempest. It surpassed in disasters those which so frightfully ravaged Havana and Guadalupe, one on the 25th of October, 1810, the other on the 26th of July, 1825.

  • Outlyers: Maroons and Marronage in Eighteenth and Nineteenth-Century Literature
    Outlyers: Maroons and Marronage in Eighteenth and Nineteenth-Century Literature By Sarah Jessica Johnson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Stephen Best, Chair Professor Kathleen Donegan Professor Nadia Ellis Professor Karl Britto Spring 2018 1 Abstract Outlyers: Maroons and Marronage in Eighteenth and Nineteenth-Century Literature By Sarah Jessica Johnson Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Stephen Best, Chair My dissertation, “Outlyers: Maroons and Marronage in Eighteenth and Nineteenth-Century Literature,” foregrounds an archival pursuit in which recovery is deprioritized. Crucial to this study is an archival paradox: Maroons absented themselves from the printed record, eschewed the position of author, only to be figured and represented by others who, expectedly, struggled with the depiction of a practice they could not know firsthand. The intentional erasure of “traces” by maroons was necessary to the successful practice of marronage. The project is organized around four “maroon objects”—the portrait, the fetish, the epaulette, and the hatchet—that recur in historical representations concerning maroons. These maroon objects mediate maroon subject and text. My first chapter, “Maroon Portraits,” examines the circulating narratives of La Mulâtresse Solitude of Guadeloupe. Solitude sits for a portrait that is continuously painted, as artists insist on producing visual images in tension with the long textual record that precedes them. Chapter Two, “Maroon Fetishes,” reads the proliferation of fetishes in Le Macandal by Marie Augustin and other iterations of the story of Haitian Maroon leader François Macandal.

Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

  • Piratical Colonization: Piracy's Role in the First
    PIRATICAL COLONIZATION: PIRACY’S ROLE IN THE FIRST ENGLISH COLONIES, 1550-1600 by Austin F. Croom March, 2019 Director of Thesis: Wade G. Dudley Major Department: History This thesis analyzes the importance of piracy to the beginnings of English overseas expansion. This study will consider the piratical climate around the British Isles in the sixteenth century, and the ways in which this context affected the participants in the first English colonial projects. Piracy became inseparably associated with nearly all of the Elizabethan overseas expeditions, contributing experienced seamen to the cause and promising to fill gaps in the financial strength of the expeditions. Ultimately, piracy proved difficult to control, and sabotaged the efforts of the Elizabethan colonial promoters.

  • Going on the Account: Examining Golden Age Pirates As a Distinct
    GOING ON THE ACCOUNT: EXAMINING GOLDEN AGE PIRATES AS A DISTINCT CULTURE THROUGH ARTIFACT PATTERNING by Courtney E. Page December, 2014 Director of Thesis: Dr. Charles R. Ewen Major Department: Anthropology Pirates of the Golden Age (1650-1726) have become the stuff of legend. The way they looked and acted has been variously recorded through the centuries, slowly morphing them into the pirates of today’s fiction. Yet, many of the behaviors that create these images do not preserve in the archaeological environment and are just not good indicators of a pirate. Piracy is an illegal act and as a physical activity, does not survive directly in the archaeological record, making it difficult to study pirates as a distinct maritime culture. This thesis examines the use of artifact patterning to illuminate behavioral differences between pirates and other sailors. A framework for a model reflecting the patterns of artifacts found on pirate shipwrecks is presented. Artifacts from two early eighteenth century British pirate wrecks, Queen Anne’s Revenge (1718) and Whydah (1717) were categorized into five groups reflecting behavior onboard the ship, and frequencies for each group within each assemblage were obtained. The same was done for a British Naval vessel, HMS Invincible (1758), and a merchant vessel, the slaver Henrietta Marie (1699) for comparative purposes. There are not enough data at this time to predict a “pirate pattern” for identifying pirates archaeologically, and many uncontrollable factors negatively impact the data that are available, making a study of artifact frequencies difficult. This research does, however, help to reveal avenues of further study for describing this intriguing sub-culture.

Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, so at age seventeen, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young writers and painters.
