INKSHERDS August 2016 Page 2 The Search for the Delaware Breakwater Quarantine Station Cemetery, Cape Henlopen State Park by John P. McCarthy, RPA, Delaware State Parks On June 26 th a band of intrepid ASD members/Time Traveler volunteers conducted an archaeological investigation at the suspected site of the cemetery at the Delaware Breakwater Quarantine Station. The Station was established in 1884 to interdict incoming shipping and screen passengers and crew for infectious disease. By 1886 the facilities at the Station reportedly included a crematory and a “graveyard” located 1,000 feet inland from the shore. While fieldwork and historic and contemporary maps and aerial photographs have allowed us to identify and locate many of the facilities of the Station, which occupied a 40-acre site to the east of the existing fishing pier, the location of the graveyard or cemetery remains a mystery, and the presence of a crematory suggested that there might not be much of a cemetery to find. However, this note from the June 28, 1893 Treasury Department Abstract of Sanitary Reports suggests that perhaps not all the diseased may have been cremated: Figure 1. 1910 U.S.C.G.S. map with the suspected cemetery circled. DELAWARE BREAKWATER QUARANTINE, July 26. 1893. American schooner Hannah McLoon arrived yesterday from Havana and Matanzas with the body of the captain on board, who died from yellow fever. Five other cases on voyage, all recovered. I buried the captain ashore. H. D. GEDDINGS, Assistant Surgeon, M.H.S. A map of the Station from 1910 suggested the site of the cemetery (Figure 1). A open square shape is located 1,000 feet inland while the buildings are shown as solid black shapes. During reconnaissance investigations conducted this past March, the corners of the buildings show on historic maps and aerial photos were marked using high-precision GPS, including three of the four corners of the open rectangle suspected of being the cemetery. Figure 2 shows the location of the suspected cemetery on a 2007 aerial photograph from Google Earth. On June 1 st Dr. Raymond Jefferis of Widener University and I conducted a metal detector survey of the suspected cemetery. We used his experimental 20-inch coil and found several metal objects of unknown function along the western edge of the area we examined (Figures 3 and 4). These were reburied on site. Due to disturbance evident in the field as push piles of sand and pavement affecting much of the eastern half of the suspected cemetery location, test units were spaced along the more western side of the site Figure 2. Location of the Suspected Cemetery (Figure 5). Three five-foot square tests were excavated and the project team was initially thrilled to find numerous heavily rusted nails and clear So, what did we actually find? I was completely puzzled and I took glass fragments in two of the units. We were all, however, shocked to another look at the aerial photo, Figure 1, and noticed a large rectangle of come down on cement slabs under a foot or more of sand in those two light colored sand. While this area is lightly wooded, its regular shape was test units, 15 feet apart from each other (Figure 6). suspicious. A conversation with George Content, State Park’s resident historian and living data base, revealed the answer. He told me, “Oh, sure, that’s where the rec hall used to be. We had to tear it down back in the late 70s.” Sure enough, in a search though the records State Parks HAVE AN ITEM FOR INKSHERDS has for Fort Miles I found an oblique, aerial photograph from 1970 showing that building covering much of the suspected cemetery (Figure ? 7).

If only I had looked at the 2007 aerial more closely and considered what that rectangle of light sand that can be seen in Figure 1 was trying to tell me!

  • Underground Railroad Byway Delaware
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 3.0 Intrinsic Resource Assessment The following Intrinsic Resource Assessment chapter outlines the intrinsic resources found along the corridor. The National Scenic Byway Program defines an intrinsic resource as the cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural or scenic qualities or values along a roadway that are necessary for designation as a Scenic Byway. Intrinsic resources are features considered significant, exceptional and distinctive by a community and are recognized and expressed by that community in its comprehensive plan to be of local, regional, statewide or national significance and worthy of preservation and management (60 FR 26759). Nationally significant resources are those that tend to draw travelers or visitors from regions throughout the United States. National Scenic Byway CMP Point #2 An assessment of the intrinsic qualities and their context (the areas surrounding the intrinsic resources). The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway offers travelers a significant amount of Historical and Cultural resources; therefore, this CMP is focused mainly on these resource categories. The additional resource categories are not ignored in this CMP; they are however, not at the same level of significance or concentration along the corridor as the Historical and Cultural resources. The resources represented in the following chapter provide direct relationships to the corridor story and are therefore presented in this chapter. A map of the entire corridor with all of the intrinsic resources displayed can be found on Figure 6. Figures 7 through 10 provide detailed maps of the four (4) corridors segments, with the intrinsic resources highlighted. This Intrinsic Resource Assessment is organized in a manner that presents the Primary (or most significant resources) first, followed by the Secondary resources.

Box 778-800 Bay Road Dover, Delaware 19903 Prepared by Dovetail Cultural Resource Group 11905 Bowman Drive, Suite 502 Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401 Dovetail Job #18-081 November 2018 November 15, 2018 Mike Klein, Principal Investigator Date Dovetail Cultural Resource Group This page intentionally left blank ABSTRACT On behalf of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail) conducted a Phase I archaeological survey of proposed stormwater management ponds within the United States Route 13 (U.S. Route 13) Lochmeath Way to Puncheon Run Connector project in Kent County, Delaware. Although most of the widening and improvements will occur within the median and in the paved shoulders, the proposed stormwater ponds are located outside of the median and shoulder area. The current project involves archaeological survey of the proposed location of three stormwater management pond areas. The proposed location of the three stormwater management pond areas were designated, from south to north, Areas 1, 2, and 3. The goal of the investigations was to identify any archaeological sites or above-ground features associated with a site, such as building foundations, wells, etc., that may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within the project area. Dovetail completed a background literature and records review of the project vicinity at the Delaware State Historic Preservation Office (DE SHPO), as well as accessing the DE SHPO’s online Cultural and Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS).
