She was condemned and sold in Boston on 21 August 1776. The newspaper announcement for her auction claimed she measured above 200 tons and was “a very swift sailing Brig, and well calculated for a Privateer.”1 She was purchased by William Davis, Philip Moore, Edward Edward Carnes, one Mercer and James Thompson and renamed Rising States . Davis, Carnes, and Thompson resided in Boston, Moore in Philadelphia, and Mercer in New 1 NDAR, “Advertisement of Sale of Three Scotch Transports,” 6:153 Comment on this or any page at our ©awiatsea.com-posted July 2020 --2-- York. 2 The New York interest was apparently owned by John R. Livingston, who owned one twelfth of her (£ 1503 worth). 3 Joseph Lunt was employed by the owners to supervise her outfit as a privateer. She received new sails, yards and rigging, eight carriage guns, twelve swivels and four cohorns, and two new boats. 4 She was commissioned as the 210-ton Massachusetts Privateer Brigantine Rising States on 18 October 1776 under Commander James Thompson (one of the co- owners) of Boston, Massachusetts. She is listed as being armed with twenty guns (by which is meant sixteen guns plus four cohorns) and as having a crew of 100 men. Her $10000 Continental bond was signed by Thompson and by William Davis and Samuel Allyne Otis, both of Boston. 5 Thompson was a native of Springfield, Massachusetts, born about 1750. From about 1763 he lived in Boston, where he married and had children. 6 Rising States was apparently nearly ready for sea by 28 December 1776. On that date Archibald Mercer, who had loaded three ships ( Mercer , Moore , Three Friends ) chartered by the Secret Committee of Congress, which were to sail from Boston to Virgina and take on cargoes of tobacco, and were now ready to sail, petitioned the Massachusetts Council for permission for the Rising States and the Massachusetts Privateer Brig Hancock (Commander Daniel McNeill) to escort them to sea, “it being unsafe for said Ships to proceed without them.” The Council referred this matter to a committee dealing with similar petitions. 7 Rising States was not, however, ready for sea. Thompson was trying to raise a crew for her and got into various sorts of trouble going about. Captain Hector McNeill of the Continental Navy Ship Boston had become convinced that Thompson had enlisted men who had deserted, or had at least, been members of, Boston ’s crew. McNeill complained to Massachusetts, and requested authority to search the privateer. 8 On 27 January 1777 the Massachusetts Council ordered Benjamin Cudworth of Boston appointed as “Water Bailiff” for the special purpose of inspecting the Rising States , “now within or near the Harbor of Boston.” He was to take into custody any of the deserters found. 9 2 NDAR, “Depositions of Lieutenant Joseph Lunt and Christopher Clark, Carpenter, Massachusetts Privateer Brigantine Rising States ,” 9:523-525.

The Massachusetts Council ordered Cudworth down to that place. On his way to Plymouth, Cudworth met Brigadier General James Warren. When Cudworth told warren of his mission, Warren stated that no such vessel was, or had been, at Plymouth. The two men An old painting of the Rising States leaving the North Battery on her cruise.

All three now went toward Boston and, night coming on, took lodgings in Hingham. Soon a coach arrived at the inn, and out got the sought for privateer commander, James Thompson, along with five recruits. Thompson “seem’d a little alarm’d” at seeing Cudworth and Palmes, but none of the recruits was known to Palmes, so Cudworth let them all pass. On the advice of Warren, Palmes rose early and proceeded to Plymouth, before Thompson and his men were about. 10 Meanwhile, having heard of recruits in Marblehead, McNeill sent two officers there. These men found the privateer’s Captain of Marines, Henry Fritze and the privateer’s carpenter, Josiah Martin, and nine men waiting to go aboard the Rising States . The brig was then, (28 January) laying off and on near Marblehead. The two officers from Boston applied to the local committee for help, and the committee interrogated Fritze and Martin, who only stated that they were bound on a cruise. No other help was forthcoming. 11 Rising States had indeed, sailed from Boston on 26 January. At her sailing she was said to be armed with eighteen 6-pounders and to have a crew of 180 men. 12 This certainly incorrect as 10 NDAR, “Captain Hector McNeill to the Massachusetts Council,” 7:1062-1063 11 NDAR, “Captain Hector McNeill to the Massachusetts Council,” 7:1062-1063 12 NDAR, “John R.

She evidently went up to Marblehead and picked up Fritze and Martin and the nine recruits. Later, Thompson stated he signed thirty men in Boston, and then went over to Cape Cod and enlisted an additional thirty- one there, making her crew up to sixty-one. 13 She sailed from Cape Cod on 29 February 1777. 14 Model of the Rising States , constructed during the late 18 th or early 19 th century. “It is thought to Rising States had a have been in the Trask family and given to the Essex Institute in 1860.” From The Marine Room miserable beginning of the Peabody Museum of Salem, Salem: Peabody Museum, 1921.

The log entry for 19 February states that the crew were “Numb’d with the Cold & Several much frost Bitten.” On that date she put about for Nantucket Island because of the cold weather. 15 The next day Cape Cod was sighted at 0700 and Nantucket Island at 1100. At 1300, trying to get into the harbor at Nantucket, Rising States ran aground and was “by the Violence of the wheather was Obligd to bare Away.” By afternoon an officers conference agreed it was best to bear away for Virginia “our men being Almost beat out,” the brig being encrusted with ice and most of the crew “badly Froze.”16 A warmer climate brought a rapid recovery and Rising States steered for European waters.

    ON 0UR DOORSTEP I MEMORIAM THE SECOD WORLD WAR 1939 to 1945 HOW THOSE LIVIG I SOME OF THE PARISHES SOUTH OF COLCHESTER, WERE AFFECTED BY WORLD WAR 2 Compiled by E. J. Sparrow Page 1 of 156 ON 0UR DOORSTEP FOREWORD This is a sequel to the book “IF YOU SHED A TEAR” which dealt exclusively with the casualties in World War 1 from a dozen coastal villages on the orth Essex coast between the Colne and Blackwater. The villages involved are~: Abberton, Langenhoe, Fingringhoe, Rowhedge, Peldon: Little and Great Wigborough: Salcott: Tollesbury: Tolleshunt D’Arcy: Tolleshunt Knights and Tolleshunt Major This likewise is a community effort by the families, friends and neighbours of the Fallen so that they may be remembered. In this volume we cover men from the same villages in World War 2, who took up the challenge of this new threat .World War 2 was much closer to home. The German airfields were only 60 miles away and the villages were on the direct flight path to London. As a result our losses include a number of men, who did not serve in uniform but were at sea with the fishing fleet, or the Merchant avy. These men were lost with the vessels operating in what was known as “Bomb Alley” which also took a toll on the Royal avy’s patrol craft, who shepherded convoys up the east coast with its threats from: - mines, dive bombers, e- boats and destroyers. The book is broken into 4 sections dealing with: - The war at sea: the land warfare: the war in the air & on the Home Front THEY WILL OLY DIE IF THEY ARE FORGOTTE.

  • History from Old Site
    I n the middle of the 19th century, following the introduction of competency exams in 1851, the need for pre-sea training was recognised for potential officers in the Royal and Merchant Navy. This led to a group of London ship owners founding the 'Thames Nautical Training College' in 1862. The Admiralty was approached for the loan of a suitable ship and was allocated the 'two-decker' HMS 'Worcester', a sister ship of the 'Trincomalee' (former 'Foudroyant') now restored and preserved at Hartlepool. At the time, the Royal Navy was starting to replace their fleet of 'wooden walls' with iron clad vessels. They had a vast surplus of such vessels and the 1473 ton 50 gun 'Worcester' was then laid up in the Nore. She had been built in Deptford Yard in 1843 and nearly £1,000 was spent on her conversion to a training ship prior to her being moved to her first base in Blackwall Reach. Within a year she was moved to Erith, thence in 1869 to Southend before finally moving in 1871 to what became a base forever associated with the 'Worcester' - the village of Greenhithe on the Kent shore and where successive ships remained until 1978. I ngress Abbey. Over fifty years passed before a permanent shore base was established in 1920, with the purchase of the Ingress Abbey estate which provided space for playing fields, offices, a sanatorium, laundry and a swimming pool. Starting with just 18 cadets, the numbers grew rapidly and there was soon a waiting list for entry. Official recognition soon followed - the Board of Trade allowed two years satisfactory 'Worcester' training to count in part towards a watchkeeping certificate, and in 1867 Queen Victoria instituted a Gold Medal for presentation annually.

  • Commander Steele VC RN
    Commander Steele VC RN (This is the title he wrote under for his book on HMS Worcester) This is a short precise of his life as was told to a Alan Coles in 1981 shortly before he died. Alan Coles was researching background for his book "Slaughter at Sea" published in 1986 ISBN 0-7090-2597-1 We all knew that he had won his VC in 1919 against the Bolsheviks at Krondstadt but very few Cadets or his staff would have known the full extent off his WWI and WWII experiences. He was involved in sad occurrence fairly early on in WWI which was sensationalised in both America and Germany for political gain when the 'spin doctors' of the time used the incident to sway public opinion. Gordon Steele was born in Exeter just before the turn of the 19th Century, educated at the Vale College, Ramsgate. His grandfather was a General in the Royal Marine Light Infantry. His father was Captain H.W. Steele RN and was the Captain Superintendent of the T.S. Cornwall moored of Purfleet in the Thames, from 1903 until he had a heart attack and died in January 1916, when Gordon Steele's mother became the Lady Superintendent until August 1916 ! Gordon Steel joined HMS Worcester in 1907, leaving in 1909 for an apprenticeship with P&O. During his time on the Worcester he was considered a brilliant student, he won the Howard Medal for Meteorology, and was second for the Kings Medal of 1909. He was award a P&O scholarship. He joined his fist ship the "Palma" a twin funnelled passenger liner of 7600 gross tons; finishing his cadetship on the "Egypt" an older passenger liner of 7900 gross tons, which after WWI collided with the French ship the Seine off the Ushant.

Pp.47-74 A very different experience: Merchant Seamen on British coastal convoys 1940-45 Coastal Convoys: Introduction and Literature Review Since the early 1940s academic and public understandings of the war at sea in Europe have been dominated by the struggle for control of the Atlantic sealanes. Images and narratives of U-boats versus the escorted, seried columns of merchant ships in carefully controlled and closely fought convoy actions in the Atlantic proliferate in media representations. The British Government’s belated decision in 2012 to award veterans of the Russian convoys a special campaign medal in the form of the Arctic Star had only minimal impact on public perceptions of the geographical confines of Britain’s sea war.1 While within academic opinion there is a very firm understanding that the war at sea, especially the merchant seamen’s war, was very different in the Atlantic, as opposed to the Mediterranean, Pacific and Arctic theatres of operation, one area of convoy operations in the Second World War continues to be seriously overlooked by both academics and the general public: the convoys which operated in UK coastal waters.

It represents an intensive study, interrupted by World Wars I and II and now since my retirement from the Army, it has been full time. In my first book there were three points of dispair, all of which have now been resolved. (I) The name of the vessel in which Andrew Hannay came to America. (2) Locating the de­ scendants of the first son James and (3) The names of Andrew's forbears. It contained a record of Andrew Hannay and his de­ scendants, and information on the various branches in Scotland as found in the publications of the "Scottish Records Society", "Whose Who", "Burk's" and other authorities such as could be located in various libraries. Also brief records of several families of the name that we could not at that time identify. Since then there have been published two books on the family.
