  • 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 Examination of the historical documents, ship cabin plans, and photos of those interiors, as well as looking at surviving ships, such as the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, provided evidence of the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.

    Volume 9 (pg's 2/3) Summer 2002 Courageous Restoration includes new Performance MARSKEEL Few boats become household names but 'Courageous' is a dramatic title that conjure up treasured memories, among sailors and non-sailors alike. The Museum of Yachting in Newport, Rhode Island, has created the Courageous Foundation. Courageous was recentl acquired by Craig Millard for the Foundation and the famed 12 meter is currentl undergoing a major restoration at Hinckle Yacht Services in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Along with a new keel, supplied by Mars, mast, spars, rigging, and sails, the yacht' deck and transom will be restored to their 1977 configuration. Refurbishing Courageous to her 1977 form is significant because in that year, like the America's Cup winners, Columbia and Intrepid before her, Courageous became the third defender to win back-to-back America's Cup matches. The 1974, Courageous winner was skippered by the famed Ted Hood. In 1977, it was the flamboyant Ted Turner at the helm, having bested two new boats in the defender trials. Aussie Skipper Alan Bond was back in 1977, with his new Australia, which emerged atop a fleet of five challenging sailboats that also included the well known, Baron Bich's France II, Sweden's Sverige and Australia's Gretel II. The '77 match, however, was a replay of 1974, when Courageous defeated, Australia's Southern Cross four to nil. In 2002, David Pedrick, of Pedrick Yacht Design, in Newport, Rhode Island, is leading the refurbishing assisted by St. Catherines, Onfario's, Hali Barber. Just five weeks after providing the drawings to Mars Metal the new 42,170 lb.
