Crew members Bernie Webber, Andrew Fitzgerald, Richard Livesey, and Ervin Maske were all awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal for their heroism. The boat was retired from service in 1968 and was mostly forgotten until 1981 when the Orleans Historical Society acquired the CG36500 and rescued it from Wellfleet where it had fallen into disrepair. The boat was moved to Orleans where it was painstakingly and lovingly restored by volunteers. The restored boat reunited the original crewmembers after 50 years. “The Finest Hours” by Michael Tougias and Casey Sherman, which tells the story of the valiant rescue, was made into a movie by Walt Disney Pictures. Location filming occurred around Town in the winter of 2015. Cover photos, courtesy of the Orleans Historical Society, Orleans MA, document the restoration of the CG36500 and the reunion of its crew. Back cover photos, courtesy of Lt. Michael Anderson, Chatham Police Depart- ment, depict some of the location filming that occurred around Town.

  • Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball
    A Schott From The Bleachers Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball by Arthur O. Schott Listed on the roster of major league players is one Charles E. Mason. He appeared in a total of 21 games, hitting .183, with 15 hits in 82 times at bat. His career began in the old National Association (a predecessor of the National League) on April 26, 1875, with the Centennials of Philadelphia. After twelve games there, Mason went to the Washington club in the same league for eight games. Mason’s career ended in 1883 when “base ball” was still being written as two words. He appeared in the old American Association major league. He made one hit in two times at bat (a .500 average for his short career there). Why is this seemingly insignificant performance so long ago worthy of mention? Charles Mason was born on June 25, 1853 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and died October 21, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That fact, coupled with his short major league career, entitles him to a record that can never be equaled: he was the first New Orleans native to play in a league of major classification. The accompanying box score is that of Charles Mason’s first game, when the New Orleans native played right field for the Centennials and contributed two hits in four times at bat.

  • Home Ports and Fast Sailing Ships: Maritime Settlement and Seaborne Mobility in Forming the Comparative Wests William M
    Home Ports and Fast Sailing Ships: Maritime Settlement and Seaborne Mobility in Forming the Comparative Wests William M. Taylor ABSTRACT: The contribution of the sea and seafaring to the construction of modernity has recently been reappraised. Opposing narratives of the geographical (particularly terrestrial) and temporal co- ordinates of modernity’s progress, the fluidity of “ocean-space,” and “maritime criticism” have been proposed to challenge conventional readings of established archives and question consensual under- standings of the fundamental territoriality, geographic enlargement, and progressive development of nation-states. This essay questions how this reappraisal of the sea may be relevant to the study of the “comparative Wests.” Specifically, it considers how aesthetic and ethical possibilities for maritime crit- icism may reveal gaps or omissions in the historiography of the neo-European settlement and nine- teenth-century territorial expansion of the United States and Australia. My primary focus is Lewis Mumford’s writing on American culture, architecture, and design. I question how Mumford’s appropriation of nineteenth-century aesthetic criticism, particularly writing extolling the virtues of colonial American ships and seafaring, may be indicative of tensions at work between opposing organic and globalized, geographically closed and unbounded, moral and econom- ic perspectives on a nation’s progress, development, and growth—between a critical emphasis on “roots” of culture and “routes” of seaborne exchange. If it is true, as Philip Fisher asserts, that the story of American society is largely a history of the nation’s transport, then what stories do the systems and technology of seaborne mobility tell us? SAILING SHIPS (ALONG WITH SEAFARING AND NAVIGATIONAL PRACTICES) were one princi- pal means whereby neo-European settlement was established in the multiple “Wests” imagined and occupied by colonialists and, as such, were engaged in the negotiation of difference.
