  • Web of Connections
    After 1500, a web of maritime trade linked Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Thousands of ships carried explorers, merchants, and migrants from Europe to the Americas. They also transported millions of enslaved men and women from Africa. Vessels bound back to Europe carried gold, silver, sugar, tobacco, rice, and other cargoes, along with returning travelers. Every crossing brought new encounters between people, customs, and ways of life, ultimately creating entirely new cultures in the Americas. The maritime web connected the lives of millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic. The Atlantic World Trace the web of maritime connections between western Europe, western and central Africa, and the Americas that made up the Atlantic world. Details from “The Western Ocean,” a map published in The English Pilot, the Fifth Book, 1720 Courtesy of the Mariners’ Museum A World of Watercraft Educational Resources Explore artifacts and first person accounts of transatlantic travel in the 17th and 18th centuries to compare and contrast their experiences. Ships, boats, and sailors tied the Atlantic world together. Native peoples and colonists depended on boats for fishing, communication, and trade with the wider world. Warships, merchant ships, and the thousands of sailors who sailed them allowed European nations to manage their empires and profit from the far-flung lands they controlled. These models represent some of the many types of watercraft people used in commerce around the Atlantic world. Birchbark Canoe Native Americans depended on North America’s rivers and lakes for food and transportation. They fashioned tough, lightweight bark canoes for fishing, hunting, fur trading, and warfare.

  • HERMIONE N March 10, 1780, the Marquis De Lafayette Boarded Ohermione on His Way to the Coasts of North America

Frigate of the American War He left to announce the arrival of royal troops to fi ght of Independence the English occupier on the side of the insurgents. The 1779 - 1793 crossing was accomplished in the record time of 48 days. A 1/48 SCALE MONOGRAPH This performance was due to Hermione’s excellent nautical qualities. In fact, Hermione was a new-generation frigate The book includes all timbering plans built before the revolution. Started on the ways in December Jean-Claude Lemineur 1778, she benefi ted from important advances that were Patrick Villiers brought about by a new concept developed during the second half of the 18th century that translated into seagoing capabilities well beyond those of vessels built according to older designs. Like the other frigates of her generation she allied speed and fi repower, allowing her to rival those of the Royal Navy. But what did Hermione look like? Surprisingly, nothing specifi c remains concerning her, except for the information that she was constructed on the same plans as Concorde, built in 1777. As it turns out, Concorde’s lines were taken off by the Royal Navy after her capture in 1783, and the plans were kept at the NMM in Greenwich. It is fair to believe that Hermione is similar. However, the plans reveal some peculiarities specifi c to Concorde, which is and not present on Hermione. Her battery is pierced for 14 gunports to each side, not counting the chase ports.

  • Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Historical Musings from Salem Maritime NHS
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Salem Maritime National Historic Site Salem, Massachusetts Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Historical Musings from Salem Maritime NHS The First Three Years Volume VII, number 3 August 2005 On the cover: a schooner, the most popular vessel in Salem in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Schooners have at least two masts, and sometimes more, all rigged fore-and-aft (along the line of the keel from the front to the back of the vessel). Some schooners also carry a topsail on the foremast that is rigged on a yard hung square, or perpendicular, to the keel. 2 Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions The U.S. Customs Service When the United States Customs Service was formed in 1789, the agency was designed to uniformly enforce and expedite the process of collecting revenue and assembling statistical data for the newly established United States govern- ment. Customs revenues provided the primary source of funding until the ad- vent of the income tax. One critical aspect of the Customs process was the regulation of maritime commerce. On August 7, 1789, “An Act for registering and clearing Vessels, regulating the Coasting Trade, and for other Purposes” was approved by President Washing- ton.1 This act addressed the documentation of vessels and enumerated the con- ditions, laws, and penalties by which the business of shipping was to be con- ducted. Certificates of registration were issued by Collectors of Customs to American-owned vessels sailing from United States ports to foreign destina- tions. These documents recorded the basic data of ownership, length, breadth, and depth of hold, builder, age, number of masts and decks, descriptive details, and most importantly, the tonnage of each vessel.

MAINE PRIVATEERS DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR Historians have neglected the history of naval exploits during the American Revolution. Unimpeded by the American privateer vessels and the Continental and state navies, Britain would have achiez>ed a strangle-hold on the colonies and the Americans would not have obtained their independence. There are no records in the Maine State Archives at Augusta regarding the privateersmen of the American Revolution; the researcher must examine those at the Massachusetts Archives at Columbia Point, Boston. This author, after researching several books, has been able to locate fifty-two privateer vessels and/or naval officers from Maine. The following list is offered as a possible starting point for more intensive research on Maine privateers. The Massachusetts Navy began in Machias, Maine, in 1775. (At this time Maine was a part of Massachusetts.) On June 2,1775, the Boston sloops UNITY and POLLY, escorted by the British 4-gun schooner MARGARETTA, entered Machias Harbor.

  • The Natural History of French Frigate Shoals, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 150 THE NATURAL HISTORY OF FRENCH FRIGATE SHOALS, NORTHWESTERN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS by A. Binion Amerson, Jr. Issued by THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION with the assistance of The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife US. Department of the Interior Washington D.C., U.S.A. December 20, 1971 days at French Frigate Shoals on 10 different survey trips. The initial results of BSFW and POBSP investigations, as well as previously published material, are discussed herein; special emphasis is focused on the vertebrate terrestrial fauna and the vascular flora. DESCRIPTION French Frigate Shoals, lying between the latitudes of 2j027'18" and Y3°52'50" North and the longitudes 166"Oj114" and 166°2~'~4"West (USCGS Chart 4172), is given an official location of 2j045'N x 166°10'W by the U.S. Department of the Interior (Office of Geography, 1956: 6). In 1786 La Perouse (1799) named this new atoll --Basee dee Fregates Francaisee, or Shoal of the French Frigates, because it nearly proved to be the termination of his voyage. Several variations of the name have been used over the years--French Frigate Shoal, French Frigates Shoal, and French Frigate Shoals. On 1 October 1924 the U.S. Geographic Board of Names selected French Frigate Shoal as the official name. In July 1954, however, the Board changed its collective mind and adopted French Frigate Shoals. The atoll consists of a crescent-shaped reef on a 20-fathom-deep oval platform,1 whose long axis is 19 nautical miles in a northwest to southeast direction (Fig. 2).
