West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

Kemnitz, Rachel Semlyen, and Jennifer Ault Book and cover designer: Kerri Ann Ruhl 8s6 ps Chapter 1 The clipper ship Hornet drifted across the mirroring waters of the Pacific Ocean in a blistering hot calm. Not a breath of wind stirred on deck, but upper air currents filled the skysails and royals, gently propelling the vessel along. The morning air was already sweltering. The crew, all barefoot and mostly shirtless, moved lethargically in the tropical heat. Those not on duty sought shade where they could find it or lazily dangled fishing lines in the water. All the hatches, skylights, and portholes were open to admit air, making it tolerable for those below decks. Since crossing the equator two days before, the ship had been slipping slowly north through a series of hot and windless days. But that was about to change. The captain of the Hornet was Josiah Mitchell, fifty-three years old, capable and levelheaded, with an inexpressive face hidden under a bushy beard.

  • Investigation of Abandoned WW II Wrecks in Palau
    Investigation of Abandoned WW II Wrecks in Palau Tomo Ishimura1 Abstract Over forty Japanese vessels were sunken in the water of Palau during WWII. Some wrecks sunk in the shallow water at a depth of 20 meters or less and were salvaged. Other wrecks at 30 meters depth or more still remain and are legally protected by the authority of Palau Government but are seriously threatened by illegal treasure hunters. Initial efforts to identify human remains of Japanese soldiers were made in 2005. As part of an archaeology advisory team for the Japanese Government I carried out underwater surveys of sunken WWII vessels in Palau. In 2010 and 2011, I conducted investigations of the WWII vessels again, together with on-shore research on sites and features associated with the Japanese occupation period, funded by the Takanashi Foundation for Arts and Archaeology (Japan). The research revealed that the most of the vessels sunken in Palau were not genuine military vessels of Japanese Imperial Navy or Army but converted vessels originally built for non-combat purposes. These vessels were slow in speed and not well-equipped for combat activity. Most of them were destroyed by American aerial bombing on March 30th 1944. The evening before (March 29th) the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, including its flagship Musashi, retreated from Palau. It is clear that the vessels left in Palau were abandoned as a “third wheel” of the Combined Fleet. These abandoned-converted vessels include cargo carriers, tankers, whaling boats and fishing boats. This implies that Japanese troops were experiencing a difficult and desperate campaign at that time.

  • Trabalhos De Arqueologia 18
    Sources for Lusitanian shipbuilding ❚ RICHARD BARKER ❚ Introduction “...Still there is more. In the ancient archives of the kingdom, at whose head I found myself, there exists a most ancient manuscript that is a contract between the king D. Afonso III and the Master of the Knights of Santiago, Paio Peres. In that document it is determined that the tribute of mermaids and other animals fished on the beaches of the same Order ought to be paid not to the Master but to the Kings. From which it is easy to collect that mermaids were frequent in our waters, seeing that a law had been promulgated about them. Enough: it is not worth continuing to speak of tritons, sea-nymphs and mermaids, and we renew the thread of the discourse”. Damião de Gois, Lisboa de Quinhentos, 1554 (Gois, 1554-1937, p. 30)1, offers this sad tale of over-fishing in the third quarter of the thirteenth century. The same might have been said of the wrecks of Portuguese ships, whose absence had been the source of some woe to schol- ars such as João da Gama Pimentel Barata and Octávio Lixa Filgueiras. After all, it was Por- tuguese ships that really opened up the world in the fifteenth century, and even much of the so-called Spanish Armada had actually been seized from the Portuguese arsenals. Happily, the sirens have finally led our Portuguese colleagues to the true fishing grounds. Perhaps the mer- maids will follow. Portugal has a maritime history out of all proportion to its size, but after a brief survey, towards the overall theme of the conference, this paper will concentrate on three aspects of nau- tical archaeology that have been illuminated by the contents of Portuguese libraries.

To see all the terms from AB Barlow’s past activities, please scroll down. Battle of Cape St. Vincent – one of the first battles of the Anglo-Spanish War (1796-1808). The battle was a decisive English victory and saw four Spanish ships of the line captured by the British; two by Horatio Nelson Battle of Flamborough Head – a battle fought during the American War of Independence during which Captain John Paul Jones captured the British frigate Serapis even as his own ship, Bonhomme Richard, sank out from under him Boarding – the act of sending sailors or soldiers from one’s own ship to an enemy ship for the purpose of capturing the other vessel. In modern context, boarding can also occur for more peaceful purposes such as a safety or customs inspection Brig – a ship with two masts, both carrying square sails. Also, a jail located on board a ship Cutting Out – the act of attacking a ship from small boats filled with sailors or marines. Often used as a surprise tactic Fighting Top – a platform part way up a ship’s mast used as a firing position by sharpshooters during a naval engagement First-Rate – the largest warships in the now-obsolete Royal Navy ranking system. Generally, first-rates mounted around 100 carriage guns Frigate – a small, fast warship; usually built for maneuverability and speed over firepower Gangway – traditionally, a narrow passage connecting a ship’s quarterdeck and forecastle.
