AMERICAN YACHTING ;-Rhg?>Y^O

STEPHENS Of TH£ UNfVERSITY Of NelD gork THE MACMILLAN COMPANY LONDON: MACMILLAN & CO., Ltd. 1904 All rights reserved Copyright, 1904, By the MACMILLAN COMPANY. Set up, electrotyped, and published April, 1904. Norwood Press Smith Co, J. S. Gushing & Co. — Berwick & Norwood^ Mass.f U.S.A. INTRODUCTION In spite of the utilitarian tendencies of the present age, it is fortunately no longer necessary to argue in behalf of sport; even the busiest of busy Americans have at last learned the neces- sity for a certain amount of relaxation and rec- reation, and that the best way to these lies in the pursuit of some form of outdoor sport. While each has its stanch adherents, who pro- claim its superiority to all others, the sport of yachting can perhaps show as much to its credit as any. As a means to perfect physical development, one great point in all sports, it has the advantage of being followed outdoors in the bracing atmos- phere of the sea; and while it involves severe physical labor and at times actual hardships, it fits its devotees to withstand and enjoy both. In the matter of competition, the salt and savor of all sport, yachting opens a wide and varied field. In cruising there is a constant strife 219316 vi Introduction with the elements, and in racing there is the contest of brain and hand against those of equal adversaries. -

THE WEBB BULLETIN Samuel Blachley Webb
Volume 1, Issue 4 December 2010 WEBB SURNAME DNA PROJECT THE WEBB BULLETIN NEWS, PROJECT UPDATES & RECORDS I N T H I S I S S U E : Webbs in History: Samuel Blachley Webb 1 From the Administrator 1 SamuelC Blachley Webb WEBB Records Repository There were many Webb men who made - Arizona 3 their mark of distinction in the Revolutionary - Connecticut 3 War. One of the most notable was Samuel - Colorado 8 Blachley Webb. In June 21, 1776 he was - Delaware 9 appointed Aide-de-Camp to General George Washington and later was the Grand - Georgia 10 Marshal of his inauguration. He wrote to his - Kansas 12 wife Catherine describing that glorious day: - Kentucky 13 “I accompanied the President from his - Michigan 14 lodgings to the Senate room, from thence to - Missouri 15 St. Paul’s Church and back to his House, - Oklahoma 17 thro’ the surrounding shouts of Joy, of the greatest concourse of citizens, that I ever - Great Britain 18 beheld.” General Samuel Blachley Webb held the Bible when Washington was sworn into office. What led up to that moment was a life of service to his newly forming Country. Continued on page 2 From the Administrat or Dear Project Members, I would like to ask that everyone take a minute to do a year end “audit” of their information on the Webb Surname DNA Project website [www.webbdnaproject.org] including the Y-DNA Results Chart and Lineages. If there are any changes or missing details, just send me a quick email to let me know. I hope some of you have taken up the “Mystery Webb” challenge that can be found on the home page of the website. -
Overlooked by Many Boaters, Mount Hope Bay Offers a Host of Attractive Spots in Which to Wile Away a Day—Or Week—On the Water
DESTINATION MOUNT HOPE BAY The author’s boat, Friendship, at anchor in Church’s Cove. Overlooked by many boaters, Mount Hope Bay offers a host of attractive spots in which to wile away a day—or week—on the water. BY CAPTAIN DAVE BILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATE BROWN ount Hope Bay, shared by Massachusetts and Rhode Island, doesn’t get a lot of attention from boaters. But it should. The bay is flled with interesting places to dock, drop an anchor or explore in a small boat, so you could fll an entire week visiting a new spot every day. Every summer, I spend a signifcant amount of time on the bay aboard a 36- foot Union cutter, so I’ve gotten to know and love this body of water, which offers everything from interesting things to see and do to great dock-and-dine restaurants to scenic spots where one can drop the hook and take a dip. Here are some of my favorite places to visit, as well as some points of interest. The main gateway to Mount Hope Bay (which is named after a small hill on its western shore) is via the center span of the Mount Hope Bridge, with Hog Island Shoal to port and Musselbed Shoals to starboard. You can also enter, from the north, via the Taunton River, and from the south, via the Sakonnet River. Although the Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 35-foot-deep shipping channel through the bay up to Fall River, be mindful of navigational aids that mark obstructions such as Spar Island or Old Bay Rock. -

HISTORICAL SKETCH The Continental Works of Greenpoint (now Brooklyn), NY is the successor to Samuel Sneden & Company, which was owned in partnership by Sneden and his talented young engineer Thomas Fitch Rowland. In less than a year after its formation, the partnership was dissolved and Rowland acquired the plant and business. He was a native of Connecticut, born in 1831 at New Haven, and after leaving school had been employed by the New York and New Haven Railroad. Rowland had also practiced engineering and mechanics and had done drafting and designing work. When he became proprietor of the Continental Works, he built the water pipe across High Bridge in New York and did other important iron work. When, in 1861, John Ericsson won the contract from the US Navy to design a floating battery with a revolving turret, an invention that would revolutionize the art of naval warfare and demonstrate the value of armored vessels, he chose Rowland to build it. Monitor, the first such vessel ever completed, was built in the yard of the Continental Works in a little more than three months, and was launched January 30, 1862. -
