Two major structural refits under present ownership since 2010 leave this handsome and proven schooner a long way from retirement sitting at a dock as another pretty face. In fact her 2019 summer cruise was 6200 miles from Mexico back to the Maine waters of her birth, and taking part in three regattas once there, proving just what a capable and seaworthy family passagemaker DIRIGO II is – still doing exactly what she was conceived for by John G Alden in 1939. • SANDEM AN YACHT COMPANY • • Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts • www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk © Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2021.

  • The Case of Elizabeth Howe
    Walton 1 Claire Walton HIST 2090 29 November 2017 Final Paper A Pious Woman Condemned by Rumor, Church, and Court: The Case of Elizabeth Howe “Though shee wer condemned before men shee was Justefyed befor god”1 -Goody Safford Prior to the year 1682, Goody Elizabeth Howe enjoyed a reputation defined by piety, honesty, and neighborliness. Two distinct disputes in 1682 would come together ten years later during the Salem witch crisis to place Elizabeth’s life in mortal peril. A “faling [out]” between Samuel Perley and the Howes preceded fits suffered by Samuel’s daughter, who reportedly identified Elizabeth as her tormentor. Although ministerial accounts contested Elizabeth’s culpability, rumors spread and stained Elizabeth’s holy reputation. Her rejection from the Ipswich Church approximately two or three years later, informed by the rumor of witchcraft and other reports from neighbors, exacerbated suspicion, as those involved in the church’s decision attributed maleficium to Elizabeth.2 The second dispute occurred on June 14, 1682, the same year Samuel Perley’s daughter first reported afflictions. The Topsfield men, Thomas Baker, Jacob Towne, and John Howe, Elizabeth’s brother-in-law, challenged John Putnam of Salem Village over his claim to land along the Ipswich River. This dispute pitted the Howe family against the Putnam family, a driving force behind the Salem witch trials of 1692. Ultimately, Elizabeth’s reputation of witchcraft coupled with her relationship to John Howe and by extension association with the Putnam land dispute influenced her conviction as a witch. Although numerous individuals 1 Bernard Rosenthal, et al., eds., Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2009), 341 (Hereafter RSWH).

  • Perjurium Maleficis: the Great Salem Scapegoat
    Perjurium Maleficis: The Great Salem Scapegoat by Alec Head The Salem Witch Trials, often heralded as a sign of a religious community delving too deep into superstition, were hardly so simple. While certainly influenced by religion, the trials drew upon numerous outside elements. Though accusations were supposedly based in a firm setting of religious tradition, an analysis of individual stories—such as those of Rebecca Nurse, John Alden, and George Burroughs—shows that the accused were often targeted based on a combination of either fitting the existing image of witches, personal feuds, or prior reputations. The Puritans of Salem considered themselves to be “God’s chosen people,” building a new land, a heaven on earth.1 As with many endeavors in the New World, the Puritans faced innumerable struggles and hardships; their path would never be an easy one. However, rather than accepting their hurdles through a secular perspective, the Puritans viewed matters through a theological lens to explain their difficulties. While other, non-Puritan colonies faced similar challenges, the Puritans took the unique stance that they lived in a “world of wonders,” in which God and Satan had hands in the daily lives of humanity.2 In effect, this led to desperate—eventually deadly— searches for scapegoats. Upon his arrival in Salem, Reverend Samuel Parris publicly insisted that the hardships were neither by chance nor mere human hand. After all, if they were God’s chosen people, any opposition must have been instigated by the devil.3 Satan would not simply content himself with individual attacks. Rather, Parris insisted, grand conspiracies were formed by diabolical forces to destroy all that the Puritans built.

  • The Touch of Evil: the Development & Influence of the Touch Test in The
    Burra 1 The Touch of Evil: The development & influence of the touch test in the Essex County Witchcraft Trials of 1692 Kevin Burra American Studies 2090 Professor Mary Beth Norton 30 November 2011 Burra 2 When [suspected witches] have been brought before the Afflicted, they have struck them down with their Eyes, and raised them again with a touch of their hands…It was first discovered occasionally, but sence hath been used for an experiment, and is found never to fail.1 This except from Samuel Willard’s Some Miscellany Observations explains a staple of court proceedings in the 1692 witchcraft trials in Essex County: the touch test. Although the test was oft-cited evidence of witchcraft in the Salem trials, it wasn’t until the examination of Abigail Soams on May 13, 1692—two and a half months after Tituba confessed to witchcraft—that the magistrates first ‘discovered’ the test. Following the examination of this “Single woman…accused of Sundry acts of witchcraft,” 2 the test became integrated into witch examinations, and, while not accepted as definite evidence, aided accusers in their testimonies against their supposed afflicters. The touch test came into being and quickly spread, not by chance, but rather as a result of historical and situational forces surrounding the examination, and its aftermath. The touch test was pivotal to the development of the Essex County witchcraft crisis—just as it strengthened and sustained the trials, it would eventually become a target for criticism, which contributed to ending the ordeal. Mary Warren, a maidservant who had already been involved in the trials as both an afflicted person and an afflicter,3 had charged Abigail Soams for afflicting her with witchcraft.4 In the examination, when Soams glanced at her accuser, Mary Warren fell “into a dreadful fit… continually Crying out that it was this very Woman” who had been afflicting her—confirming 1 Rev.

  • Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence
    Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence EVAN HAEFELI ISCOVERING new documentation on such a well-studied event as the Salem witch trials is a rare thing. Even rarer Dis contemporary commentary on the trials. Jacob Melyen (i640-1706), a colonial merchant of Dutch origin living in Boston in the summer of 1692, has left us both in the eighty-eight letters copied into his letterbook now located at the American Antiquarian Society. Written mostly in Dutch and concerned pri- marily with his mercantile activity and events in New York, Melyen's letters add to our factual knowledge and illuminate just how troubled many colonists were about what was happening. To help imderstand the significance of the letters and explain why they even exist at all, this essay will outline their context through Melyen's life. It is an important story, joining together the histories of New Netherland, New England, and New York in ways colonial historians often overlook. While there is no evidence that Melyen had any direct involvement in the trials, his letters underscore the vital role New York politics played in this quin- tessentially New England drama.' Given the nature of Melyen's Eor their comments and suggestions on translation and interpretation the author would like to thank Willem Erijhoff, Charles Gehring, Mary Beth Norton, Caroline Sloat, Kevin Sweeney, David William Voorhees, and the anonymous reviewers for this journal. All errors and peculiarities, of course, remain his own. I. Jacob Melyen, Letterbook, 1691-1696, American Antiquarian Society.

  • Samuel Willard: Savior of the Salem Witches
    Culhane 1 Samuel Willard: Savior of the Salem Witches By Courtney Culhane Prof. Mary Beth Norton HIST/AMST/FGSS 2090 Culhane 2 It is approximately the first week of August, 1692. He cannot place the exact date, only that it had been roughly nine weeks since his capture on May 30th1. Since then he has lost all track of time, even with the extra daytime freedoms that his wealth and social statues allow him. “Such things did not prevent an accusation,” he mused, “as I am yet a prisoner by eventide, shackles or no, denounced as a witch of all things, by mere children! No matter, the appointed hour has almost arrived. I only pray Mary is prepared…Hark, the signal! It must be the minsters.” “Ye be Phillip English?” a coarse but welcome voice inquiries through the bars, through the darkness; its master bears no candle. “Indeed Reverend.” “Then make haste! The guards are paid off, your wife is waiting. Go now! And ‘if they persecute you in one city, flee to another.’”2 * Purportedly aiding Philip English in his flight from a Boston prison is only one instance of the Reverend Samuel Willard’s substantial personal involvement in the 1692-1693 incidents which American historical tradition has collectively adopted as “The Salem Witch Trials.” Although his participation in numerous areas of the trial proceedings has been definitively confirmed, Willard’s anti-trial “activism” and its consequences still leave curious contemporaries with several questions, the answers to which are necessary for a truly complete understanding of 1 Mary Beth Norton, In the Devil’s Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692 (New York: Vintage Books 2003) 238.

    FREE BLOOD KISS PDF J. R. Ward | 432 pages | 02 Jun 2016 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9780349409276 | English | London, United Kingdom Blood Kiss – J. R. Ward – #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Blood Kiss is a unique resource to the Vampire Counts race. Awaken ancient and powerful Vampire Bloodlines and consume Blood Kisses which are acquired by killing faction leaders in battle, by assassination, or by vassalising factions. This resource is meant to reflect the vampires of your faction converting an enemy character into a vampire or infiltrating the notables in their faction. The resource is used to awaken one of the five types of Bloodline Vampire Lords and unlock the buffs their bloodline grants. Each bloodline has three tiers, unlocking a lord at each and Blood Kiss progressively better buffs as you go Blood Kiss. The cost of Blood Kisses per Blood Kiss also increases from Tier 3: Gain access to Sylvanian Handgunners. Tier 3: Immune to Untainted attrition. The "Blood Kiss" is the method used by Warhammer vampires to convert regular humans into vampires. While the name is suggestive, the actual process of the Kiss is unknown, and one of the greatest secrets of the undead aristocracy. The outcome is both a physical, mental, and spiritual transformation, corrupting or destroying the person who existed before and replacing them with a darker self. There does not appear to be any physical limit to how often vampires can give the Blood Kiss; however, vampires are legendarily selective Blood Kiss to just who they will invite into their exclusive bloodline, seeking only the most exceptional examples of humanity.
