  • 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.

BALTIMORE: PUBLISHED FOR THE AUTHOR, BY HENRY TAYLOR, SUN IRON BUILDING. 1855. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1855, by HINTON R. HELPER, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the District of Maryland. SHERWOOD & CO., PRINTERS, BALTIMORE. TO THE HON. JOHN M. MOREHEAD, OF NORTH CAROLINA, These Pages are respectfully Dedicated, BY HIS SINCERE FRIEND AND ADMIRER, THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. The land of gold; reality versus fiction. By Hinton R. Helper http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.075 PREVIOUS to my departure for California, near and dear friends extracted from me a promise to communicate by letter, upon every convenient occasion, such intelligence as would give them a distinct idea of the truthfulness or falsehood of the many glowing descriptions and reputed vast wealth of California. In accordance with this promise, I collected, from the best and most reliable sources, all that I deemed worthy of record touching the past of the modern El Dorado, relying upon my own powers of observation to depicture its present condition and its future prospects. This correspondence was never intended for the public eye, for the simple reason that the matter therein is set forth in a very plain manner, with more regard to truth than elegance of diction. Indeed, how could it be otherwise? I have only described those things which came immediately under my own observation, and, beside this, I make no pretensions to extensive scholastic attainments, nor do I claim to be an adept in the art of book-making.

  • The Development of the Clipper Ship 49
    1929.] The Development of the Clipper Ship 49 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CLIPPER SHIP BY CHABLES E. PARK T HAS been said that during the fifteen or twenty I years which came exactly in the middle of the 19th Century, America was the mistress of the seas. If such a statement means that the American fiag was to be seen in every port of the world, that American bottoms commanded the highest freight rates, that American vessels held all records for speed, that American ships were unexcelled in size, in beauty, and in seaworthy qualities, and that American captains were unequalled in skill and daring, the statement is a true one. The type of vessel by means of which this suprem- acy on the ocean was attained is known as the Clipper Ship. That designation must be understood as a technical one. A clipper is a vessel designed for speed at the expense of carrying capacity, such design taking the form of sharpness and slenderness of hull with clean, fiowing, graceful lines that offer the least possible resistance to the water at the bows, that create the least possible drag or inrush of water under the stern, and that create the smallest possible wake or swell as the vessel moves ahead. In other words, a clipper is a vessel so carefully designed as to move through the water with the least possible commotion, hence with the greatest ease. A ship is a vessel rigged with three masts, and with square sails on each mast. This rig at the time of which we are speaking was considered the standard rig for ocean going vessels.
