The Way of the Sea
1 The Way of the Sea Cheney Duvall stared up at the great clouds of soaring sail, though her eyes watered from the sun and salt sting. The Brynn Annalea had found a tail of the northeast trade winds, strong and hot, to wend her fast down Baja and push her easily over the Tropic of Cancer. Her sharp prow knifed the water, the jib with the lucky shark’s fin mounted on it splashing in the wave crests. She was a beautiful thing, fast, sharp-hulled, streamlined, proud. And dangerous. Cheney shouted up at Shiloh, and he was shouting back down at her. Neither of them could possibly hear the other, but both of them kept on. “You idiot! Come down from there this instant! You are going to fall and die!” Cheney shrieked. He made an impatient gesture—Get below, you dumb girl!— which made Cheney’s heart almost stop, for he had let go with one arm to make jabbing “get below” motions to her. Twelve seamen were perched along the bucking, straining yard, feet kicked back against the footrope, bellies pressed against the yard, hands gathering up the heavy canvas. Cheney watched, horrified, as they struggled to roll the great main royal sail around the yard. Finally it was wound as neatly as thread on a spool, and the sailors, with strong and agile movements, passed lengths of rope around sail and yard and made it fast with hitches. One by one they started edging back along the yard, making for the weather shrouds to scamper down. -

1998 Lake Michigan Crew Over Board Study Provided by the Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation (LMSRF)
1998 Lake Michigan Crew Over Board Study Provided by the Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation (LMSRF) This is an effort to encompass Offshore Racing Sailing stories from crew over boards during racing, on the way in or to the race course, delivery trips before or after a race along with Lake Michigan boats that attend races away from Lake Michigan. As these stories developed, it became clear that when a boat sank, the entire crew was then "over board". This simple fact, originally not considered, added greatly to the database. Many stories contain just the cold hard facts. The emotions and anxieties were removed to keep the possibility of a libel suit to a minimum, since these are stories typically told of others on board. The range of emotions in the stories include shrieking of women who believe they are seeing someone drown, foul language amongst crew accusing others of not pulling their weight, accusations that certain people are short of brain power or just plain stupid. Some involve crew mad at skipper, skipper mad at crew and crew mad at crew. Much of this type of anger seems to come out just at the stressful time of recovery and diffused quickly thereafter. Put yourself on board in each story and imagine how you would react in the situation. LM Case 1 As reported by Alan R. Johnston, January 21, 1998 In the 1973 Chicago-Mackinac race off Point Betsie, MI at 5 to 6 AM with the sun just over the horizon making light, there was a thud on the deck. -

Part 19 Mizzen Topsail
Part 19 Part 19, similar to part 18, we will be moving up the masts to the next level to install and rig the Topmast yards and sails. When building the masts, I had put the long pole on the top of the mizzen mast and had just assumed that I would be installing a mizzen topgallant, but this was not to be. So the mizzen topsail is as high as I go. You will see in some of the pictures I rigged a mizzen topgallant fore stay to “fill” the space. As before, I re-sequenced the steps to merge the rigging of the sails with the basic rigging. This chapter goes hand in hand with chapter 23 to marry the yards and sails together. I have included the sequencing for the topsails below. (Most of the photos in this chapter were taken after the fact and not during the assembly work) Mizzen Topsail Atalanta Mizzen Topsail Installation Sequence 1770’s (Period 1760 – 1800) 19.1 Make Topsail yard Sling cleat Stop cleat 19.2 Yard horses and stirrups (4) 19.3 Yard sheet blocks (2) 19.4 Yard clueline blocks (2) 19.5 Yard brace pendants (2) 19.8 Yard lift blocks (2) 23.1 Sew Sail Reef Points Bend sail – (carp. glue 60/40 solution) Lace Sail to yard 19.7 Yard tye and halliards 19.9 Yard lifts 19.10 braces 19.11 Vangs 23.16 sail cluelines (2) 23.17 sail buntlines (2) 23.18 sail bowlines and bridles(2) 23.19 sail sheets (2) XX Bend sail (2nd time) At this point all tackle; sail and sail rigging are attached to the yard and ready to install. -
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. -

The latter are hermaphrodite brigs, or “half-brigs”, or simply “brigs” to use the jargon of laconic whalemen. Kate Cory was built in 1856 by Frank Sisson and Eli Allen in Westport Point, Massachusetts for Alexander H. Cory, one of the lead- ing merchants of that community. The ship was named after Alexander’s daughter. Registered at 132 tons net, Kate Cory was 75' 6" in length between perpendiculars, 9' 1-1/2" depth, and had a beam of 22' 1". The last large vessel to be built within the difficult confines of that port, she was also one of the last small whalers to be built specifically for her trade; most of the later whaling brigs and schooners were converted freighters or fishermen. While originally rigged as a schooner, Kate Cory was converted to a brig in 1858, this rig affording steadier motion in heavy seas or while cutting-in whales, not to mention saving much wear and costly repair to spars, sails and rigging. -
