  • SEAFARING WOMEN: an Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships
    SEAFARING WOMEN: An Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships by R. Laurel Seaborn April, 2014 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies ABSTRACT During the 19th century, women went to sea on sailing ships. Wives and family accompanied captains on their voyages from New England. They wrote journals and letters that detailed their life on board, adventures in foreign ports, and feelings of separation from family left behind. Although the women kept separate from the sailors as class and social status dictated, they contributed as nannies, nurses and navigators when required. Examination of the historical documents, ship cabin plans, and photos of those interiors, as well as looking at surviving ships, such as the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, provided evidence of the objects women brought and used on board. The investigation from a gendered perspective of the extant material culture, and shipwreck site reports laid the groundwork for finding potential archaeological diagnostics of women living on board.

    8th 17 1837-2014 Australia Day Regatta Endorsed by Celebrating 92 YEARS OF BUILDING SUCCESS www.awedwards.com.au White Bay Cruise Terminal RAS Main Arena (Skoda Stadium) Newington College Liverpool Courthouse 8th 17 From the President This has been a time of double celebration for Sydney Harbour. In early October 2013, the International Fleet Review, which hosted ships from twenty nations, was a spectacular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy and commemorated the arrival of the first seven ships on 4 October 1913. Today’s celebration on Australia Day reminds us of our history, honours those who contributed to that history and celebrates the foundation of our nation. In doing so, we acknowledge the first Australians and pay respect to the Gadigal and Cammeragil people, recognising them as having been fine custodians of Sydney Harbour. On this 178th Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour, hundreds of sailors and their families will participate in a wonderful spectacle on one of the world’s greatest waterways. The Anniversary Regatta, as it was then known, commenced in 1837 just one year after South Australia was proclaimed a colony and before Victoria, Queensland or Tasmania (it was still called Van Diemen’s Land) were formally declared provinces. There is no better way to mark the birth of a nation surrounded by sea and developed through our great maritime heritage than by participating in the Australia Day Regatta. We welcome all those who have entered their craft, large or small, old or new. With the support of our host clubs they will celebrate Australia Day on more than 20 different waterways.

  • The Goddard Papers: the History of a Nineteenth-Century Shipbuilder and Merchant
    The Goddard Papers: The History of a Nineteenth-Century Shipbuilder and Merchant Frances Brennan On 30 December 1833, a young man, who had apprenticed at his father’s side, affixed his signature to a Partnership Agreement by which the firm of William Goddard and Son was founded. With an investment of only five thousand dollars, William Warren Goddard stepped into the world of shipbuilding and mercantile trade in the Port of Boston. The elder Goddard brought to the partnership three extremely seaworthy vessels; namely, the ship AMERICA, the ship MOUNT VERNON, and the Brig CONGRESS. It was also part of the Agreement that he would supply additional cash, as required, and thereafter devote such time and attention to this new endeavor as he would find convenient. William W. Goddard agreed to apply his whole time and ability to the business of the firm.1 By this mutual agreement the career of one was diminishing, while that of the other had just begun. Within two years his father was dead, and William W. Goddard, who was then twenty-three years of age, became the sole owner of the firm. The success of most men in the maritime industry, in the years when sail dominated the seas, was either as builder, captain, or merchant. William W. Goddard had the brilliance of the builder, and the astuteness of the merchant, and went on to excel in both. His fame as a builder is best evidenced by recounting the essence of an article published on 15 April 1868 in The Boston Traveller, in which two of his ships, HARRIOT ERVING and CRUSADER, were included as the remarkable ships of the Port of Boston: Designed and built by W.W.Goddard .
