The Monarch of the Sea Was One of the Sailing Ships That Brought Latter-Day Saints to the United States from Europe During the Civil War The Monarch of the Sea was one of the sailing ships that brought Latter-day Saints to the United States from Europe during the Civil War.

  • An Investigation Into British Neutrality During the American Civil War 1861-65
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO BRITISH NEUTRALITY DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1861-65 BY REBECCA CHRISTINE ROBERTS-GAWEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MA by Research Department of History University of Birmingham November 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis sought to investigate why the British retained their policy of neutrality throughout the American Civil War, 1861-65, and whether the lack of intervention suggested British apathy towards the conflict. It discovered that British intervention was possible in a number of instances, such as the Trent Affair of 1861, but deliberately obstructed Federal diplomacy, such as the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This thesis suggests that the British public lacked substantial and sustained support for intervention. Some studies have suggested that the Union Blockade of Southern ports may have tempted British intervention. This thesis demonstrates how the British sought and implemented replacement cotton to support the British textile industry. This study also demonstrates that, by the outbreak of the Civil War, British society lacked substantial support for foreign abolitionists’’ campaigns, thus making American slavery a poorly supported reason for intervention.

  • A Multinational Fraternity: Freemasonry in Hawai'i, 1843-1905
    FRANK J. KARPIEL A Multinational Fraternity: Freemasonry in Hawai'i, 1843-1905 ON MARCH 30, 1843, in the midst of a short-lived British occupa- tion of the Hawaiian kingdom's capital, the Ajax, one of the few French whaling vessels in the Pacific, sailed into Honolulu harbor. It had been seven months since it had collided with an American whale ship in the Indian Ocean, and her captain, Joseph Marie Le Tellier, needed the repair facilities of the mid-Pacific port. Le Tellier also had another purpose during his stopover: Named a "Special Inspec- tor" by the Supreme Council of France, he was specially authorized to create new Masonic lodges. Within days after arriving in Honolulu, Captain Le Tellier contacted the local representative of the French government, the Mauritius-born merchant Jules Dudoit, and they recognized each other as Masons. Little more than a week later, Le Tellier acted on his commission, gathering Dudoit and fourteen other men to organize the first Masonic lodge in the Pacific, Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie.1 Initially meeting aboard the Ajax and then at Dudoit's store, the group soon moved its meetings to an adobe house owned by another charter member, John Meek, an American seafarer. A system of fraternal societies centered on convivial sociability and complex ritual, Freemasonry originated in the British Isles and had spread like wildfire throughout Europe and America during the eigh- teenth century. Although entering into a decades-long decline in the Frank J. Karpiel teaches at Ramapo College of New Jersey in Mahwah, New Jersey.

M V S - Marblehead Vital Statistics G C. - Capt. George Cloutman's Letter Book G B - Glover Broughton INTRODUCTION The information contained in this volume has been obtained by careful and persistent research from widely distributed sources viz: the Marblehead and Salem and Beverly Custom House Records, original books of the Marble- head Marine Insurance Company, covering five thousand policies running from 1800 to 1840, list of Marblehead Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War (compiled in 1912-13 by the author), old log books, old letter books, old newspapers, list of Privateersmen of 1812 made up by Capt. Glover Broughton in a memorial to the 34th, 35th and 36th Congresses asking for grants of land for services rendered, and from the descendants of the men mentioned. This volume is intended to be a fairly accurate list of the Old Sea Captains of Marblehead, and the vessels in which they sailed, going to and from foreign ports. The list of the names of the men is very nearly complete, but the list of the vessels is not as satisfactory, it being at this late date practically impossible to obtain complete information.
