  • Household Use of Maritime Resources in 18Th-Century Connecticut
    “Providence Brings to our Doors, the Delicious Treasures of the Sea”: Household Use of Maritime Resources in 18th-Century Connecticut Ross K. Harper Abstract Many families in 18th-century Connecticut combined farming and maritime activities in their household economies. While they raised crops and livestock, they also caught fish, harvested shellfish, and hunted waterfowl and game animals in the rivers and along the coastline. Families made salt by boiling seawater in large kettles, used seaweed for fertilizer and insulation, and burned shells to extract lime to make building mortar. Much of this work was done by sharing labor, equipment and boats among family and neighbors. Simple boats, such as dugout canoes and scows, were commonly used. This paper uses archaeological data from five house sites excavated in Connecticut, and a variety of documentary sources, such as probate records, diaries, journals, and newspapers, to reconstruct historic household use of maritime resources. Introduction Connecticut’s inland waterways and off-shore saltwater bodies are known today as recreational beach and sport-fishing areas. Few Connecticut residents now make or supplement their living from maritime resources. But before over-fishing, the damming of rivers, and industrial pollution decimated the state’s fish and shellfish supplies, generations of families relied on Connecticut’s maritime resources for a myriad of uses in everyday life. This paper draws on historical documents and archaeological data derived from the excavation of five buried 18th-century European American sites to examine how colonial families used maritime resources in their household economies. The house-site excavations were conducted by Archaeological and Historical Services, Inc.

  • Howard Brady
    Howard Brady WOOD DESIGNS Copyright © 2019 by Howard L. Brady Note: Every item shown in this album was an original, one-of-a-kind design. The design process from concept through crafting to the finished item is a source of incredible satisfaction to me, and a process that extends well beyond woodworking into music composition, and (with my brother) creation of innovative educational materials. A few years before I retired, Dave Campbell, a senior engineer and friend at Skydata where I worked, remarked that as a writer of technical communications documents for satellite communications equipment, I was an “information designer.” Those were kind works, and, I hope, accurate. This octogenarian loves designing. ii Toys for my great-grandson, Mason: The front-end loader and dump truck were my first major toy designs, built November 2017. Most solid wood is poplar, plywood parts are Baltic birch, dark wood is Indian rosewood, from a local tree destroyed in one of the 2004 hurricanes. Metal parts were aluminum (truck bed edge rails, front end loader bucket and crosspiece), brass (truck steering components) and stainless steel (all fasteners, operating levers). Lever and knob above truck cab controls steering. 1 Built March 2018: Toy box for Mason’s third birthday, May 6th: 2 November 2018: Toy flat-bed wrecker and grumpy wrecked race car for Mason’s Christmas. One of Mason’s parent’s close friends is Tim Daugherty, who races his #88 car (so far NOT wrecked) in figure-8 races at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Southern California. I hope he didn’t mind my version.
