Cruising History
Portland Yacht Club A History of Cruising Activity The Portland Yacht Club traces its routes to a weekend cruise to Boothbay Harbor by several Portlanders in the mid 1860's. This venture was the impetus that began a discussion about forming a yacht club. This was followed by a meeting in June 1868, at which time they decided if they could sign 100 members they would move forward. On April 26, 1869 their initiative was rewarded with the creation of the Portland Yacht Club. During the first year, the club held another cruise to Boothbay Harbor. Departing Boothbay, they went up the Sasanoa (hopefully with the tide) to Bath. The next day they sailed down the Kennebec River (again hopefully with a fair tide) to Jewel Island where “a Grand Clam Bake” was held. The entire three day cruise was enshrouded in fog and supposedly continued for the next 34 years (some things never change). But, think of the seamanship and navigation skills required to ply those waters in a vessel with no power other than the wind while using less than reliable charts, compass, watch and taffrail log. Present day cruisers are now quite spoiled with the electronics available. In 1873 the club held both a spring and fall cruise along with 30 boats participating in Portland's July 4th Celebration. The spring cruise of 1879 included 4 schooners and 2 sloops. They departed the club at 1000 and arrived in Wiscasset at 1620. The sloop Vif went aground on Merrill's Ledge in the Sheepscot. As the saying goes, “There are two types of sailors in Maine, those that have been aground and those that will go aground”. -

2.2 Ancient History of the Lower Ottawa River Valley
INTRODUCTION 16 2.2 Ancient History of the Lower Ottawa River Valley Dr Jean‐Luc Pilon Curator of Ontario Archaeology Canadian Museum of Civilization 2.2.1 Archaeology in the Ottawa Valley The following discussion surrounding the ancient history of the Ottawa Valley does not attempt to present a full picture of its lengthy past. The Ottawa Valley contains literally thousands of archaeological sites, and to date only a handful have been studied by archaeologists. Still fewer of these have been properly published. Consequently, any reconstruction of the region’s ancient history is based on preliminary interpretations and a few more certain findings. The purpose of this summary is to provide a first blush of the richness of the Ottawa Valley’s pre‐contact past without labouring the discussion with details. The history of archaeological investigation of the ancient history of the Ottawa River Valley, and in particular, the stretch of river downstream of the Mattawa River, has been influenced by several historical factors. For nearly 150 years, there has been a national historical institution located within the city of Ottawa. Paradoxically, since it is a national, and not regional institution, its scholars have generally worked outside of the region. Another factor which has affected the level of interest in the pre‐contact ancient history of the region is the nature of the lifestyles of the peoples in the region who were relatively mobile hunter/gatherer groups, leaving few visible remains attesting to their life and times. However, as will be seen below, this situation is far from a hard fast rule. -

2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers. -
