  • Old Marblehead Sea Captains and the Ships in Which They Sailed
    Old Marblehead Sea Captains and the Ships in Which They Sailed Compiled and Published for the Benefit of the MARBLEHEAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY By Benjamin J. LINDSEY, Treasurer 1915 Copyrighted by BENJAMIN J. LINDSEY, 1915 Marblehead, Mass. ABBREVIATIONS S P - Ship' Paper or Pass (see cut; page 23) C P - Clearance Paper (see Cut) page 52 and 98. 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. Of the five hundred men mentioned, but two are alive at this time, Captain John D.

  • The Secession Winter and the Committee of Five
    THE SECESSION WINTER AND THE COMMITTEE OF FIVE BY FRm NICKLASON* HE secession winter of 1860-61 posed serious policy prob- XTlems for Republicans. A political dilemma arose from their dual but frequently contradictory obligations as supporters of their political party on the one hand and of the Union on the other. As Republican party members they took a political and often partisan position, criticized President Buchanan, and blamed the Democrats for failing to prevent the secession move- ment. As Unionists they declined to provoke the South, strate- gically recognizing that saving the Union depended less on action than upon moderate, non-coercive, almost moribund inactivity. Consequently, as Republicans they took a principled, "hard" but merely rhetorical position. As Unionists they necessarily fol- lowed a practical, "soft" line of ambivalence and unspoken imitation of Buchanan's policies. And as December passed into the new year the increasingly frightening possibility that south- ern threats might lead to actual war drove Republicans to dampen their rhetoric in favor of quiet, watchful waiting. By March 4 the party was practically immobile. The history of a little-known committee in the secession crisis illustrates these generalizations. By December, 1860, rumors in the North had taken three forms-that southern rebels plotted to capture Washington in January, prevent the electoral college from voting in February, or assassinate Abraham Lincoln in March. Any truth in these conspiratorial rumors required more than the official policy of delay. "Masterly inactivity" was no longer enough. As a result, Republican leaders, taking at least some precautionary action, set up the select House "committee of five" to investigate any possible threat to Union interests.
