  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Surgery at Sea: an Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation
    Surgery at Sea: An Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation By Robin P. Croskery Howard April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Maritime Studies, History Abstract: Shipboard life has long been of interest to maritime history and archaeology researchers. Historical research into maritime medical practices, however, rarely uses archaeological data to support its claims. The primary objective of this thesis is to incorporate data sets from the medical assemblages of two shipwreck sites and one museum along with historical data into a comparative analysis. Using the methods of material culture theory and pattern recognition, this thesis will explore changes in western maritime medical practices as compared to land-based practices over time.

The 17 inches of rain that fell over southern Wisconsin in a i10-day period caused catastrophic flooding, and not just from overflowing streambanks. Another more unusual type of flooding took place at the same time, less than 50 miles away. About 4,300 acres of land located near Spring Green but not in the Wisconsin River floodplain became inundated with water—water that rose from the ground and overtopped the land surface. This was groundwater flooding. The land remained under water for more than five months. No amount of pumping would reduce the water level because there was no place for it to drain. “People didn’t understand what was going on because normally water has a place to go,” stated Madeline Gotkowitz, a hydrologist from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. continued on page 7 >> Water surrounds a house in Spring Green.

Credit: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - Advanced Imaging and Visualization Laboratory. 1 Abstract In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 U.S.C. 1434 et seq.), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that considers alternatives for the proposed designation of Wisconsin - Lake Michigan as a National Marine Sanctuary. The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.

Noble Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No.8 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 1993 Ie ------ -- -- - -- --_.- - ----------------------------- --- ----- ABSTRACT During June and July of 1988, archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center performed limited testing at four historic lighthouse complexes within Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The lighthouses, which still protect shipping at the western end of Lake Superior, were scheduled for exterior restoration work. Specifically, immediate plans called for the installation of drainage systems about certain structures on Sand Island, Michigan Island, Outer Island, and Devils Island to mitigate continuing ground water damage to their foundations. Archeological investigations sought to assess the potential impacts to cultural resources in those areas of the light stations that would be disturbed by proposed developments. Shovel probes and controlled test excavations were used to examine the proposed drain alignments, as well as construction staging areas. No significant cultural resources were discovered during the five-week project that would warrant modification of the drainage systems or further archeological excavation prior to construction of these improvements.

For the reasons set forth below, the Court denies Cassway’s Motion to Intervene, and declines to award sanctions. I. Factual Background and Procedural History Cassway seeks to intervene in the above-referenced case, where this Court entered default judgment in favor of AWS on July 19, 2017. [Dkt. 21]. The above-captioned case concerns the salvage rights to the wreck of the S.S. Carolina (“the Carolina”). The Carolina was a passenger and cargo steam ship sunk by German gunfire on June 2, 1918 approximately 94 miles southeast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. [Cassway Mot., Dkt. 38-1 at 5]. The Carolina’s wreck rested unclaimed on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean until John Chatterton located the wreck in 1995 and filed a lawsuit in this Court on November 1, 1995 to arrest the Carolina.
