  • Blockade-Running in the Bahamas During the Civil War* by THELMA PETERS
    Blockade-Running in the Bahamas During the Civil War* by THELMA PETERS T HE OPENING of the American Civil War in 1861 had the same electrifying effect on the Bahama Islands as the prince's kiss had on the Sleeping Beauty. The islands suddenly shook off their lethargy of centuries and became the clearing house for trade, intrigue, and high adventure. Nassau, long the obscurest of British colonial capi- tals, and with an ordinarily poor and indifferent population, became overnight the host to a reckless, wealthy and extravagant crowd of men from many nations and many ranks. There were newspaper correspon- dents, English navy officers on leave with half pay, underwriters, enter- tainers, adventurers, spies, crooks and bums. Out-islanders flocked to the little city to grab a share of the gold which flowed like water. One visitor reported that there were traders of so many nationalities in Nas- sau that the languages on the streets reminded one of the tongues of Babel.1 All of this transformation of a sleepy little island city of eleven thou- sand people grew out of its geographical location for it was near enough to the Confederate coast to serve as a depot to receive Southern cotton and to supply Southern war needs. England tried to maintain neutrality during the War. It is not within the scope of this paper to pass judgment on the success of her effort. Certain it is that the Bahamians made their own interpretation of British neutrality. They construed the laws of neutrality vigorously against the United States and as laxly as possible toward the South.

  • 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.

While there he sent two detailed letters to an uncle and aunt, Timothy Walker and his wife, Lydia, in his native Concord, New Hampshire. The pleasing style and keen observation of the writer afford a vivid picture of Key West shortly before 1840. Charles was born on March 31, 1798, the son of Charles and Hannah Pickering Walker and grand- son of the Honorable Timothy Walker, a leading citizen of Concord. He was educated at Philips Exeter Academy and Harvard, from which he was graduated in 1818.

  • Bradish W. Johnson, Master Wrecker: 1846-1914
    Bradish W. Johnson, MasterWrecker 1846-1914 by VINCENT GILPIN Mr. Gilpin, long interested in the history of Southern Florida and known to all of us here as co-author with the late Ralph M. Munroe of The Commodore's Story, has carried on his investigation of the old-time wreckers at Key West for many years; as a result he gives us this story, full of human interest and interesting biographical detail. UNTIL Florida entered the United States in 1818 the keys were unknown wilderness islets, scarce visited save by those who landed from ships wrecked on the great coral reef which borders them. The only "business" which touched them was wrecking-salvage work on these ships carried on by Cubans and Bahamans. In 1822 Key West was bought by four gentlement of wealth and culture, who attracted settlers of unusual quality for a pioneer town; it grew rapidly, around new military and naval posts, developing fisheries, including sponges and turtles, and later many cigar factories. But wrecking was its prime industry: everyone took part, whatever his daily business, and it remained the chief source of excitement and profit throughout the 19th century. The business was well organized, each vessel being licensed and supervised, and its rewards determined by the courts. There was no coast guard in early days, and the wreckers had an important function in life- saving, efforts to that end being recognized by larger salvage. It was a strenuous and dangerous business, demanding a wild race to the stranded ship, whatever the weather or time of day, and unremitting, heart-break- ing toil to save the ship, or if that were impossible, the cargo.

  • Shipwrecks on the Upper Wicomico River, Salisbury Maryland Shipwrecks
    The Search for the Lion of Baltimore: An American Privateer from the War of 1812 By David Shaw his is the story of the search for an American T privateer sunk by the British in the Chesapeake Bay in 1814. The time was the War of 1812. United States naval ships were blockaded in port by the British. Most of the naval battles of the war were fought on inland lakes such as Lake George and Lake Champlain in New York State. In large part because of the blockade, the new United States government looked to private enterprise to help out – private enterprise in the form of privateering. Privateers were nautical mercenaries, non-military, ship-borne raiders sanctioned to attack enemy vessels, whether naval or merchant, in the name of the Federal government. Privateering was, of course, not unique to An American schooner escaping from H.M.S. Pylades America or to the War of 1812. As early as the 13th during the War of 1812.

  • The Price of Amity: of Wrecking, Piracy, and the Tragic Loss of the 1750 Spanish Treasure Fleet
    The Price of Amity: Of Wrecking, Piracy, and the Tragic Loss of the 1750 Spanish Treasure Fleet Donald G. Shomette La flotte de trésor espagnole navigant de La Havane vers l'Espagne en août 1750 a été prise dans un ouragan et a échoué sur les bancs extérieures de la Virginie, du Maryland et des Carolinas. En dépit des hostilités alors récentes et prolongées entre l'Espagne et l'Angleterre, 1739-48, les gouvernements coloniaux britanniques ont tenté d'aider les Espagnols à sauver leurs navires et à protéger leurs cargaisons. Ces gouvernements, cependant, se sont trouvés impuissants face aux “naufrageurs” rapaces à terre et les pirates en mer qui ont emporté la plus grande partie du trésor et de la cargaison de grande valeur. The Spanish treasure fleet of 1750 sailed from Havana late in August of that year into uncertain waters. The hurricane season was at hand, and there was little reason for confidence in the nominal state of peace with England, whose seamen had for two centuries preyed on the treasure ships. The bloody four-year conflict known in Europe as the War of Austrian Succession and in the Americas as King George's War had been finally concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle only in October 1748 by the wearied principal combatants, France and Spain, which had been aligned against England. England and Spain, in fact, had been at war since 1739. Like many such contests between great empires throughout history, the initial Anglo-Spanish conflict and the larger war of 1744-48 had ended in little more than a draw.

  • Going on the Account: Examining Golden Age Pirates As a Distinct
    GOING ON THE ACCOUNT: EXAMINING GOLDEN AGE PIRATES AS A DISTINCT CULTURE THROUGH ARTIFACT PATTERNING by Courtney E. Page December, 2014 Director of Thesis: Dr. Charles R. Ewen Major Department: Anthropology Pirates of the Golden Age (1650-1726) have become the stuff of legend. The way they looked and acted has been variously recorded through the centuries, slowly morphing them into the pirates of today’s fiction. Yet, many of the behaviors that create these images do not preserve in the archaeological environment and are just not good indicators of a pirate. Piracy is an illegal act and as a physical activity, does not survive directly in the archaeological record, making it difficult to study pirates as a distinct maritime culture. This thesis examines the use of artifact patterning to illuminate behavioral differences between pirates and other sailors. A framework for a model reflecting the patterns of artifacts found on pirate shipwrecks is presented. Artifacts from two early eighteenth century British pirate wrecks, Queen Anne’s Revenge (1718) and Whydah (1717) were categorized into five groups reflecting behavior onboard the ship, and frequencies for each group within each assemblage were obtained. The same was done for a British Naval vessel, HMS Invincible (1758), and a merchant vessel, the slaver Henrietta Marie (1699) for comparative purposes. There are not enough data at this time to predict a “pirate pattern” for identifying pirates archaeologically, and many uncontrollable factors negatively impact the data that are available, making a study of artifact frequencies difficult. This research does, however, help to reveal avenues of further study for describing this intriguing sub-culture.

Situated on a small island, only two miles wide and four miles long, and bounded by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, it was once the largest city in Florida; at another time one of the wealthiest cities, per capita, in the United States; and at yet another time, one of the poorest. Blessed with its beautiful setting and tropical climate, Key West has, like many attractive tourist destinations, undergone a mighty struggle over its identify. Buffeted over the years by economic forces and national cultural changes, not to mention the occasional hurricane, Key West has long been one of America’s most unique and intriguing places. In 1983, it elected Richard Heyman, the first openly gay mayor in the United States. And in 1989, citizens chose Captain Tony Tarrachino as mayor, who, as described by the Washington Post, “had been a … gambler, gunrunner, saloonkeeper, fishing boat captain, ladies’ man and peerless raconteur.” Historian Charlton Tebeau concluded that during the decades (Continued on page 3) The cover of Key West On the Edge.

  • ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. the Influence of the War of 1812 on Great
    ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. The Influence of the War of 1812 on Great Lakes Shipbuilding. (Under the Direction of Dr. Bradley Rodgers) Department of History, January 2012. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the War of 1812 influenced ship construction techniques on the Great Lakes. During the War of 1812, much of the fighting in the North American theater of war primarily took place along the Niagara frontier and later along the St. Lawrence River. From the outset, both the Americans and British realized that gaining the upper hand in the conflict depended upon control of the Great Lakes. Critical to achieving the advantage was the development of a significant and powerful inland navy, which led to a shipbuilding race on both shores. The primary question raised surrounding Great Lakes ship construction in the early nineteenth century is whether or not this large scale event, the War of 1812, permanently influenced the way in which ships were constructed once the war was over. To answer this question, this study examines diagnostic attributes of archaeologically examined wrecks from the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain from before, during and after the War of 1812 to find similarities and difference in their design and construction The three time periods have been defined as the period before the War of 1812, from the French and Indian War (1754 to 1763), when British sailing ships first appeared on the Great Lakes, up to 1811; the period of the War of 1812 itself (1812-1814); and the period after the war leading up to the opening of the Welland Canal (1829) and the widespread use of steam engines on the Great Lakes (1830s-1840s).
