19Th Century Maritime Norwich: Whaling, the War of 1812, the Civil War and Civil Seafaring by Vivian F The Muse Newsletter of the Slater Memorial Museum Summer 2012 19th Century Maritime Norwich: Whaling, the War of 1812, the Civil War and Civil Seafaring by Vivian F. Zoë In addition to ship building related to the military, Norwich Decker continues to explain that from 1712 to 1761, harbor was critical to the Connecticut whaling industry. sloops of sixty to eighty tons could hunt the whale at sea, According to historian Robert Owen Decker of Central replacing the small open boats. During this era of whaling Connecticut State University (CCSU), Connecticut had in Connecticut, the process of capture was fraught with five periods of whaling. He asserts that the first involved danger, followed by hauling, cutting and boiling to Natives of the pre-contact era which ended when the extract oil. During the fourth period, 1761-1776, vessels Europeans arrived in the 1630s. Indians engaged in carried equipment for extracting oil enabling them to whaling near the shore using canoes and harpoons of wood remain at sea for long periods, often years. and bone. The tribe shared the meat and used the bone for tools and ornament. The American Revolution brought whaling activities to a halt but in the fifth period, 1784-1914, whaling The second period from the 1630s to 1712 again featured vessels grew until they averaged up to 300 tons in the onshore whaling. At that time whales in large numbers years from 1840 to 1914.

Whale products were critical to life, providing oil for lubrication and illumination, fueling home lamps, streetlights, locomotive headlights and lighthouse lamps. Whalebone, in great demand, was heated to be shaped for many products including stiffening for garments. Challenges to capturing whales included difficulty in penetrating tough blubber, getting close enough to the whale to “harpoon” it effectively and killing with a hand lance while alongside a fighting whale, especially in rough weather. These problems were compounded when whaling in ice fields; getting close to a whale through the ice to harpoon and lance it was a hazardous operation. Once the whale was harpooned it would often dive below (Continued on page 3) A Message from the Director In spite of the majority of our re-installation work complete, it’s been a whirlwind at the Slater this Spring and the summer promises to slow no further. Once again, a bevy of young interns have temporarily joined our ranks and will be on board for the next few months assisting with what is arguably the most ambitious migration of the Slater’s permanent holdings in storage ever. These holdings reflect the museum’s 124 years of active and often catholic collecting of fine and decorative art, ethnographic material and household and industrial objects. Included are furnishings, paintings, works on paper and sculpture. The team will be examining every object, ensuring that it is catalogued accurately and recorded in the electronic database, is coupled with at least one image there and its condition carefully assessed. It will then find a new home in the museum’s state-of-the-art storage facility in the basement of the new Atrium or be placed in temporary, off-site storage. Knowing and understanding our collection will make future permanent and temporary exhibitions more likely and comprehensive. Participating in the project provides college interns, some of whom are NFA alumni, tangible, hands- on experience in real museum work, their chosen discipline of study. Both the museum and these young scholars are fortunate to have found one-another. Our faithful members can look forward to our reporting on uncovered treasures long obscured in poor or cramped storage conditions … stay tuned!

Conversely, as late as 1856, shooting whales was seen as dishonorable to the whaling tradition and as dangerous, for different reasons, as hand-throwing harpoons. The whale guns shared many common features, so more than one could be used to fire a harpoon or bomb lance. However the one most commonly used was the one invented by Christopher Crandall Brand. In 1846 the first successful muzzle-loaded shoulder gun was introduced for whaling. Lighter than swivel guns, and not mounted to the whaleboat, these heavy shoulder guns fired a harpoon over a slightly longer distance than a hand-darted iron with positive effect.

  • Melbourne Rare Book Fair 2019: the Highlights Including Russian Australiana & Avant-Garde Classics
    Melbourne Rare Book Fair 2019: The Highlights Including Russian Australiana & Avant-Garde Classics BOOKVICA 1 F O R E W O R D Dear all, We are glad to present to you the catalogue for the Melbourne fair - fair we wanted to participate in for a long time. The preface is that the international bookselling career of Bookvica founder, Pavel Chepyzhov, has started in Australia 8 years ago, with the ILAB internship done with the Cornstalk Bookshop and Hordern House. Now, we are coming back to show the work that has been done in these last years. The selection that we bring to Melbourne is as diverse and representative of our work as possible: from the illuminated gems of the 17th century in the shape of special coloured copy of Paterik Pecherskiy (1661) and the 13-meter long Armenian prayer scroll manuscript, to the classical Rodchenko and Lebedev’s works in book avant-garde. The special section is dedicated to what we have called Russian Australiana. Here one can find books that show connection between two countries which existed steadily through the last 200 years, especially if you include the numerous Russian travels in the Pacific and the influence of Russian culture on the Pacific Rim. We are glad to bring to Melbourne the signed copy of the travel account of one of the greatest Russian circumnavigators, Yuri Lisiansky, as well as the Russian translation of the James Cook’s biography by Kippis (1790), to underline the common ground. The Chinese section offers a glimpse into the Russian travel exploration of China, to the imprints of the exiled Russians in China in the 1920s-1930s, while in USSR at the same time the albums and books praising Mao were printed.
