West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

Sailing Square Rigger Models
SAILINGGREAT BRITAIN SQUAREAUTHOR: NEVILLE WADE CONTACT: [email protected] RIGGER MODELS NEVILLE EXPLAINS THE ART OF SAILING A MODEL SQUARE RIGGER HOW DO YOU GET IT TO SAIL INTO THE WIND? Lots of passers-by comment when they see model boats sailing on a pond, and one of the questions often asked of me is the one above. Sometimes I can answer at length, sometimes not, but, at any time, it’s like trying to describe a spiral staircase, without using your hands! If I try to describe the theory while someone is ‘having a go’ with one of my boats, it’s even more difficult! So, I’m going to try here, to describe what happens, what you have to think about to do it, and, also, how much fun it is. I’ve used pictures of my boats, with text on them, to help illustrate what’s happening, along with descriptions in the text of the article, to back that up. I emphasise that the techniques used are suitable for models. They are based on the real thing, but the antics that you can use on a model would dismast a real sailing ship! I’ve also not Running, with the wind from astern, or on the quarter, is the gone into the ways in which I operate my yards in any detail, merely simplest sailing case. The yards are squared, and the only effect showing the minimum necessary to aid understanding. I apologise, in to counter is yawing from one side of the course to the other.

Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Historical Musings from Salem Maritime NHS
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Salem Maritime National Historic Site Salem, Massachusetts Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions Historical Musings from Salem Maritime NHS The First Three Years Volume VII, number 3 August 2005 On the cover: a schooner, the most popular vessel in Salem in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Schooners have at least two masts, and sometimes more, all rigged fore-and-aft (along the line of the keel from the front to the back of the vessel). Some schooners also carry a topsail on the foremast that is rigged on a yard hung square, or perpendicular, to the keel. 2 Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions The U.S. Customs Service When the United States Customs Service was formed in 1789, the agency was designed to uniformly enforce and expedite the process of collecting revenue and assembling statistical data for the newly established United States govern- ment. Customs revenues provided the primary source of funding until the ad- vent of the income tax. One critical aspect of the Customs process was the regulation of maritime commerce. On August 7, 1789, “An Act for registering and clearing Vessels, regulating the Coasting Trade, and for other Purposes” was approved by President Washing- ton.1 This act addressed the documentation of vessels and enumerated the con- ditions, laws, and penalties by which the business of shipping was to be con- ducted. Certificates of registration were issued by Collectors of Customs to American-owned vessels sailing from United States ports to foreign destina- tions. These documents recorded the basic data of ownership, length, breadth, and depth of hold, builder, age, number of masts and decks, descriptive details, and most importantly, the tonnage of each vessel.

Glossary of Terms Halyards and cunninghams Halyards are lines used to pull the sails up and to adjust the position of the draft (sail camber, curvature Figure 1 or “fullness”) fore or aft in the sail. They don’t significantly alter whether the sail is more full or less full. More tension on the halyards brings the draft of the sail forward; less tension drops it back. (figure 1) Cunninghams are down haul lines for fine tuning luff tension after the halyard is tightened and cleated off.

ECTRIX ASYMMETRIC CRUISING SPINNAKERS Ectrix CRUISING ASYM METRICS
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION GUIDE VECTRIX ASYMMETRIC CRUISING SPINNAKERS ectrix CRUISING ASYM METRICS Our asymmetric cruising spinnaker, is a light weight nylon downwind sail for the cruising yachtsman. It can be used from 55 to 150 degrees apparent wind angle and is in its element for light to me- dium wind strengths from 3 to 15 knots. This sail is designed to be as easy to use as possible. It is approximately 10% smaller than a regular full dimension spinna- ker; the foot length is 6% shorter. The area in the “shoul- ders” is also reduced for easy trimming. By using advanced radial construction techniques and state-of-the-art asymmetrical spinnaker designs, the cruising yachtsman can now enjoy ex- hilarating downwind perfor- mance previously reserved for fully crewed racing yachts.
