STONINGTON FINAL TEXT with Photos
STONINGTON PORTRAITS: A Seafaring Saga "STONINGTON PORTRAITS: A Seafaring Saga" is a collection of portraits by artist Sabina Streeter inspired by the lives and personae of the great maritime era. A contin- uation of her previous show "CAPTAINS, MATES, and WIDOWS”, the collection fea- tures a poetic interpretation of Stonington’s iconic seafaring characters of the eigh- teenth and nineteenth century. Originally from Munich, Germany, Sabina Streeter holds family ties to Stonington and is currently based in Sag Harbor, NY. Her studio at 25 Madison Street (built in 1828) is the original residence of the great Whaling Captain, David P. Vail, master of the whaling ship “The Sabina”. Nathaniel Brown Palmer (1799-1877) A famous seafaring captain , and ship designer, Nathaniel Brown Palmer was born in Stonington, Connecticut in 1799. A descendant of Walter Palmer, one of the town's founders, Nathaniel grew into a skilled and fearless seaman, achieving his first command at the young age of 21. At the time, hides of Antarctic Ocean seals were highly valued as items for trade with China. Palmer took his station as second mate on board the first sealing voyage of the Hersilia, the first American vessel known to reach the South Shetland Islands. Aggressively searching for new seal rookeries south of Cape Horn, on 17 November 1820, Palmer and his men, aboard The Hero, became the first Ameri- cans to discover the Antarctic Peninsula. A compelling account of the discovery describes Palmer’s run in with a fellow expedition ship, the Vostok, and it’s commander Fabian Gottlieb Von Bellinghausen: Upon their meeting in the midst of the Arctic fog, the Russian Captain assessed Palmer’s sea charts and was as- tonished to discover that the young seaman had already sighted the land which he himself had been in search of for years. -

Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers
Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers By Bill Starr State Director of the Forest Fire Lookout Association Forest Fire Observer – Pillsbury Mountain © Copyright 2009 Unpublished Work Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers Table of Content: Introduction…………………………………1 The Roster…………………………………...2 List of the NYS Fire Towers….....................56 February 2009 Fire Tower Inventory……..59 Fire Tower Location Map………………….60 Number of Fires Spotted Graph…………...60 Historical Notes on Certain Fire Towers….61 Roster of the NYS Forest Fire Observers from the payroll file of the Bureau of Forest Fire Control 1911 – 1972 © Copyright 2009 Unpublished Work by Bill Starr The following roster of the New York State Forest Fire Observers was compiled from the index card payroll file of the Bureau of Forest Fire Control from 1911 through 1972. Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch. -
