BLUNT Z~t n Y id it k: E & G .WJiMINT 1»43 j THE AUTHOR’S DESIGN. — IN elucidating the Theory of Seamanship, where very few technical terms are neces¬ sary, explanatory figures have always been deemed indispensable. The Author imagined they might at least be equally useful in a description of the practice, which must be given in terms of art; particularly as it might induce many to study the profession, who have no previous knowledge of Geometry. A mere verbal explanation often perplexes the mind, for no one but a seaman can clear¬ ly comprehend it; and he is not the object for whom such aid is intended. There has been scarcely any improvement in the working of ships, since the production of a Treatise on Practical Seamanship, by the late Hr.AViluaiu Hutchinson, of Liver¬ pool, which was given to the public about thirty years ago,—a work of great merit, written by a real seaman ; the first of any consequence on this subject ever published ; and perhaps the only one, in which a few figures of ships have been given, to explain the working of them. In the leading of rigging, there have been some useful varieties since that period ; of which as many are given in this volume as the Author is acquainted with. To make the study less irksome, he has provided a plate for every page of letter-press'; that the ideas may not be disturbed, nor taken from the immediate subject, by a reference to figures in another part of the work. This he has avoided, except w here repetition takes place; anil when that occurs, the figure will be found with the explanation. He has com¬ prised the whole in one hundred and eleven pages. In this book, there is no attempt at any thing new, what may not have been treated on before, or with which every good seaman is not perfectly acquainted. It is intended solely as a Hey to tin* leading of Rigging and to Pi •actical Seamanship ; as an assistant to ren¬ der the knowledge of them easy and familiar to the young gentlemen of the Royal Navy, the Honorable East India Company’s service, and others who may not have been long enough at sea, or have had an opportunity of acquiring it by practice. If it possesses ibis utility, it has all the merit it can claim. Young officers sometimes feel a diffidence in soliciting information, either from a fear of exposing their ignorance, or fi om an idea that such a request may be treated with rid¬ icule. A reference, like a work of this nature, which can be consulted with privacy, will obviate the difficulty: it was not a secondary consideration in the prosecution of it. In the pursuit of this object, the Author has done his best. A 11 The plan of this work was laid many years ago; and subsequently, the manuscript was finished nearly as it now appears, for the advantage of a young gentleman, whose incli¬ nations at that time led him to the choice of a sea-faring life. Being seen by many gentlemen of known professional abilities, on both the eastern and western coasts ; who thought an explanation of this nature might be of service to young seamen in general; they presented the Author with testimonials of their good opinion, and wished him to give it publicity. It was afterwards, through the friendly zeal of Cap¬ tain Joshua Sydney Horton, of the Boyal Navy, introduced to the notice of several of¬ ficers of rank and experience; who, with a liberality worthy of their high stations, gave their signatures of approval. To the highly respectable individuals who have thus kindly sanctioned his attempt, he takes this opportunity of returning his most grateful acknowledgments. He feels him¬ self inadequate to express his obligations to those public bodies who have honored him with their countenance on this occasion—the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the Honorable the Court of Directors of the East India Company, and the Corporation of the Trinity House at Hull; having conferred their patronage in a manner equally flatter¬ ing to the Author’s feelings, and favorable to the interests of his publication. N. B. It is to be observed, that the Figures are not drawn to any scale, but are placed to answer the description independently; and that no more rigging, in general, is shown, than is necessary to explain the part described. The plates are engraved by Messrs. Butterworh, of Leeds; to whose perseverance and abilities the Author feels himself greatly indebted. PREFACE OF THE AMERICAN EDITOR. —©00- In preparing this book for the press, the American Editor has availed himself of every facility which this great sea-port could afford. It is some twenty-four years since, his vocation then being upon the deep, he purchased one of these books in England; and, although then behind the day in the improvements in the rigging of American ships, it was found to be a work of great utility. Since that time the changes in the mode of rigging, and in diminishing the unnecessary weight aloft, combining lightness with strength, have been greater than for the preceding hun¬ dred years, if a fair judgment can be formed from a comparison of the different works upon the subject. These improvements have been effected mainly, it is believed, by American ingenuity. Our shipmasters have been free to act, untrammelled by any control save that of their own good sense and experience ; and the result is, that we now can challenge the world to pro¬ duce so many symmetrically rigged and serviceable ships as exist in our mercantile marine. Let us give one instance:—on a voyage to India, in 1818, the ship H which we were on boartj^vas rigged in the common way ; the yards encumbered with straps, &c.

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).

THE fervid activity of our excellent admi­ ral, Sir Samuel Hood, in whose flag-ship I served as lieutenant from ]812 to 1815 on the Indian station, furnished abundant materials for journal-writing, had we only known how to profit by them. There was ever observable a boyish hilarity about this great officer which made it equally delightful to serve officially under him, and to enjoy his friendly companionship; in either case, we always felt certain of making the most of our opportunities.

  • 1 Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) Youth (1902) This Could Have Occurred
    1 Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) Youth (1902) This could have occurred nowhere but in England, where men and sea interpenetrate, so to speak—the sea entering into the life of most men, and the men knowing something or everything about the sea, in the way of amusement, of travel, or of bread-winning. We were sitting round a mahogany table that reflected the bottle, the claret-glasses, and our faces as we leaned on our elbows. There was a director of companies, an accountant, a lawyer, Marlow, and myself. The director had been a Conway boy, the accountant had served four years at sea, the lawyer—a fine crusted Tory, High Churchman, the best of old fellows, the soul of honor— had been chief officer in the P. & O. service in the good old days when mail- boats were square-rigged at least on two masts, and used to come down the China Sea before a fair monsoon with stun'-sails set alow and aloft. We all began life in the merchant service. Between the five of us there was the strong bond of the sea, and also the fellowship of the craft, which no amount of enthusiasm for yachting, cruising, and so on can give, since one is only the amusement of life and the other is life itself. Marlow (at least I think that is how he spelt his name) told the story, or rather the chronicle, of a voyage: “Yes, I have seen a little of the Eastern seas; but what I remember best is my first voyage there.
