A Massachusetts Yankee in the Court of Charleston: Jasper Adams, College President in Antebellum South Carolina By Gerald Vaughn Massachusetts clergyman and educator Jasper Adams (1793-1841) was among the line of notable descendants of Henry Adams (1583- 1646), who fled persecution in England circa 1630 and settled on a farm in the Braintree area, then part of Boston. The most notable of Henry Adams’s descendants include U.S. presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Millard Fillmore, William Howard Taft, and Calvin Coolidge, and Vice-President Richard Cheney. John Adams erected a monument in Henry Adams’s honor in Quincy, Massachusetts. Jasper Adams grew to manhood in Massachusetts. His travels in adult life took him from Massachusetts to South Carolina, where he gained his renown. While his career was spent mostly in the south he was a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, at Boston, and a Corresponding Member of the Massachusetts’ Historical Society.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

  • Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission
    The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission "The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats, it’s the boats that have changed." - Ernest Hemingway 2011 Annual Report 163rd Edition Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, With a new year came new challenges for the New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission. Dredg- ing of the main channels has created situations in which aids to navigation have been relocated, channels are nar- rower and the pilots jobs have become more difficult. The Commission made amendments to its existing regula- tions to ensure that state licensed pilots have the proper training and expertise to concur these challenges. Pilots are now required to complete a requisite number of trips on the routes for which they are licensed to ensure they remain conversant with the constant changes of the channels. We are scheduled to begin a new slate of interviews for the Maritime Pilot Apprentice Training Program. This process requires the designated Commissioner to devote a minimum of ten, eight-hour days to the evaluation and interviewing process used to select qualified candidates. Our Occurrence Investigation Committee investigated a total of twenty-eight incidents this year. Major accidents require over 150 hours of a Commissioners time to gather information, review track, review and transcribe VDRs and prepare reports for the Commission to review. The movement of buoys, the dredging of the channels and unaccommodating weather conditions has resulted in three such incidents in 2011. The first female Full Branch Maritime Pilot was sworn in at the Commissions February 15, 2011 meeting.

Viewpoint What would you do with a million dollars? I know what I'd do. After taking care of some essentials, I'd plan a little fun. Buy something I didn't need. Co somewhere I'd never been. What would the Commission do with a million dollars? Even at today's prices there is quite a bit we could do. We could buy 15 new vehicles, 20 new boats, replace a dozen The motors, and reimburse deputies for their boating safety patrol work and have money left over. We could present a hundred boating safety education classes, print the Boating Million Handbook, provide grants to schools to offer boating safety programs to their students, produce this magazine and still have money left over. In short, we could do many of Dollar the things the boaters of Pennsylvania have come to expect and need. Question But Pennsylvania is on the verge of losing nearly a million dollars in federal funding unless we do something about it. As many of you know,the Commission receives funding each year from the Aquatic Resource Trust Fund. This federal program is funded with revenues generated from taxes boaters and anglers pay on fishing tackle and gear, ex- cise taxes on boat motors and imported boats, and the tax imposed on the fuel used in boats. All together about $340 million is generated for this fund each year, some $200 million of which comes from motorboat fuel taxes.

  • Made in America the Blue Jays Land in Toronto, April 1977
    EMMA PLATOFF MADE IN AMERICA THE BLUE JAYS LAND IN TORONTO, APRIL 1977 In 1977, Toronto embarked on the ambitious project of bringing baseball to the Great White North. So eager was Hogtown to host baseball, that, having settled for a subpar stadium, city leaders took care to spell out the game’s rules, lingo, and mathematics to the newspaper-reading public, hoping to convert thousands of Torontonians into baseball’s first Canadian fanbase. The trappings of baseball culture in the States were an integral part of the move—from the songs to the drinks in the stands—all of which became incor- porated into a new synthesis of baseball and Canadian culture. Graham Ambrose, BR ’18, colorfully captures the Toronto Blue Jays’ thrilling first season and popular success. Visiting the machinators behind baseball’s rise to success as well as public’s reactions, the follow- ing pages are an immersive look into the pastime’s often-surprising first years in Canada. By Graham Ambrose, JE ’18 Written for “Quebec and Canada, 1791-Present” Professor Jay Gitlin Faculty Advisor: Jay Gitlin Edited by Christine Wang, Gillian Page, and Heidi Katter 29 MADE IN AMERICA Toronto alderman George Ben had earned a reputation for sternness. A veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War,1 Ben exhibited little patience for the more frivolous ventures of the Toronto City Council. Across fifteen years in public ser- vice, few such ventures proved more frivolous to the Spartan, Slovakian-born lawyer2 than the arrival of Major League Baseball in Toronto.
