NAME: NUMBER OF RESERVATIONS: AMOUNT OF CHECK: Scituate Historical Society p. 1 January H§\ §Q From the Editor As we begin a new year and prepare the January issue of the newsletter, we are reminded of the quote from the first newsletter dated March, I949. |Then it was called the Bulletin.| “ At the Annual Meeting last June it was suggested that the Society publish a letter or bulletin which would contain information as to the doings of the Society and give all of our members more insight into our activities, and which would serve as a connection between them and their Society, and promote the feeling that there was more to membership than the mere payment of dues, after which they were to be forgotten for another year. "A program such as this will be more interesting and helpful if the members themselves will offer suggestions and from time to time write articles on any subject pertaining to our Society or of historical interest in Scituate or elsewhere. We would be particularly glad to hear from those at a distance; these we will be glad to publish and in that way it is felt that a very welcome and important addition to our activities will be made.” Wilmot Brown, editor and president of the Society at that date, went on to thank those members who contributed to the newsletter and asked for more interesting material to "keep alive the history and traditions of Qld Scituate." Last month in the Do You Know section of the newsletter [this section, by the way, was suggested by member Cathy Rust] John Litchfield wrote to us telling about Scituate’s Declaration of Independence which was written one month earlier than the country's. Dorothy Langley was intrigued by the information and went to the town records and found the information (see below). The whole story then appeared in a local newspaper article including a phone interview with John Litchfield. Jarvis Freymann also wrote us a wonderful letter (see below) with more information about this event. This is what Wilmot Brown was talking about almost 50 years ago. The Society's members are fonts of knowledge about Scituate and the people who have lived here. Please share with us any knowledge, stories, anecdotes, etc. that you may have. Finally a special thank you to all of you who have written gracious notes of appreciation concerning the newsletter - we are deeply touched. Thank you. Do You Know From Jarvis Freymann's letter dated December 6, 1997: Dear Fred, I believe I have an answer to the question posed by John H. Litchfield in the Scituate Historical Society's December issue. The Scituate “Declaration of lndependence" to which he refers is fully recorded in Scituate’s Town Meeting Minutes for June 4th, I776. The full text (exactly as written, without corrections in spelling or punctuation) reads as follows: “Att a meeting of the Town of Scituate June ye 4th 1776. Said Town chose for a Moderator Nathll. Clap Esqr. It was put Whether the Town would give their Representative any Instructions agreeable to what is set forth in the warrent and it past in the affermative. ' Town voted to chuse a committee to Draw something to Lay before ye town with Respect to giving their Representative Instructions Viz: Willm. Cushing, Esq. Major Willm. Turner Capt. Joseph Tolman Capt. Israel Vinall Jnr. & Mr. Anthony Waterman. ' Town by Vote accepted of a Report of the above committee which is as Follows, -- Instructions to Nathan Cushing Esq. Representative of the Town of Scituate; June the 4th 1776. The inhabitants of this Town being called together on the Recommendation of our General Assembly to signify our minds on the great point of lndependance of great Britain, think fit to Instruct you on that head. -- The ministry of that Kingdom, having formed a Design of Subjecting the Colonies to a distant, external and absolute power in all Cases Scituate I-iiatorical Society p.2 January whatsoever; wherein the colonies have not, nor in the nature of things can have any share by Representation, have, for a course of years past, exerted their utmost Act & Endeavours to put the Same plan, so destructive to both countries, into Execution. But finding it, through the noble & Virtuous opposition of the Sons of freedom, impracticable by means of mear political artifice & corruption; they have at length had a fatal recourse to a Standing Army, so Repugnant to the nature of a free government, to fire and sword, to bloodshed & devastation, calling in the aid of foreign troops being Determined, as well as endeavouring to Stir up ye Savages of the wilderness to exercise their barbarities upon us & by all appearances, if practicable, to exterpate the Americans from the face of the Earth, unless they tamely Resign the rights of Humanity; and to repeople this once Happy country with the ready sons of Vassalge, if such can be found. We therefore, apprehending such ‘a subjection utterly lnconsistant with the just rights and blessings of Society, Unanimously Instruct you to endavour that our Delegates in Congress be informed in case that Representative Body of the Continent Should think fitt to declare the Colonies independant of Great Britain, of our Readiness & determination to assist with our Lives & fortunes in Support of that, we apprehend, necessary Measure. Touching other matters, we trust in your fidelity, discretion, & zeal for the publick welfare to propose & forward all such measures, as you shall apprehend, may tend to our necessary defence in the present threating aspect of affairs, or to the promoting the Internal peace, order and good Government of this Colony." l am surprised that this courageous statement of commitment and purpose is not better known to the people of Scituate, much less to a citizen of Worthington, Ohio. Perhaps you should make the text available not only to John H. Litchfield, but also to the Historical Society's entire membership. It is a document of which Scituate can justly be proud. Very truly yours, Jarvis Freymann Thanks, Jarvis, we agree. editor. Archives Corner In answer to the "Do You Know" item in the December 1997 newsletter Dorothy Clapp Langley, Former Town Archivist, submitted the same article that Jarvis Freymann did with this additional piece of information -- ". I searched at the Scituate Town Archives: Scituate Town Reports 1743-1780 - Vault locked cabinet - top shelf." Uncle Peakes’ recipe for "How to get along with your wife." Uncle Azar Peakes lived with his wife Celie, short for Cecelia, in the little brown house on the Country Way in North Scituate; Celie's father built it for her. He was Simon Wade. In those days one had an Aunt Mary and an Aunt Kate, an Uncle Job and Uncle Nate, but great uncles and aunts were called by their last names as Aunt Bryant and Aunto Otis and Uncle Peakes and Uncle Tilden. Aunt Peakes must have been very “tryin"’ for every morning dear Uncle Peakes went up into his cow pasture on the hill back of his house and knelt by the side of a big flat rock beneath a protecting cedar tree and prayed for grace to live with Aunt Peakes.

  • Massachusetts Commercial Fishing Port Profiles
    MASSACHUSETTS COMMERCIAL FISHING PORT PROFILES The Massachusetts Commercial Fishing Port Profiles were developed through a collaboration between the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, the University of Massachusetts Boston’s Urban Harbors Institute, and the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance. Using data from commercial regional permits, the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program’s (ACCSP) Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS) Dealer Database, and harbormaster and fishermen surveys, these profiles provide an overview of the commercial fishing activity and infrastructure within each municipality. The Port Profiles are part of a larger report which describes the status of the Commonwealth’s commercial fishing and port infrastructure, as well as how profile data can inform policy, programming, funding, infrastructure improvements, and other important industry- related decisions. For the full report, visit the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries website. Key Terms: Permitted Harvesters: Commercially permitted harvesters residing in the municipality Vessels: Commercially permitted vessels with the municipality listed as the homeport Trips: Discrete commercial trips unloading fish or shellfish in this municipality Active Permitted Harvesters: Commercially permitted harvesters with at least one reported trans- action in a given year Active Dealers: Permitted dealers with at least one reported purchase from a harvester in a given year Ex-Vessel Value: Total amount ($) paid directly to permitted harvesters by dealers at the first point of sale file Port Port SCITUATE Pro Located on the South Shore, Scituate has three harbors: Scituate, North River, and South River- Humarock.

    COMPARING POLICIES FOR ENCOURAGING RETREAT FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST Michael Graikoski and Porter Hoagland1 I. Introduction Along the US Atlantic coast, the lands and infrastructure located on barrier islands and beaches and in backbay estuarine environments face mounting threats from king tides, storm surges, and sea-level rise.2 From the late 19th century to the present, sea-level rise on the United States’ Atlantic coast has been more rapid than any other century-scale increase over the last 2000 years.3 Even slight increases in sea-level rise now have been hypothesized to significantly increase the risks of coastal flooding in many places.4 In New England, some of the most severe northeast storms (“nor’easters”) have become notorious for consequent extreme losses of coastal properties.

The 19th Century was a period of growth for this part of Boston which counted 150 cargo schooners entering her harbor each week. Main cargo items were lumber and coal. Authorities decided that a lifesaving station was needed at some point north of Scituate Harbor. Hull is renowned for its intense nor’easter storms and was the perfect location. Brave men who signed on for this rescue station's intense duty roster were hardy souls with the courage to clamber into a surf boat, plunge the vessel into rough seas and head out to rescue sailors being dashed against jagged rocks. The narrow, one-mile wide inlet is guarded by the 'twin sentries’, a lighthouse and the Hull Lifesaving Station.
