IO, 1833, Woolwich, Maine. age, 77 Married, Mary Winship, Nov. 30, 1783, Woolwich, Maine. Mary's father, Rev. Josiah Winship, performed the ceremony. Mary Winship, dau. of Rev. Josiah Winship and Judith Goss Winship. Born, May 20, 1767, Woolwich, Maine. Bapt. by her father, May 24, 1767. Died, Apr. 30, 1825, Woolwich, Maine. age, 57 Both Capt. Samuel and Mary are buried in the N equasset Ceme­ tery, Woolwich, Maine. This cemetery adjoins the Nequasset Con­ gregational Church where Rev. Josiah Winship preached from 1765 to 1824. In Rev. Winship's church record it says, "Samuel Reed and Mary­ ford, wife of Samuel Reed, -Admitted Into Ye Church, June r8, 1786-." Mary's baptism record and her marriage record give her name as M aryford Winship, but in most records it is found as just Mary Winship. Their children: Josiah Winship, Capt. Samuel, Jr., Capt. Charles, Alfred. Capt. Samuel Reed married a second time, on Nov. 14, 1828, to Mary Brown White, widow of Robert White, who died Sept. 28, 1821. Mary died in 1859. No children. Following Capt. Samuel Reed's death his son, Capt. Samuel Reed, Jr., was made administrator of his estate by the Probate Court for Lincoln County, Wiscasset, Maine. ( Sagadahoc County was a part of Lincoln County until 1854). The committee appointed by the court to prepare the inventory record were: John G. Thwing, Ulrich Reed and John Thwing, Jr. The real estate inventory record follows: May 16, 1833: Eighty acres of land ( more or less) situated in said Woolwich being the homestead of said deceased to­ I 2 CAPTAIN SAMUEL REED gether with a two story dwelling house and out build- ings thereon $2,000.00 One hundred and thirty-four acres ( more or less) of Woodland in said Woolwich 670.00 One hundred and sixty acres of land ( more or less) situated in Town of Clinton in the County of Kennebec 160.00 Also, one lot of land situated in the Town of Bath in said Lincoln County with dwelling house thereon 200.00 $3,030.00 Capt. Samuel Reed served with American Naval Forces and on board American privateers in the Revolutionary War, and several members of the family have joined the Daughters of the American Revolution on the evidence of his Revolutionary War services. Following is a copy of a letter Capt. Samuel Reed wrote to General William King in which he tells of some of his war experiences and names several of the ships on board which he served. ( General King was the first governor of the state of Maine). In the letter Capt. Reed tells of being on board the ship Vengance in the Penobscot Expedition. This was the largest undertaking made by American Naval forces during the Revolutionary War. Several dozen American ships and several thousand sailors and soldiers attempted to capture the British fort at Castine, Maine, at the mouth of the Penobscot River, but were defeated by a British fleet that suddenly appeared upon the scene. The Vengeance was burned by her own crew to prevent capture by the British. Many interesting accounts have been written about the Penobscot Expedition. Richard M. Hallet has a chapter on it in his "Story of Maine." This is on record at the Maine State Library. Paul Revere of the "famous ride" was the officer in charge of artillery in the Penobscot Expedition. The letter: Woolwich, Sept. 15, 1823. General King: Dear Sir- I will give you a Short Statement how I spent my Life, in Part, in the Revolutionary War in the Early Part of the war. Being in Virginia I shipped on Board the Brig Lively of 14 guns John Balden Commander, then in the United States Service. We proceeded to Cape nicklow ? to Bring home some Cloth­ ing which had been sent there from France for our Army and we re- CAPTAIN SAMUEL REED 3 turned safe to N. Carolina. I belonged to Said Brig about Six months then shipped on Board the Ship Conclusion-Capt. Joseph Newman for Bilboa. Soon after Sailing was taken by an English Privateer and I was with them about five weeks when they took a sloop Belonging to ? from Surinam with a good Cargo on board, they put on board a Prize-master and three men and suf­ fered me to go with the Rest. One of their men, a Portigee, I soon made a Bargain with to join me and take the Vessel which we did after being on Board Eleven Days and we got her Safely into Egg Harbor in Jersey. I next volunteered my Services on Board the ship Vengeance, Thomas Thomas Commander in the Expedition to the Penobscot-After our Def eat I went Lieutenant of a Small Privateer out of Salem. Next I went Chief mate of a Latri­ mark Brig called the Addison Belonging to the Graftons of Salem. I next went two voyages mate of the armed Brig Lucy, Wm. Rams­ del Master, Belonging to Mr. William Gray and Mr. West of Salem. After that I went mate of a Latrimark Ship called the Iris, Stephen Clay Commander to the West Indies and Cadiz Belonging to William Gray and Mr. West of Salem. Since then I have not been much in armed vessels till I went in Mr. Davises Ship Kingston which was armed with 14 guns, nines and sixes, Showed twenty­ two. If the government Should fit out a Revenue Cutter from Bath I Should be glad to take Charge of her and as you are going to Washington if you think it will do to Recommend me, the favor will ever be acknowledged by your friend and humble servant. Samuel Reed (P. S.) No where in this state is a Revenue Cutter more wanted than to Cruise out of the Kennebec. The letter was addressed to "Hon. William King-Bath." *********** Capt. Reed apparently wrote this letter to General King to pre­ sent evidence of his qualifications for taking command of a revenue cutter if one were authorized for use in the Kennebec River to combat the extensive smuggling going on at that time and wanted General King to use his influence in Washington to have one authorized. The original letter is owned by Winship Appleton Reed of Wool­ wich, Maine and photostatic copies are on file at the Maine Historical 4 CAPTAIN SAMUEL REED Society; the Peabody Museum, Salem, Mass.; the Massachusetts His­ torical Society; the office of the Secretary of State, Boston, Mass.; the DAR in Bath, Maine; the Manuscript and Genealogy Departments of the New York Public Library and the Navy Department in Wash­ ington. In James Duncan Phillips' book, Salem in the Eighteenth Century, he gives an account of the Penobscot Expedition and also speaks of some of the people mentioned in Capt. Samuel Reed's letter to General King, namely: "Mr. West; Capt. William Gray, who was a soldier in the ranks, a sea captain, shipowner and Lieutenant, and the Graf tons." Following is additional data concerning some of the ships Capt. Reed mentions in his letter : SOURCES: Allen, Massachusetts Privateers in the Revolution, MHS Coll. v 77 Maclay, History of American Privateers Emmons, History of the United States Navy, Was. 1853 LIVELY, brig of Annapolis 14 guns, 50 men Comdr.

Destroyed by her own crew 14 August 1779 on the Penobscot River to prevent her capture by the British. Comdr. Thomas (Maclay. II7 & Allen, 314). Capt.

    SEVERE STORMS ON THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA 1770 – 2008 Jeff Callaghan Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Formerly Head Severe Storm Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Dr Peter Helman Senior Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Published by Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland 10 November 2008 This publication is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission from the publisher. ISBN: 978-1-921291-50-0 Foreword Severe storms can cause dramatic changes to the coast and devastation to our settlements. If we look back through history, to the first European observations by James Cook and Joseph Banks on Endeavour in 1770, we can improve our understanding of the nature of storms and indeed climate on the east coast. In times of climate change, it is essential that we understand natural climate variability that occurs in Australia. Looking back as far as we can is essential to understand how climate is likely to behave in the future. Studying coastal climate through this chronology is one element of the process. Analysis of the records has already given an indication that east coast climate fluctuates between phases of storminess and drought that can last for decades. Although records are fragmentary and not suitable for statistical analysis, patterns and climate theory can be derived. The dependence on shipping for transport and goods since European settlement ensures a good source of information on storms that gradually improves over time.
