"Purchased 1841. The frigate Essex, the largest vessel ever built in Salem was 860 tons, length of gun deck 141 feet, breadth 37 feet, depth of hold 12 feet. Regarding the rigs of vessels much confusion exists. Most persons readily recognize the ship, the bark or barque and the schooner with from two to seven masts, but the older rigs, those entirely obsolete and others just passing out, are little known, — the ketch, the snow, the topsail schooner and the three forms of the brig. "The American brig is a two-masted vessel entirely or partly square rigged. There are three classes of brigs; — the full-rigged brig, the brigantine and the hermaphrodite brig. All are square rigged on the foremast (first mast) and in this respect they are all alike. The mainmast (second mast) is different in each of the three classes and it is on the mainmast where the distinctive points of differ- ence are found. "On the full-rigged brig both masts are made in three spars and both masts are square rigged. On the mainmast there is a standing gaff to which is rigged a small fore-and-aft sail. In other respects both masts are alike. [See Olinda and privateer Grand Turk.] "On the hermaphrodite brig, or half brig, the mainmast is made in two spars and carries no yards; but it has a fore-and-aft, or hoist and lower, mainsail and a gaff topsail. The mainmast is made and rigged like the mainmast of the ordinary two masted schooner; thus the hermaphrodite brig may be said to be half brig and half schooner. [See Cleopatra's Barge.] "On the brigantine [see Experiment and Sukey], the mainmast (second mast) is also made in two spars and has a fore-and-aft, or hoist and lower, mainsail and is like the mainmast of the hermaphrodite brig; but the brigantine does not carry a gaff topsail. In place of the gaff topsail there are two and often three yards aloft on the main- mast over the large fore-and-aft mainsail. On these yards are carried a square main-top-sail and, in the case of three main yards, a main- top-gallantsail. There is no sail carried on the lower, or main yard. These are small, light yards and are rigged and handled like the yards on the foremast. The brigantine might thus be considered as a compromise between the full-rigged brig and the hermaphrodite brig, and at a distance very much resembles a full-rigged brig. The small main yards, or jack-yards, as the yards carried on the brigantine's mainmast are often called, are in reality of but little use and are of more or less trouble and in many cases they have been taken off and a gaff topsail rigged in their place. In such instances, of course, the brigantine becomes a hermaphrodite brig. "The full-rigged brig and brigantine are entirely obsolete rigs and probably none of either class has been built in this country within the past sixty or seventy years. The hermaphrodite brig is also fast becoming obsolete and even as late as 1916 but four brigs of this class are found in the American register. "The topsail schooner is a two-masted vessel having both masts made in two spars. The mainmast has a fore-and-aft mainsail and gaff topsail the same as the ordinary two masted schooner. The lower foremast is made a little shorter than the corresponding spar of the mainmast and the topmast a little longer. The foresail is a fore-and-aft sail and has no gaff topsail; but aloft, over the foresail, there are three yards on which are carried a square fore-topsail and a fore-topgallantsail. There is no sail carried on the lower, or fore yard. The foremast and the sails carried on it are exactly like the mainmast of a brigantine." — Letter of Herbert M. C. Skinner of Fall River. [See H. H. Cole and Baltick.] The snow, a long obsolete rig, closely resembled a full-rigged brig, the difference being in the manner in which the fore-and-aft mainsail was rigged. This sail was set from a small spar which stood abaft of the mainmast and very close to it. [See description and illustration in Falconer's Marine Dictionary, editions, 1776 and 1815.] The ketch, an old and once popular rig, was a two-masted vessel which might be described as a bark without a foremast. The main- mast, in this case the first mast, was square rigged and placed abaft the middle of the deck. In old navies the ketch was used as a bomb vessel, the considerable space forward being favorable for working the mortar. [See Falconer.] Much altered in rig and the setting of the masts, the ketch with a fore-and-aft rig is a favorite form of fishing vessel on the coast of England. The ketch in some ways suggests the yawl, but the second mast of the yawl is smaller and generally set abaft the steering wheel; the yawl rig is frequently seen on yachts. As to the privateer, also, there seems to be a doubt in some minds whether it is a vessel with a special rig or maybe of many different ones. A privateer, strictly speaking, is an armed vessel of any rig, privately owned, with a large crew, sent out under a government commission for the especial purpose of preying upon the commerce and vessels of an enemy nation. A "letter of marque," the name often applied to the vessel itself, signifies the authority given from a government to a merchant vessel with a much smaller crew to be armed and equipped for similar purposes and altho primarily on a mercantile voyage, the vessel may pick up such prizes as come in her way. The term privateer is commonly used for both classes of vessels. The American privateers in the Revolutionary War and in the War of 1812 were often owned in shares for which the people of a town or neighborhood subscribed. The captured vessels and cargoes were condemned under law, sold and the money divided in certain proportions among the crew of the privateer and the owners; in many cases a very profitable transaction. Privateering differed from piracy in the commissioned authority from the government, the bond of the owners, the restriction of privateering to the vessels of the enemy and the exclusion of neutrals from attack. Privateering practically ceased with the treaty of Paris in 1856. Regarding the speed of ships: In April, 1775, the schooner Quero of Salem was chartered by the State Congress to take the American version of the story of the battle of Lexington to Benjamin Franklin at London. The Quero left Salem on April 29 in ballast and arrived in England on May 28, making the passage in twenty-nine days. The British official dispatches were sent on the Sukey, a vessel of two hundred tons, loaded. She started from Boston on April 24 and arrived in England on June 9, the Quero beating her, including the handicap, by seventeen days. Mr. Crowninshield states [E. I. Hist. Coll. XXXVII, 76] that the privateer America was under favorable circumstances a faster sailer than the modern yachts Constellation, Vigilant or Columbia. The America's highest speed was 13 knots, the Vigilant and Columbia have in spurts made 14 knots, but in long stretches the America was the fastest vessel; she was the fastest vessel afloat during the War of 1812. It is also interesting to compare Cleopatra's Barge with modern yachts, for she was of almost precisely the same dimensions as the yacht Mayflower, although her rig was as different as may possibly be imagined. In a moderate breeze Cleopatra's Barge made 8 knots and in a stiff breeze 10 or 11 knots as shown by tests made by log-line and glass and by a "Gould's patent log." The ship George of Salem made the passage from Salem to Cal- cutta in 89 days and from Calcutta to Salem in 95 days, which are thought to have been the quickest Calcutta runs to and from any north Atlantic port. It is stated by E. P. Collier in his "Deep Sea Captains of Cohasset" that Capt. Philip Fox of Cohasset in 1819 made the passage from Liverpool to Boston in the ship Herald in 17 days and in 1824, in the ship Emerald in 17 days, 3 hours; these were record passages for the period and were not surpassed until the clipper ships occasionally made the passage in 13 to 16 days. Examination of early log-books at the Essex Institute indicates that, in ordinary weather and winds, the old ships jogged along at about six to eight knots and in strong winds and gales at eight to ten knots. A record of 150 to 200 miles in twenty-four hours is a common day's run and from 230 to 240 miles in twenty-four hours not unusual, but a figure above that is rarely recorded. About 220 miles in twenty- four hours appears to be the average for single days in strong winds, while, of course, there were days and even weeks when little progress was made. With the clipper ships a greatly increased rate is found, — 300; 312, and 345 miles in twenty-four hours is recorded for the Dread- nought. Captain Clark in "The Clipper Ship Era" says that the Atlantic packet ships made from 12 to 14 knots under most favorable conditions, making the passage from New York to Liverpool occasion- ally in 16 days, but they "were commanded by men who kept them moving night and day in all sorts of weather." The clipper ships of 1852 - 1855 made the New York - Liverpool passage in 13 to 15 days under very favorable conditions. The Lightning of 2084 tons, built in 1854 by Donald McKay at Boston, once made "the phenomenal run of 436 miles in twenty-four hours, an average rate of 18K knots, which entitles the Lightning to the proud distinction of being the swiftest ship that ever sailed the seas. There was no ocean steamship of the day that approached her record by less than 100 miles and another twenty-five years passed before the Atlantic greyhound, the Arizona, made 18 knots for a single hour on her trial trip." The James Baines once made 420 miles in twenty-four hours; the Flying Cloud in 1851 made a run of 374 miles in twenty-four hours, "the fastest day's run, under steam or sail that had ever been made up to that time. She sailed a distance of 5912 miles, an average of 227 miles per day." Records may be multiplied but these given are sufficient to illustrate the difference between the clippers and the old-time ships that preceeded them. Of the Salem owned clipper ships, the Witchcraft, William C. Rogers, commander, in 1851 made the passage from New York to San Francisco in 103 days, the next year the John Bertram, Capt. Frederick Lendholm, made the passage from Boston to San Francisco in 105 days. These passages compare quite favorably with the general run for there were few made in less than 100 days although the fastest of all were made in 89 days, once by the Andrew Jackson and twice by the Flying Cloud of which Capt. Josiah Perkins Creesy of Marblehead and Salem was the commander. Between 1836 and 1860 a number of Salem vessels were engaged in the whale fishery, including the ships Elizabeth, Sapphire, Bengal and the barks Reaper, Statesman and Malay. More than one - hundred thousand gallons of whale oil were landed in Salem in one year and over one hundred thousand dollars in value of sperm oil. Finally, however, the enterprise did not prosper and at the opening of the Civil War whaling from Salem ceased. Whaling was also conducted from Lynn but the industry ended at the time the railroad bridge was built across the Saugus river in 1837 which interfered with the landing of the cargoes. [See "The Whaling Industry," Peabody Museum, 1908.] When the railroads were built in 1838 to 1850 the centers of trade were changed, Boston took the commerce from Salem and to a certain extent in turn surrendered it to New York. Nor were the great ships of later years able to enter Salem harbor, as the depth of water did not permit it. The change had been coming, however, before this. William Gray had moved his commercial activities to Boston, and the death of Joseph Peabody in 1844 removed one of the greatest commercial-marine factors in the community. Changes in other ways affected the foreign trade and Salem in 1850 had become the Salem of Hawthorne's "Custom House Sketch" in his introduction to the "Scarlet Letter." The lists of paintings of vessels, rigged models, builder's half-hull models, portraits, etc., are arranged alphabetically under their respec- tive heads.

Water-color painting, an undoubted replica of another, privately owned, signed, — "Antne Roux a Marseille, 1806," representing a vessel, surrounded by barrel-like planking, 25 being rolled into the water. A family tradition says that it represents the Eunice undergoing repairs at St. Paul Island in the Indian Ocean, which, however, took place in 1817. The two paintings vary slightly as would be the case where an artist duplicated his own work. The paintings are very interesting and unexplained. C. Also, copy by M. Macpherson of the signed painting. The painting owned by the museum is not signed. Excelsior, schooner, built by Ladd and Piper at Newburyport, 1848. Two similar oil paintings, each inscribed, — "Excelsior Salem." The Excelsior was for a long time the Custom House and Pilot boat at Salem.

She arrived in Salem in August, 1810, with 214 persons on board, many of whom belonged in Salem. The value of Salem vessels and cargoes confiscated at Naples at the time reached the large sum of $783,000. Franklin, ship, of Boston. Water-color by M. Macpherson, copy of original inscribed, — "Sch'p Francklin" and, on the back in pencil in the handwriting of Joseph Linton Waters of Salem, — "Ship Franklin, James Devereux, Commander, of Salem, Massachusetts, was char- tered by the Dutch East India Company at Batavia for a voyage to Japan in 1798 [1799], being the first American ship and American Captain which ever entered a Japanese port. [This last statement is incorrect as recent investigation shows; see below.] This picture was painted in Japan by a Dutch artist. 8 Pleasant St., Salem, April 12, 1878." It seems, 27 however, that "Captain Kendrick of the sloop Lady Washing- ton, which accompanied the ship Columbia as far as China on her first voyage around the world and remained in eastern waters, entered a harbor of Japan in 1791 and displayed the American flag there. His endeavor to trade with the Japanese was unsuccessful." [Hoskin's Narrative (manuscript), Mass. Hist. Soc; letter S. E. Morison, 1920.] The ship Eliza of New York, Capt. Stuart (?) was chartered at Batavia by the Dutch East India Company in 1797 for the annual trading voyage to Japan and ran ashore in Nagasaki harbor, November 17, 1798. "Fortunately she was refloated by the help of hundreds of flshersboats, which were thanked by the Captain with the present of twenty bags of sugar on board." [Com- munication of Prof. H. Yamasaki thru Leland H. Cole, Esq., accompanied by a photograph of a contemporary painting by Yushi Ishizaki of the rescue of the Eliza, together with photographs of other Japanese paintings and charts showing American and Dutch vessels in Nagasaki harbor in 1802 and earlier.] The ship Massachusetts of Boston was chartered by the D. E. I. Co. for the Japanese trading voyage in 1800, William Cleveland of Salem being the clerk; the ship Margaret of Salem, Captain Samuel Derby, was chartered in 1801. An admirable account of these early voyages to Japan, together with extracts from William Cleveland's journal, the original of which is in the Marine Room collection, will be found in y Ralph D. Paine' s Ships and Sailors of Old Salem, pp. 330- 375. There were two ships Franklin each in turn commanded by Captain James Devereux of Salem. The Salem Ship Register assigns the picture to the Salem ship which, however, was not built until 1800. Frederick Billings, four-masted bark, built by Carleton Norwood & Co. at Rockport, Maine, 1855, 2497 tons. Large oil painting signed, — "F. A. Morse," showing the bark leaving Havre, 1885.

Ward, 1799." C. Also, a full-rigged model, nine feet long and as high, made in 1803, [See Rigged Models]. The Friend- ship was captured by the British in the War of 1812. Friendship (2d), ship, of Salem, built at Portland, Maine, 1815, 366 tons. Painting in colors on a plate by a Chinese artist at Canton about 1820. While at Quallah Battoo on the Sumatra coast, February 7, 1831, the Friendship was attacked by Malays, five men killed and the ship captured. Later, with help from other vessels, she was recaptured and returned to Salem. On receiving information of the event, the U. S. government sent out the frigate Potomac and punishment was accorded the Malays by the destruction of Quallah Battoo. [See E. I. Hist. Coll., I, p. 15. Reynolds, Journal of a Voyage around the World, Chaps. VI -VIII, with picture of the destruction of Quallah Battoo.] The Friendship was sold in 1831 to Fairhaven owners and became a whaler. Garland, hermaphrodite brig, of Salem, built at Baltimore, 1847, 148 tons. Copy by M. Macpherson in water-color of original in oil by a Chinese artist. C. Also, one in oil showing the brig in a gale. Gazelle, brig, of Salem, built at Charlestown, Mass., 1826, 197 tons. Copy in water-color of original in oil by Benjamin F. West of Salem. 29 General Meade, U. S. transport (formerly S. S. City of Berlin). Large water-color painting by Ross Turner showing the embarkation of the Eighth Massachusetts Regiment at Matan- zas, Cuba, on its return to the United States, April, 1899. George, ship, of Salem, built at Salem, 1814, 328 tons. Five water-color paintings by Edmund Stone, a member of the ship's crew. One is inscribed "American ship George leaving Sand Heads, Calcutta, bound to Salem, December 28, 1820"; pilot brigs Flora, Eliza, Sea-Horse and Philip at right, the bow of the English ship Partridge at left. d. Another, similar, but without inscription. CL Another, showing the George off Baker's Island, Salem. C. Another, probably passing out of Salem harbor, d Also, copy of an original owned by George H. Allen. The George was built by an asso- ciation of ship-carpenters thrown out of work by the War of 1812 and was intended for a privateer, but the war ending she was sold to Joseph Peabody for the merchant service. The George was one of the most famous vessels in the Salem merchant service. Between 1815 and 1837 she made twenty- one voyages to Calcutta with the regularity of a packet ship and some idea may be formed of the character of the men who made up her crew when, of those who began service in the George as boys, thirty-five became ship-masters, twenty chief mates and six second mates. George, schooner, of Salem, built at Prospect, Maine, 1831, 68 tons. Small oil painting by William Henry Luscomb of Salem. Glide, ship, of Salem, built by Enos Briggs at Salem, 1811, 306 tons. Copy by M. Macpherson of original water-color painting inscribed, — "Glide Salem" and signed, — "Anton Roux fils aine a Marseille 1823". C,Also, copy of original in oil inscribed, — "Painted by G. Ropes [of Salem] 1812." The ship Glide was lost at the Fiji Islands in 1832. There is in the collection a manuscript journal kept by William Endi- cott, third officer of the ship, from 1829 until 1832. 30 SHIP -HERCULES" OF SALEM Painted at Naples, 1809.

Grand Turk, ship, of Salem, built on the South Shore, Mass., for a privateer, 1781, 300 tons. Painting on the sides and in the center of a large porcelain punch-bowl brought from Canton, China, by the ship, inscribed, — "Ship Grand Turk at Canton, 1786." The Grand Turk was the first New England ship in China. Undoubtedly this painting was copied by the Chinese artist from the engraved frontispiece of Hutchinson's Naval Architecture first published in London in 1777, or from some engraving from which this frontispiece was taken, illustrating the ship Hall, a typical ship of the period, with all sails set; the American flag shown in the painting on the bowl being added by the artist. A reduced reproduction of the Hutchinson illustration appears in Ships, Sea Songs and Shanties by W. B. Whall, Glasgow, 1913, as the "English West Indiaman Hall of 1783." [See also, Chatterton, Ships and Ways of Other Days, p. 264.] The Grand Turk was a successful privateer in the American Revolution, owned by Elias Hasket Derby and commanded 3i by Thomas Simmons and Joseph Pratt. She mounted twenty- eight guns and carried 140 men. [See Salem Ship Register for full account of the ships by the name of Grand Turk.] So far as known there is no picture of Mr. Derby's "great ship," Grand Turk, built in Salem in 1791. Grand Turk, brig, of Salem, privateer, built at Wiscasset, Maine, 1812, 309 tons. Water-color painting inscribed, — "Letter of Marque Brig Grand Turk, 14 guns, William Austin Commander, Saluting Marseilles, 1815" and signed, — "Anton Roux a Marseille, 1815." This is a beautiful example of Anton Roux's work; it is in perfect condition, never having been exposed to strong light; it is also unusually pictorial among ship paintings of the period. Grotius, ship, of Salem, built at Duxbury, Mass., 1829, 229 tons. Small pen and ink sketch by Augustus D. Rogers, son of one of the owners of the ship. Hamilton, bark, of Salem, built at Camden, Maine, 1846, 275 tons. Oil painting inscribed, — "Barque Hamilton, Captn. Charles Gill enterin Smyrna Mai 6, 1849" and signed, — "Raffael Corzini."

Macpherson of an original inscribed, — "Ship Hercules of Salem laying to in a heavy gale in the Baltic, Nov. 6, 1825" and signed, — "T. P. fecit." The Hercules was seized at Naples in 1809, the date of the larger painting, but was later released to take Lucien Bonaparte and his family to the United States, his sister Caroline's husband, Murat, king of Naples, furnishing the means. They left Naples on the Hercules August 5, 1810, but through misadventure were intercepted by the British cruiser Pomona and taken to Malta. Although Lucien Bonaparte did not reach the United States the Hercules thus escaped confiscation. The Hercules finally became a whaler and was lost in the Pacific in 1847 after forty-two years of successful voyages. 33 H. H. Cole, topsail schooner, of Salem, built at Baltimore, 1843, 98 tons. Oil painting by Clement Drew of Boston. Highlander, ship, of Salem, built by Samuel Hall at Boston, 1868, 1352 tons. Purchased by Benjamin W. Stone & Brothers, 1869, for $100,000.

Each picture has an explanatory inscription. For his achievement, Capt. William Mugford of Salem, the commander of the ship, received the Magellanic gold medal from the American Philosophical Soc. of Phila- delphia. The Archives of Useful Knowledge, Vol. Ill, No. 2, October, 1812, contains a description of Capt. Mugford's extemporized rudder with an illustration. C Also, full hull model, showing the method of attaching the rudder, made by Capt. Mugford and given the East India Marine Society at the time. The museum has documents and correspondence connected with the matter and the ship's sea-letter for the voyage, signed by President Thomas Jefferson and James Madison as Secretary of State. Union, ship, of Salem, built at Salem, 1802, 250 tons. Copy by M. Macpherson of original water-color painting. C.

Oil painting by Clement Drew of Boston. Volusia, ship, of Salem, built at Falmouth, Mass., 1801, 273 tons. Copy by M. Macpherson of original water-color painting by M.

While the drawing is very good, the date appears to have been altered and is more likely to have been 1870 - 1880 — or the whole inscription may be fictitious. White Swallow, ship, of Boston, built by Hayden & Cudworth at Medford, Mass., 1853, 1192 tons. Large oil painting by William B. Eaton of Salem, 1884. C Also, pencil sketches partly colored signed, — "A. W. Phaelan, Aug. 6, 1853." The White Swallow made a passage in 1860 from New York to San Francisco in 110 days.

Also, a photograph of another paint- ing which was destroyed in the Salem fire of June, 1914. The trip of this clipper ship from Portsmouth to Salem to obtain her register was enjoyed by a party of two hundred guests of the owners, — Capt. John Bertram and Mr. Alfred Peabody, — who were entertained with music, feasting and the recitation of an original poem by Jonathan Nichols. [See Salem papers of the date and Clark, The Clipper Ship Era, pp. 166-172.] The Witch of the Wave, Captain Joseph Hardy Millett of Salem, in 1852, with a cargo of tea, made the remarkably short passage of ninety days from Canton to Deal, England. Zaine, hermaphrodite brig, of Salem, built at Dorchester, Maryland, 1840, 158 tons. Oil painting. Zotoff, bark, of Salem, built at Newbury, Mass., 1840, 220 tons. Copy by M. Macpherson in water-color of original in oil. The Zotoff is referred to in Mrs. M. D. Wallis's Life in Feegee, Boston, 1851. 55 MISCELLANEOUS PICTURES OF VESSELS Brig with British flag, followed by a schooner with U. S. Custom House flag, entering Salem harbor. A large oil painting said to represent the bringing in of a captured prize during the War of 1812. The general appear- ance of the picture and frame suggests that it was intended for a fire-board; many such painted fire-boards were made in the early nineteenth century. Lugger and Cutter. French Lugger attacking a British Cutter. Oil painting signed, — "R[obert]. S[almon]. 1835." In the catalog of Robert Salmon's paintings, from his own notes, preserved in the Boston Public Library, a copy of which is at the Peabody Museum, there are two references to pictures of Cutters, but it is not possible to determine which is this one. Naumkeag, steam tug, of Salem, built at New London, Conn., about 1880, 35 tons. Sold to New Market, N. H. and thence to Machias, Maine, in 1884. Oil painting by W. B. Eaton, off Bowditch's ledge, Salem harbor. Ship coming out of Liverpool. Oil painting referred to in the Salmon catalog as "No. 29, Jan. 15, 1840. View of Liverpool from Cheshire"; the back of the painting is inscribed, — "No. 29, painted by R. Salmon, 1840." This is a fine example of Robert Salmon's work. 56 Steamer off Grand Manan. Large oil painting by William Edward Norton showing a porgy steamer with the island of Grand Manan in the distance. Topsail Schooner, American, 1790; also armed sloop. Water-color sketches by William Cleveland (1777-1842) made in 1790, while a boy of thirteen, on the cover of his writ- ing book at a Salem school. On one side is the schooner and on the other is a water-color sketch of an armed sloop with topsails. 57 SKETCHES IN WATER-COLOR AND BLACK-AND-WHITE Gore, Charles, England. Twenty-four water-color and wash sketches of similar char- acter, several of which are incribed, — "From Charles Gore, Esqr. 1787." One water color of a sloop is 14 x 11 inches; a brig, 12 x 8 inches; the others are smaller. Morse, George F., Portland, Maine. Thirteen pencil sketches, including thirty vessels of various rigs, made in Portland harbor in 1858. Among them are the ship Lombard and U. S. S. Corwin besides unnamed barks, brigs and schooners. The sketches are accurate, beautifully drawn and characteristic of the various vessels of the period. Pocock, Nicholas, England. Eighteen pencil sketches of naval vessels, some but char- acteristic bits, others more complete, which appear to have been made as memoranda for paintings. Among them are, marked in pencil, — Arethusa, Exeter, New Hope, Jupiter and Zephyr, Sir James Chute Comm. Probably all are by Nicholas Pocock and drawn in the late 18th or early 19th centuries. Fifty-four pencil and wash sketches of vessels of various types, mostly fishing and pleasure boats; — probably all are by Nicholas Pocock, a few may be of a later period. The Gore and Pocock sketches were in a collection purchased in London as the Walters portfolio, bearing a label, evidently placed there by the owner which is inscribed, — "Walters, Rough Sketches and Drawings, chiefly shipping, by Nicholas Pocock and some sketches of boats given him by Charles Gore." All of the sketch- es are good and some among the Gore lot remind one of Anton Roux's work. Roux, Anton, Marseilles. Twenty-seven finished water-color sketches of vessels, 10K x 7 inches, made by Anton Roux of Marseilles on a tour in the Mediterranean in 1816. The first page of the leather covered album of sketches appears to have been torn out, the first painting is of a ship-rigged vessel wearing the British jack on a white field and inscribed, — " Yath Louisa, a Mgr. le [name torn off] 1816" and signed, — "Ante. Roux a Marseille Delinea'r." The next is of a sail boat with two masts, taking ashore a party of men wearing high hats, inscribed, — "Epoque du Canot du Yath Louisa, a Marseille le 18 Dec'bre 1816." The remaining twenty-five sketches are of vessels belonging to the countries bordering the Mediterranean and include: — "Chebec a Latin Savoyard"; "Bombarde"; "Chebec a Quarre," a bark-rigged vessel with flag of Sardinia; "Pinque Genois"; "Feloque"; "Canari," with Spanish flag; "Demi Galeres," with flag of Savoy; "Brick," with Turkish flag; "Bateau de peche de Frejus"; "Bateau Boeuf de peche"; "Laout Catalan"; "Tartane de peche Provencale"; "Tra- bacolo"; "Sacolero"; "Polacre"; " Canot Francais " ; "Allege D'Arles charge de Fourrage"; "Mistico," etc. The sketches are exquisitely drawn in Anton Roux's unexcelled style and are perfect in their original coloring. Copies of all the sketches were made by M. Macpherson in 1910 for the Marine Room cabinet collection, the originals being kept in the fireproof at the Essex Institute. 59 PAINTINGS AND MODELS OF NAVAL VESSELS OF THE UNITED STATES Boston, U. S. Frigate, 28 guns, built 1799. Water-color, after French painting in Allen's Our Naval War with France. Chesapeake, U. S. Frigate, engagement with H. B. M. Shannon. Small water-color painting, old and probably copied from some early painting or engraving of the engagement off Salem, June 1, 1813. CL Also, large water-color painting by E. J. Russell of Boston from a "colored plate published in London, 1817." C. Also, a large water-color painting by Ross Turner, 1890, representing the battle at sunset, looking towards Salem. Owing to certain inaccuracies of detail, Mr. Turner preferred to call the painting "Naval Engagement: a study." C. Also, aquatint by Jeakes after Thomas Whitcombe. This memorable naval battle was witnessed at a distance by Salem people from the South church steeple and from Legg's hill and other points of vantage along the shore. Accounts of the funeral of Capt. Lawrence and Lt. Ludlow in Salem, when their bodies were brought from Halifax by the Salem ship-masters associated with Capt. George Crowninshield, and their temporary entomb- ment in Salem until removed to New York, may be found in the Sketch of Salem, by Osgood and Batchelder (p. 52) and in other local and general histories. E. S. Maclay in History of the U. S. Navy, vol. I, p. 466, incorrectly states that the bodies of Lawrence and Ludlow were taken to Boston and funeral services held there. 6o CAPTURE OF THE FRIGATE "ESSEX" BY H. B. M.

Full rigged model, five feet long, made before July, 1813, when it was given to the Salem East India Marine Society by Capt. Isaac Hull. It is the only accurate, contemporary model known and was followed by the U. S. naval authorities when restoring the Constitution at Boston, 1907. The museum possesses a signed letter from Captain Hull dated August 5, 1813, referring to his gift of this model; also, a most interesting bill of May, 1814, acknowledging the receipt of twelve dollars by Thomas Webb, in behalf of "English Prisoners of War" for "Repairing, &c, &c. the Constitution." It is said that the model was slightly damaged at a banquet given to Com. Bainbridge at Hamilton Hall late in 1813 where a salute in his honor was fired from miniature guns. The British prisoners were held in a "guard ship" in charge of Captains [Thomas] Webb and Upton. Bentley's Diary, IV, p. 291, Oct. 7, 1814, says, — "It [the prison ship] lays at the end of the wharf in the North river below the Universalist Meeting House and is left entirely dry half the time." In this vessel were the "prisoners of war" who repaired the model of the frigate which possibly was the means of their incarceration. C Also, oil painting about 1840. C^ Also, original water- color painting, Constitution and Java, by George Ropes of Salem, 1814, and reproductions of two others by him. C.

Fires in 1822 and at other times destroyed portions of the settle- ment and in 1856 the entire establishment was wiped out during the war between the Chinese and the British forces. Since then the little island of Shamein has been taken for the foreign residences; it lies just beyond the old settlement and before its present use was a sand or mud flat with small forts upon it. The Canton Fac- tories has always been one of the most widely known commercial settlements in the world.

The brass guns on the model were made by a native metal worker at Palembang, Sumatra. In the Daughters of the Revolution magazine, October, 1916, Edgar S. Maclay, in his article entitled Our Sea Forces in the Revolution, uses a deck view of this model of the Friend- skip and describes it as "a 29-gun ship of the Revolution" and refers to the spaces on the deck, the working of the guns, etc., knowing that the Friendship was a merchant vessel, built in 1797, as the label clearly showed in the photograph which he had in his possession and which he used.

Flying Cloud, clipper ship, built by Donald McKay at Boston, 1851, 1783 tons. Model by Herbert M. C. Skinner, scale | inch to 1 foot. The Flying Cloud twice made the passage from New York to San Francisco in 89 days, thus holding the record among clipper ships; her commander, Josiah Perkins Creesy was born in Marblehead in 1814 and in his later years lived in Salem. All of Mr. Skinner's models are worked out with great accuracy and are beautifully finished. To give some idea of the labor value alone of a finely made half-hull model, Mr. Skinner writes, — "The model of the Flying Cloud represents 151 hours of actual work besides 39 hours more spent in making drawings and patterns." It is the time, too, of a skilled artisan. Forrester, ship, of Salem, built at Newbury, 1839, 427 tons. Frank, schooner, built at Chester, N. S., 1860. Frank G.

Navy from its inception to the present time, vessels and men of the Navy in the Great War period, the whaling and fishing industries, light-houses, shore views, chiefly North American east coast, figureheads and stern designs, a large collection of the colored cards announcing the sailings of the clipper ships to California and Australia, 1850 - 1860, the his- tory of the American flag, history of the East India Marine Society and of the Peabody Museum, and photographs of special exhibitions held at the museum. This collection is an interesting one and has already proved useful to students of shipping, artists and designers. There are in the collections forty-five folio sheets of sail- plans, nearly all of Salem vessels, made between 1852 and 1877 by Edward Lane whose sail-loft was on Derby street, and who did a large business in fitting out vessels with new suits of sails and furnishing sails for newly built vessels. Most of the sheets have plans drawn on both sides. There are hull designs and spar-plans of vessels built by John Taylor and Justin Taylor of Medford and Boston, including the Salem ships Panay and Mindoro. There are also several volumes of engraved or etched plates of ships, some dating back to 1781: — M. Stalkartt, Plates of Naval Architecture, 1781, 16x23 inches, which belonged to Thomas Barker, an old-time ship- builder of Salem; Forty Etchings of Vessels, London, 1824, 11 x 8 inches; E. W. Cooke, Sixty-five Plates of Shipping, London, 1829, 9x6 inches; Arthur Bertrand's lithographic plates of vessels of various countries, 14 x 8 inches; Admiral Paris, Musee de Marine de Louvre, large plates, mostly of old vessels, 16 x 23 inches. The library contains a good selection of books and papers relating to shipping, especially such as are of local interest. Souvenirs of Famous Ships and Other Relics. Visitors show much interest in pieces of wood or metal and other relics, or canes and gavels made from the material of ships that have become famous in one way or another. While strictly speaking there is no scientific or historical value to such objects, they serve by actual contact to fix in 127 the mind of the visitor the historical event — the story of the vessel or of some person who made the vessel famous — so that the maintenance of such a collection is justifiable. The Marine Room collection of souvenirs is arranged in table cases; it is a gathering of all sorts of objects, roughly classified, each specimen carefully displayed and clearly labeled. It includes such objects as pieces of wood or metal from the Spanish ship Vizcaya, U. S. S. Niagara which laid the first Atlantic cable, Amundsen's ship Gjoa, U. S. S. Congress, Monitor, C. S. A. Merrimac, U. S. S. Constitution, Kearsarge, Capt. Cook's ship Endeavour, 1771, H. B. M. Guerriere, 1812, Somerset 1775, and many others. Swords and Other Arms. This collection includes : — Dress swords of William Mc- Mullan, Esq., U. S. Consul at Zanzibar, 1852 - 1856; of Captain John Crowninshield, worn by him at the coronation of Napoleon I; of Captain John Gibaut, presented to him by friends when Collector of the port of Gloucester, 1804; of Captain John Williams, U. S. Consul at Fiji, 1835. Cutlasses of Captain Nathaniel Silsbee (later U. S. Senator from Massachusetts), 1790; of Captain Henry King, 1818; the cutlass and pistol of Captain Nathaniel Weston, 1820; the naval sword of Captain Thomas C. Dunn, 1863. In the early days of Salem commerce all vessels were armed and all officers carried cut- lasses and pistols. In the enclosure in front of the building are the signal gun of the whaler Progress and a howitzer of old type brought from Manila. There are also in the collection boarding pikes and axes used in the days of hand-to-hand encounters on vessels, a "tower musket" for use by British marines during the American Revolution, taken in 1779; American musket owned by Capt. Thomas C. Dunn, U. S. Navy, 1863; musket from the whaler Progress, 1860, and other weapons. Knots and Splices; Chest Beckets (Handles), etc. A collection of sailors' knots and splices used on ship board and a number of curiously wrought "beckets," rope handles made 128 by sailors to attach to sea-chests, may be found in one of the table cases in the Marine Room. There are several excellent books on knots and splices which have appeared with the renewed interest in the subject and which may be obtained for consultation at libraries or purchased of book dealers : — "Knots" by A. F. Aldridge, Rudder Publishing Co., New York, 160 pages, illustrated, "Knots and Splices" by A. Hyatt Verrill, Henly Publishing Co., New York, 102 pages, illustrated. "Knots, Bends and Splices," printed in the Yachtsman's Guide for several years (in ed. 1908, pp. 173 - 184). "How to Make Knots, Bends and Splices" by T. E. Biddle, London, Norie and Wilson, illustrated, 18 pages. These books cost about one dollar each. A " cat-o-nine-tails " and a slung- shot from old vessels are in the collection, besides a piece of the cable of a vessel sunk in the Penobscot in 1779; a piece of a cable used at the launching of the U. S. S. Salem, 1907; and of the great cable used in towing the dry dock Dewey to Manila, 1904. Tools of Ship-Builders, Ship Carpenters, Riggers and Coopers. Many of the ship-carpenters' and ship-builders' tools date from the 18th century and a few probably from the 17th, all from before 1840. It is not certain for what purposes some of the tools were used. Among them are: — the axe used by Zaccheus Goldsmith, ship-carpenter who worked on the frigate Essex in 1799; the adz used by Retire Becket, the builder of the Cleopatra's Barge in 1816; besides other axes, large and small, some quite rudely made; planes of many sorts, augers, measures, primitive hammers, pincers, etc. The riggers' tools include an old set of serving-mallets of very large size used by New Bedford riggers, with reels and long arms arranged to gain great purchase, and a number of small serving-mallets from Salem ships. Among the coopers' tools are many from old Salem cooper-shops. This collection cannot always be shown but is reserved for special exhibitions. In addition are caulkers' tools, hammers, irons and caulkers' seats, from 1820 to 1850. 129 Anchors. In front of the East India Marine building on Essex St. stands an anchor eleven feet high received in 1906 from the Boston Navy Yard through the courtesy of the Secretary of the Navy, Charles J. Bonaparte. This anchor, originally weighing 4000 pounds, was hand forged about 1820 and under some great strain, probably during a gale, was given the very noticeable twist in the shank. As an anchor is the emblem of the Salem East India Marine Society, for whom the building was erected in 1824, the placing of this large, old-time anchor at the front is very appropriate. There are a number of small anchors of various patterns in the collection besides grapnels and sand- anchors and three fine killicks (spelled also killock and killagh) which have been in actual use. The killick, which is a stone enclosed in a framework of wood with wooden prongs projecting from the base, has been long in use on the coast of New Hamp- shire, Maine and the Maritime Provinces, in the British islands, in parts of Europe and similar ones are found in Brazil. One of the three in the collection, used as a mooring anchor on a sandy bottom at Hampton, N. H., is five feet high, the next in size is a boat anchor and the smallest, one foot high, for nets. [See "Killicks," R. Morton Nance, in Man, an anthro- pological journal, vol. XIX, p. 113; also, the same author in The Mariner's Mirror, London, vol. Ill, p. 295.] There is also a ship's drag or sea-anchor, used more than one hundred years ago, from the old store-house and counting-room of William Gray on DerbySt., Salem, destroyed in the fire of June, 1914, which when its heavy wooden wings are opened like an umbrella has a spread seven feet in diameter. The sea-anchor was used to keep a vessel's head to the wind in storms and one similar to this was used to haul against in a calm by the U. S. S. Con- stitution to aid her in escaping from the British fleet, July, 1812. Skeets. One of the most interesting objects in the collection is a "skeet,"made of wood, seven feet long, narrow, nearly half its length curved and hollowed to a scoop about three inches wide. The "skeet" is figured in Blanckley's Naval Expositor, London, 1750, and is "for weting yachts sails or the ship's 130 sides in the Summer Season." This specimen also came from the store-house of William Gray and is probably at least 125 years old. Lanterns and Lamps. A large, wooden framed cabin lantern used before 1750 by Captain Samuel Page; large iron framed lantern from an old Gloucester fishing vessel ; lanterns from whaling vessels, wooden and iron frames; port and starboard lights, red and green glass, before 1850; single convex lens used in the lantern of a light-house on Minot's Ledge, Mass., earlier than that destroyed in 1851; swinging pewter lamps used on old vessels and swing- ing candlesticks. Scrimshaw Work. An excellent representation of this cutting, carving and engraving by sailors, on whales' teeth and walrus tusks. The collection includes representations of ships, Chinchilla and Tamaahmaah on one tooth, Carolina Augusta, Elizabeth, Susan of Nantucket, Essex, Constitution and Guerriere, two ships engraved by Charles Erskine, 1838, whaling scenes on two teeth fitted end to end, other scenes and male and female figures and heads. These date from 1820 to 1840 and are all on whales' teeth. Also, jagging wheels, blocks, two swifts, one with much inlaid work, carpenter's square, bodkins, ornaments, busks, "pick-wicks," etc., made of whale pan bone and ivory, besides engravings on walrus tusks and on porpoise jaws. There are several boxes with engraved baleen sides but with wooden tops and bottoms and canes made from pan bone and sections of baleen, other canes of wood, souvenirs of well known ships. Miscellaneous. Speaking-trumpets used on Salem ships, one telescopic ex- tending to forty inches; another, ship Witch-of-the-Wave, 1853; another, silver plated, Capt. Addison Richardson, 1838. Ship- 131 masters' folding desks of mahogany and some of other woods made in China. Chinese leather covered, camphor-wood chest of Captain William Cleveland, 1820. "Cat-head" from the U. S. S. Brooklyn; portion of a greenheart plank from Admiral Peary's arctic ship Roosevelt. Relics of the U. S. S. Maine sunk in Havana harbor 1898, raised 1912, including a port light frame, 3 inch shot, cartridges and inscribed silver pitcher given to Com. Caspar Crowninshield, a former commander. Alarm or battle rattles from U. S. vessels of war, a stationary one from the U. S. S. Omaha, and hand rattles from other vessels. Memorial Gifts and Bequests. Many portraits, ship pictures, ship models, etc. have been received by bequest or given as memorials of persons connected with the Salem East India Marine Society or with the old-time commercial-marine activities of Salem. Among these are the Captain Charles Beadle collection of nautical instruments and books given by his widow; the Dr. Nathaniel Bowditch relics given by members of the family; the Edward Richardson memorial gift, nautical instruments, ship paintings, etc., given by Mrs. Kate S. Richardson in memory of her husband, whose father and grandfather were ship-masters of Salem and New York, the latter a foundation member of the Salem East India Marine Society; the Parker memorial gifts; the McMullan gift; Cleopatra's Barge relics, besides numerous portraits of merchants and ship-masters of Salem. The museum offers an admirable and appropriate repository for such gifts which are most gladly accepted and suitably marked. Relics of the Salem East India Marine Society. This society established the museum in 1799. The objects which were recorded as the first gift in November of that year are: — a "Batta pipe from Sumatra," "elephant's grinder," "wine-glass made from the horn of a rhinoceros," and "a Kemo from Tappanooly," the last being a shell of the giant clam, Tridacna. All of these are still preserved in the collection, having been on exhibition for nearly a century and a quarter. 132 ROPE-WORK From left; Chest beckets (3); imitation of spun yarn prick, for smuggling tobacco; spun yarn prick; stopper, to hold rope for splicing, etc. From left: Leg i OLD-TIME PUNISHMENTS i chain; hand cuffs; leg irons on bar; slung shot; brass knuckles; colt and cat- o'-nine-tails, for flogging; belaying pin of whale pan bone. In a standing case in the Marine Room are the punch bowls and the soup tureens given the society, — which was a social and mutual benefit club as well as a scientific institution, — and used at the annual banquets. Included are : — a punch- bowl of Chinese porcelain (so-called Lowestoft ware), 16 inches in diameter, brought from Canton by the ship Grand Turk in 1786 and so inscribed; two punch-bowls of Liverpool ware, 13 inches in diameter, with the Constellation and Insurgente engage- ment and other designs, inscribed to the socety and given by Captain George Hodges in" 1800; a punch-bowl of English Staffordshire ware, 12 inches in diameter, gilt and color decora- tions, the gift of the makers, Messrs. J. and W.

Hanging from the ceiling are two crystal chandeliers for candles, probably Venetian, given the society by one of its Presidents, Captain Benjamin Carpenter, in 1804. There are several decorated plates and pitchers in the collection, two candle sconces and many smaller objects connected with the social character of the society, together with documents, and autograph letters from Presidents Jefferson and Madison, acknowledging the receipt of the first printed catalog of the museum in 1821 and commending the work of the institution.

SHIP-BUILDING AND SHIP-BUILDERS Salem Ship-building in Salem practically began with the settlement of the town. Six ship-builders were sent over from England by the parent company in 1629, three years after Roger Conant settled at Naum- keag. Most of the vessels built here at first were shallops — a small vessel or large boat probably with two masts and lug sails — and it is probable that the six ship-builders were scattered thruout the colony. As early as 1607 a vessel of thirty tons was built at the mouth of the Kennebec river in Maine by the Popham colonists and vessels were built at Bermuda before 1610. The first vessel of any considerable size built in the Massachusetts colony was launched in 1631 on the Mystic river at Medford and named by Gov. Winthrop Blessing of the Bay. In Salem, the Neck was the chief location of the industry; Richard Hollingworth built a ship there of 300 tons in 1641; Joseph Hardy built the American Merchant of 160 tons in 1709 and Ebenezer Lam- bert built the sloop Betty in 1712 for which he was paid 240 pounds sterling, a goodly sum of money in those days. [See Felt's Annals; Osgood and Batchelder, Sketch of Salem.] Later, vessels were built at the foot of Norman street, at the foot of Liberty street, at the foot of Elm street, at Frye's mills near Goodhue street, and elsewhere. From 1655, the Beckets built vessels at a ship-yard near the present Phillips wharf at the lower end of Derby street and some member of the family continued the business in that neighborhood until the death of Daniel C. Becket in 1887, a period of 237 years. The most noted member of the family was Retire Becket (1754 - 1831) who built many of the famous Salem ships from 1798 to 1818, including 137 Elias Hasket Derby's Mount Vernon, the ship Margaret, the privateer America, and George Crowninshield's yacht Cleopatra's Barge. Enos Briggs (1746 - 1819) came from Pembroke, Mass., in 1790 and established a ship-yard in South Salem, west of the old Union street bridge on land now covered by the Naumkeag Mills. He built many fine ships, including Elias Hasket Derby's "Great Ship" the second Grand Turk of 564 tons in 1791; the frigate Essex in 1799, which, however, was built on Winter Island, and at his own yard he built many of the fleet of merchant ships owned by Joseph Peabody, including the Catherine, Francis, Glide and China. Elijah Briggs (1762 - 1847), a cousin of Enos Briggs, from Scituate, Mass., succeeded to his business and continued ship-building at the old location in South Salem. He built among other vessels the Gov. Endicott, the Amazon, and the brig Mexican made famous by her adventure with pirates in 1832. Christopher Turner (1767 - 1812), who came from Pembroke, Mass., had his ship-yard at Frye's Mills, near the present Goodhue and Grove streets. Besides the vessels built there he built at Union wharf on Derby street, in 1801, the sloop Jefferson for George Crown- inshield, Jr., believed to have been the first pleasure yacht built in the United States. Ebenezer Mann (1758 - 1836), also from Pembroke, Mass., a region famous as the nursery of ship-builders, came to Salem in 1783 and had a ship-yard at Frye's Mills. Among other vessels, he built in 1799, for Nathaniel West, the ship Prudent which met with many adventures during our naval war with France. David Magoun (1779 - 1850) from Pembroke, Mass., built on Salem Neck the ship Alfred of 200 tons in 1805 and, in partnership with Thomas Barker (1780 - 1856), also from Pembroke, built the schooners Enterprise of 200 tons in 1812 and Gen. Stark in 1813 in a yard off Derby street near Turner [see Diary of William Bentley, vol. Ill, p. 56.] The museum possesses a large collection of ship- builders' tools used by this firm, the gift of Mr. Barker's grand- 138 daughter. Some of the tools were used by her great-grandfather be- fore 1790 and are more than 130 years old. Elias Jenks (1781 - 1850) from Pawtucket, R. I. and Randall Hoyt (1793 - 1852) from Amesbury, Mass., built vessels in South Salem near the old shipyard of Enos Briggs, remaining there until 1843. This firm built the first Sumatra, the Borneo and the first Sooloo. In 1825, at Orne's Point in North Salem, William Cottle built the schooner Missionary Packet for the American Board of Foreign Mis- sions. The vessel was taken out to Honolulu from Boston the follow- ing year by Captain James Hunnewell of Charlestown, Mass., whose memoir published privately by his son describes the perils of the voyage. The schooner was but 40 tons displacement, 49 feet long and 13 feet wide and while very well adapted for service among the islands, her voyage out to Honolulu was indeed a dangerous undertaking. Justin Carter with a residence in Andover, Mass., built the bark Witch on Phillips' wharf in 1854 and, in 1855, he built the Europa referred to elsewhere, a ship of 846 tons, the largest merchant vessel ever built in Salem. Benjamin Hawkes, so Bentley states, was located near Derby wharf in 1818. He built the brig Leander in 1821 besides other vessels. Samuel Lewis built the bark Argentine, 298 tons, for Robert Upton in 1849 and the bark M. Shepard for Captain John Bert- ram in 1850. His ship-yard was in South Salem, now part of the Naumkeag Cotton Mills property. Edward Frederick Miller was born at Dartmouth, N. S., in 1821 and died at Auburndale, Newton, Mass., in 1908. He was the son of Tobias Miller and the grandson of Tobias Miller, an English army officer, who received a grant of land in Dartmouth in 1790. Edward F. Miller was apprenticed to a ship-builder by the name of Lyle at Halifax, N. S., when fourteen years of age. At twenty he went to sea on a Liverpool ship and was afterwards on a vessel which took the first railroad iron from Cardiff, Wales, to Cuba. It was at 139 time when pirates infested the region of the Isle of Pines and in defend- ing the ship against an attack railroad spikes were fired from the ship's cannon at a piratical vessel. About 1840 he was shipwrecked off Plymouth, Mass., and getting ashore made his way to Boston by stage-coach. Here he worked for Donald McKay on many of the famous clipper ships and also had a sub-contract in repairing the frigate Constitution at the Navy Yard. In 1848 he went to California doing some ship repairing at Panama on the way. From this venture he brought back gold enough to furnish capital to begin ship-building in a small way at Marblehead. He soon, however, established himself on the site of Enos Briggs' old ship-yard in South Salem where he built vessels for Captain John Bertram, Robert Brookhouse, Pickman, Silsbee & Stone, and others and through Capt. Bertram for New York owners. His ships were mostly used in the South American, African and East India trades. The bark La Plata held the sailing record for the river La Plata and the Taria Topan of 631 tons, launched in 1870, was the last large vessel he built. Mr. Miller closed his business in Salem in 1878 and moved to Newton, Mass. At eighty years of age he became interested in the publishing business and was one of the incorporators of the F. W. Dodge Co. of New York, pub- lishers of architectural and building-trades periodicals. [Letter from his son, F. T. Miller of New York City, 1920.] Joshua Brown was born at Greenland, N. H., November 12, 1828 and died April 8, 1901. He came to Salem in 1865 and began ship- building in the firm of Turner, Lewis & Brown, afterwards Lewis & Brown and Turner & Brown. Later, he bought out the Salem Marine Railway in South Salem, where he built vessels for several years and until he sold his yard to the Naumkeag mills and removed from Salem. Among the vessels built by Mr. Brown were the schooners Letitia, Prairie Flower, and clipper fishermen; he built the Harry Bluff, Alice, Lizzie A. Robey and Charles W. Parker. The schooner Alice was the fastest of the fleet and was sold to a firm of pilots in the West Indies after making a remarkable run while deeply laden and had outsailed the fastest pilot boat approaching Antigua. The bark 140 Albert was the last square-rigger built by Mr. Brown and afterwards he confined his work solely to building yachts among which were the Clitheroe, Idler, Sunshine, Tioga, Crest and Betty. Besides ship- building Mr. Brown engaged in a coastwise trade making voyages to the West Indies. During the height of the seal fishery he sent out the schooner Henry Dennis around Cape Horn to Fort Townsend, Wash- ington, where for two years successful catches were made. [Letter from his son, Harry H. Brown of Boston, 1920.] Andrew J. Frisbee was born at Northeast Harbor, Maine, April 26, 1829 and died in Salem, May 29, 1905. At the age of fourteen he was "bound out" to Thaddeus Somes of Somesville, Maine, and worked in his ship-yard until he was nearly twenty-one years old when he went to Essex, Mass., and worked in ship-yards there until 1859 when he went to Gloucester where he built a number of fishing vessels on his own account. In 1851 he came to Salem and established himself in business in a ship-yard on East Gardner St., adjoining the yard of Joshua Brown, in the region of the old ship-yards of Enos and Elijah Briggs, now included in the property of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company. There he built the three-masted schooners James B. Eaton of 203 tons, launched in April, 1872, and the /. S. Lamprey of 306 tons launched in October of the same year. The latter was the last vessel of so large a size built in Salem. In 1873, Mr. Frisbee removed to Hunt's wharf at the foot of White St., off lower Derby St., where he built yachts and did repairing on vessels until he retired from business in 1903. A number of hull models of vessels he had built were unfortunately lost with Mr. Henry W. Morse's collection of ship souvenirs in the burning of the Winne-egan hotel on Baker's Island, April 25, 1906. [Letter from his son Frank H. Frisbee, 1920]. Among other ship-builders of Salem were: — Samuel Leach, 1769 - 1846; Thomas Teague, 1769-1822; Thomas Webb, 1776-1815; William Hulin, 1779-1815; William Rowell, 1780-1823; John Beadle, 1782 . 141 Essex Vessels have been built at the town of Essex, earlier known as Chebacco Parish, from the time of its settlement and a type of boat with a sharp stern and without a bowsprit which originated there was known all along the coast as the "Chebacco boat" ("Jebacco" as Bentley writes it), but they are no longer built. The Marine Room collection contains a large number of builder's half-hull models from the ship-yards of Essex where so many of the schooners have been built for the Gloucester fisheries. The Essex schooners are famed for their good qualities and have gone to all parts of the world. Among the more noted vessels built at Essex were, — the Advance of Dr. Kane's arctic expedition, in which he sailed from New York in May, 1853, a vessel of 144 tons built by John and Leonard McKenzie; the ship Ann Maria, built for David Pingree of Salem, 498 tons; the fishing schooner Benjamin F. Phillips that won the fisherman's prize in the race of 1901 and the Esperanto of 1920; the whaling brig Viola, built by Tarr & James in 1910, a most successful vessel with great luck in gathering ambergris, but which disappeared and has never been heard from since leaving port in 1918. The largest vessel built at Essex was the steamer Vidette of 819 tons, from the yard of John James & Co. in 1880. In a single year, Andrew Story built thirteen vessels; Adam Boyd built in all 200 vessels the largest number recorded by one builder; sixty vessels were built at Essex in the year 1852. The Essex builders represented in the museum collec- tion are, — J. Horace Burnham, Jeremiah Burnham, David and Willard R. Burnham, Oliver Burnham, J. G. James (Tarr & James), Arthur D. Story, Albert Story, Horatio N. Andrews and Archer B. Poland, designer. On The Merrimac Many of the older Salem ships were built at Newbury, New- buryport, Amesbury and Haverhill. A full account of ship-building on the Merrimac will be found in John J. Currier's valuable paper 142 published in 1877. The Alliance of 1778 in which Gen. Lafayette was taken to France was built at Salisbury Point; this vessel mounted thirty-two guns and was a favorite in the new American Navy. In 1798 the U. S. S. Merrimac, commanded by Capt. Moses Brown, was built at Newburyport. The largest vessels from Essex County yards have all been built at Newburyport; the Atlantic packet-ship Dread- nought was built there by Currier & Townsend in 1853. [See Bradlee in E. I. Hist. Coll., vol. LVI, p. 1.] The largest merchant sailing ship built there was the Daniel I. Tenney of 1687 tons in 1875; the steamships Ontario, in 1866, and the Erie in 1867, each of 3,000 tons, were built at Newburyport by George W. Jackson, Jr. Gloucester At Gloucester many vessels have been built for Gloucester firms and to go elsewhere. Here, in 1713, Captain Andrew Robinson "gave a new name to our marine vocabulary and a new rig to the commerce of the world." He evolved the schooner from the lateen-rigged craft and as the vessel which he had built took the water, a by-stander shouted, — "Oh, how she schoons." Robinson instantly responded, — "A schooner let her be," and schooners ever since have been per- haps the best known vessels the world over. A good account of the incident with an illustration of the development of the schooner will be found in Babson's History of Gloucester, 1860, page 251. Rowley At Rowley vessels were built on farms and by the roadsides and hauled to the water by oxen, the largest venture of this sort was a vessel of ninety tons built on Rowley common many years since by Nathaniel Perley; it was named Country's Wonder and was hauled a mile and a half to the water by one hundred oxen. H3 Lynn Schooners and small craft have been built at various times on the Saugus river but no large vessels. For a few years prior to 1838 whaling was conducted from Lynn, five vessels being employed, none of which, however, were built there; a number of vessels have been owned in Lynn. Danvers Ira Story built vessels at Danversport from 1816 - 1865; several of his half hull models are included in the Marine Room collection. Marblehead Marblehead, while formerly producing fishing vessels and even brigs and ships — Mr. Lindsey says that nine ships were built at Marblehead between the years 1849 and 1855 — has become more famous, however, for the yachts and sea-planes of recent times. Marblehead's fame does not rest with ships and ship-building but with the ship-masters and sailors whose skill and daring have been recorded in every American history. [See Benjamin J. Lindsey's Old Marblehead Sea Captains.] Medford, Chelsea and Boston From the ship-yards of Medford, Mass., have come many Salem ships. Thatcher Magoun (1775 - 1856), who built the Henry Tuke, Brookline and other Salem vessels, was born in Pembroke, Mass., from whence so many ship-builders have come. After serving five years with Enos Briggs in Salem, he started business for himself in Medford where he built in all eighty vessels. At Medford, too, Sprague and James built the ship London, 368 tons, in 1827; the ship Paris, 360 tons, in 1828, and the steamer East Boston, 269 tons, in 1841, for David Augustus Neal of Salem. 144 I DESK USED BY DR. NATHANIEL BOWDITCH At which he translated La Place'= Mechanique Celeste. The Ocean Express was the largest ship built at Medford, 2000 tons, in 1854, and John Foster built the last ship in Medford in 1873. [See Brooks, History of Medford, p. 357; also, Ship-building at Medford in the Medford Historical Register, vol. I, p. 66.] By far the greatest number of large Salem-owned ships in the last half of the nineteenth century were built by John Taylor and his son Justin Taylor. John Taylor was born in Scituate, Mass., Oc- tober 13, 1807, and died in Chelsea, September 20, 1877. He was the youngest of six children all of whom lived to an old age. In the cus- tom of the times as he approached manhood he was apprenticed and served his time with Galen James, ship-builder at Medford and, in 1831, married Mr. James' sister, Eliza James, and to them were born three sons and three daughters. John Taylor became a prominent ship-builder of Medford, his yard on the bank of the Mystic river was not far from the old Craddock house. Here he built about twenty-five vessels which were launched broadside to the river there not being width enough to launch them in the ordinary manner. As tonnage in- creased it became necessary to have more room for launching so in 1850 he removed to Chelsea, Mass., where he was the first builder of note to establish a ship-yard. Afterwards he removed to a ship-yard in East Boston. In Chelsea and Boston he built about fifty vessels and his son, Justin Taylor, who became associated with him continued the business alone after his father's retirement. They built many ships for Stone, Silsbee & Pickman and Pick- man, Silsbee & Allen of Salem, for use in the Philippine Island trade, named for the islands of the group, — Mindoro, Panay, Sooloo and for Formosa. [See models and pictures of these vessels in the museum collection.] Among other vessels built by the firm were the Witch- craft, Syren, Aurora, Malay, Derby, all of Salem, and the Garnet, Pericles, Autocrat, Ellen Munro, Iceberg and George Washington. John Taylor was a member of the first Board of Aldermen when Chelsea became a city and he served a term in the Massachusetts House of Representatives but declined further political honors. He was a prominent member and a deacon of the First Congregational 145 Church of Chelsea, a genial man of solid worth. [Letter from his grand-daughter, Mrs. Mary M. (Taylor) Perkins, 1920.] Cohasset For a century after the American Revolution vessels were built on the "South Shore," particularly at Cohasset, for Salem owners or came into their possession thru purchase as will be seen by reference to these lists or to Mr. Collier's Deep Sea Captains of Cohasset. In addition to those of which the museum has paintings or models is the brig Charles Doggett, 1826, 100 tons, famous as the vessel on which Captain William Driver, after many adventures, conveyed the colony of Pitcairn islanders back to their home from Tahiti, and as the vessel also on which Captain Driver christened the American flag as "Old Glory." The brig Eliza Burgess, 1838, 167 tons and the bark Lewis, 1848, 217 tons, both of Salem, were also built at Cohasset.

He made many oil paintings of Salem vessels and his pencil sketches though small were excellent; unfortunately, however, few have been preserved. He married, in 1823, Mary Jane Gilman, who died November 6, 1874, aged sixty-seven years and six months. Schooner George, Pamelia, Rolla, about 1845 - 1855. Luz . . . . , John, Venice.

From there while a child he was taken the long and difficult journey to friends in Nova Scotia and educated, first at Pictou Academy and afterwards graduated at McGill College, Mon- treal. He studied law with the Hon. A. C. Macdonald and, enlisting in the Nova Scotia militia, became a Lieutenant and in 1866 Captain in the first Brigade of Pictou artillery. In 1873 he came to Salem where he took up music and art as a profes- sion and gave instruction in both branches. His gift for copy- ing the work of the old water-color painters was remarkable; from 1902 to 1914 he worked at the Peabody Museum repro- ducing the paintings of the famous Salem ships which he did with great accuracy of detail.

The son began as early as 1802, while he was a pupil of Michele Come, to paint pictures of vessels and continued to do so through life. During the War of 1812 he painted many pictures of naval vessels and naval battle scenes. In bus- iness he was a carriage and sign-painter and although deaf and dumb from birth, by his industry he was the chief support of his widowed mother and eight brothers and sisters, one of the latter of whom was afflicted like himself.

Chinese figure, 1838. 158 ' "HEAVEN AND THE DAY OF JUDGMENT" In 1806, Gen. Elias Hasket Derby, son of the Salem merchant of the same name, gave the East India Marine Museum the carving known as "Heaven and the Day of Judgment" and more familiarly as "Heaven and Hell," which the two sections of the globe respectively represent. This is undoubtedly the most widely known single object in the museum and for one hundred years the only object of this sort in any museum in the country; it has always been kept with the relics of the E. I. M. Society. These carvings were made in Flanders during the fifteenth or early sixteenth centuries and were intended for the terminal beads of rosaries for the wealthy Roman Catholic nobility. This one is an admirable example of these wonderful box-wood carv- ings. While it is but two inches in diameter, 109 full-length figures and heads are crowded into the two sections of the ball. The museum is indebted to Mr. J. P. Morgan of New York for a copy of the great illustrated "Catalogue of Jewels and Works of Art" in the Morgan collection, prepared for Mr. J. P. Morgan, Senior, in 1910, in which among other objects of art similar carvings are illustrated and described. BOATS AND MODELS IN THE ETHNOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS [Compiled by Lawrence W.
