CTlV!TIES AND INTERACTION WlTII TilE

Nantucket community are the very essenc of the Nantucket Historical A sociation's mission. At its heart, the NHA i about p ople and how they benefit from its programs, its collections, its historic sites, its participation in the community - ali wrapped in its commitment to the heritage of Nantucket. Reflection on the NI lA 's involvement with its commw1ity led me to muse n the various scenarios that were painted throughout 1997. A young boy rises eagerly to get to the yrus Peirce Middle School. Today, his sixth-grade cla s i going lO visit the NHA for hands-on whaling activities. A young girl can't wait to get home to shar with her mother what she learned at a field trip to the P tcr l·ou lger MuseLUTI and the Away Off Shore exhibition. A group of students return to their homes off-island f111ed with the magical day they had on Nantucket xploring its great past with NHA staff members. A summer visitor strolls out of the Quaker Meeting House filled with peace and mu ic after a concert that transported listeners back in time. A young family leaves the Whaling Museum stu! mesmeriz J by the yarn spun by docent Bob Allen. A lively discussion takes place over coffee after th stimulating lecture by Walter Hayes, which recounted th writing f his book The Captain /rom Nantucket a11cltbe Muti11v 011 the Bow1ty. The Nantucket High School is filled with excitement at the opening of the Nl [A's August Antiques :how, as the crowds drink in the almost overwhelming display of beautiful antiques. On Straight Wharf browsers and buyer wander through Sailor's Valentine allery in th Nl !A's Thomas Macy Warehouse and Rosa Rugosa in the adjoining Little Gallery, enjoying not only the merchan elise but tl1e buildings as well. The Old Town Building is bustling with the activities of several small island busi nesses that lease space from the NllA- making it pos sible to maintain other properties. A visitor to the i land goes home with perfect gifts from the NHA's Museum Shop, while a resident is pleased to have found rugs for her house, plat : for her dining table, jellies for her cupboard, books for her library, and wedding gifts for her friend's children; everything on her list is also from th Mu cum hop. The tour bus stops by the Old Mill to watch the sails soaring against the blue sky, providing the power to NANTUCKET

grind corn as it has bc<.:n doing for c<.:nturies. A y ung boy wanders around and throuph the ( )[d Caol, imagining the prisoners incarc<.:nltcd in th<.: dark confined space with no possibility of l'Slape. 1\ vtsit to the !loseart !louse stirs images of thL· grc;ll fire of the nineteenth century in an old tii11L't '' ho has lived on Nantucket all his life; and he l ,111 't hdp but think how inadc<.juat<.: the little hand ptunpL·d hosL' cart must have been to fight th · ntvagL's of fi rl·.

event of the year occurred in its closing da ys wh en a fort y-s vc n-foot p rm whale b each ed on th e shores of 'Sconsel. Despite a dram ati c outpouring of communi ty support for the stranding teams and the cienti ts from ll arvard, the New Engl;md Aquarium, and the National Marine Fishery, th e whale ex pir d. NIIA staff work d with other volunteers for over a week to h lp perform the necropsy and to salvage the whale's skeleton, teeth , ;tnd spermaceti . Spurred on by the excitement of participants ,tnd observe rs, and th e urgin g of th e press, we applied to the .S. Department of Commerce and regional offices of th e National Marin e Fi she ry for designation as th e re pos it o ry o f th e sk let n and whale oil - a des ignation th at will have momentous consequences ror our ruture programming, ex hibitions, and building plans and an immediate impact on th Nâ&#x20AC;˘l t\ 's budget. But the "whale even t" simply brought to a surprising conclusion a Cull year or innovative and exciting ev nts. Those activities arc the focus of this annual r port, \\ri cl1 particular emphas is on hands-on programs for chool groups and su mm e r wo rk shops fo r children. Th e breadth of ideas, sen e of dedication and achiev ment , and mix of fu n and hard wo rk arc evid ent in taff reports and photographs of participants throughout this issue of !I i1toric Na11 tnc/.xt. The issue is really about people: a small but amazingly inventive and energetic staff who, through their ideas, ex hibitions, interactions with th ' public, and stewardship of the priceless co ll ec tion s or antu cke t's material culture, create and deliver the programs or th , II A; a growing and tal Âˇntcd core of volu nteers without whom our programs would not be possible; and the circles of support th at begin with memb ' r hip and ex tend into highl y specialized inter sts in the community at large. The 1 resident, the boa rd or trustees, committees, and advi ors guide the process. Together they provide the extraordinary lead r hip that permitted us to plan a full schedule of v nts in 1997 with an ex pense budget of $1,525 ,333 and brought us through wim an operating surplus - for the fourcl1 year in a row.

by Jean Weber

exceeded its goals in 1997 with 275 new members and 162 renewals at higher J vels. A new data base to track membershit s and donor funds was put into full operation and proved its accuracy and flex ibility. At the three museum sites, we placed new computerized cash registers designed to capture, for th e first tim , a range of information about visitor statistics and demographi cs. Th ese two program s have greatly impr ved int rnal management of funds and have provided a wealm of information to help us evaluate our membership services and public programs.

1997 attendance at all NHA sites and pro grams totaled 102,3-19. The number of 1 ctures, special programs, and children's workshops was nearly double cllat of previous year, thanks to public programs coordinator Jeremy Slavitz, tl1e docents, and volunteers. Many of cllC programs w re developed cooperatively with other organizations in a special effort to form a shared and ex pand d approach to interpretation of historic resources on th e island.

+ "Carefully Inwrought":

antucket eed!etl)ork 1797-1997, opened in May at the Fair trect Museum. Following extensive research and con servation, many of the early samplers in the NJ fA collection conveyed the importance of needle work in the education of young antuckct women. The exhibit was organized and texts written by registrar Aimee ewell with the assistance of volunteer usan Boardman, who also gave a lecture in the adjacent Quaker lc.:ct ing House in a series of programs de igncd to detail the history of needlework and early textiles. The exhibition closed in October, wirh the Massachusetts Quilt Documentation Project in residence for three days to document historic quilts in the IIA and private antucket collections.

+ The small con ervation laboratory built at Gosnold Center was equipped this past summer, and two painting conservators from the Winterthur fine arts graduate program were in residence working on the early antuckct paim ings collection. Other paintings were taken for conservation to the Williamstown Art Conservation Center and the Lyman Allyn Museum. The intense effott, supported in part by the Jane Egan Memorial Art on antucker Fund, established by Mr. and Mrs. Albert F. Egan, Jr., is in preparation for a major exhibition of antucket paintings in the summer of 1998 at the Peter FouJger Museum and for the publication of a catalogue of the paintings collections with extensive new research. + For the fourth season, the Religious Society of Friends and cellist Mollie Glazer organized, with the NHA, an early-music concert series in the Quaker Meeting I louse. The setting is ideal for small chamber-music performances. Space is lim itec.l but the acou tics arc superb and the atmosphere intimate. Supported in part by a grant from the Boyd Endowment of the Nantucket Arts Council, the highlight of the 1997 series was the program "New England Annoyances: Music of and about Puritan Life, 1590- 1660." Created especially for our concert series, the program combined song, spoken word, and music played on early instruments: renaissance flute, cittern, lute, the01·bo, and viola da gamba. + The board of trustees appointed Renny Stackpole an Nl IA Research Fellow at the Annual Meet inn on July 10.

FRIENDS OF THE NHA Painting Acquisitions

ll£ FH.fCNDS OF Tl lE NANTUCKET f-llSTORICAL ASSOCIA'OON

purchased three paintings for the NHA collection at the August 2, 1997, auction held by Raphael Osona in Nantucket: a portrait of Captain Isaac Hussey by an unidentified artist, a cabinet portrait of Thom as Jenkin s Hussey by an unidentified artist, and a portrait of Peter Folger by Eastman John son. All three paintings have descended in the Hussey family and have strong Nantucket origins. aptain !Ius ey (1807-1852) was a antucket whaling captain who endured two mutiniesthe second one taking his life. The NHA already owned a logbook from one of Hussey's voyages and assorted letters and accounts of rhc mutinies. The painting of Captain Hus ey's brother Thomas (1810-188.3) is significant for cultural and historical rea sons. Little is known about Thomas Hussey other than he died single and insane. Both portrait provide vi ual documentation of nineteenth century ~mtucketers - not common- and are now valued items in the NHA collection. The third portrait, of Peter Folger (1812-188.3), who married Mary Seaman Hus ey, was painted by neighbor and close friend Eastman Johnson ( 1824-1906). Well known for his portraits and genre paintings, Johnson summer din Nantucket with his family for much of his life. lle used Folger as a subject in a number of hi paintings, in luding The Justice of tbe Peace, owned by the Nl lA. The new portrait had been previously unknown to cholars o[J ohn on's work. It is indeed an important addition to th NHA co!Jection.

Nineteen ninety-seven saw another active year for the NHA's curatorial department. Great tride were mad in the documentation and consetvation of our painting collection, and visitors were treated to a long-anticipated exhibition of Nantucket needlework. Curated by registrar Aimee Newell with the a sisranee of volunteer Susan Boardman , the exhibition "Carefully Inwrought": Nantucket Needlework 1797-7997 opened at the Fair Street Museum in May and featured remarkable and rarely seen n dlework samplers, quilts, and associated artifacts from the NHA's extensive collection. The assembled artifacts beautifully expressed eighteenth- and nin te nth-centu ry women 's artistic ideals and traced the evolution f women 's education and popular tastes on antu kct. The exhibition was further supplemented by illu trared lectures on needlework by u an Boardman and Cl c Krueger. Members of Massachusetts Quilt , a docu mentation project of the New England Quilt Mu eum. also visited and offered island quilt owner the chance to learn more about their needlework heirlooms. The popular exhibition of Nantucket hi tory, Jlu•av Off Shore at the Peter FoLJger Museum , was open to visitors for one final season. In pired by tbe b ok of the same name by island historian Nathaniel Philbrick, the well-received exhibition displayed some of the I IA 's most treasured artifacts in a broad view of the island's history. Interesting new acquisitions were displayed at the exhibition First Viewing h ld at the [ Iadwen llouse galleries.

Public Progt·ams and Education Department The past year proved to be <l success for the public programs and education department. Admissions and revenues in our museums and historic houses were up five percent and six percent respectively. During the course of the season more than I00,000 visitors attended our exhibits and participated in our public program .

Museum Shop The Museum Shop had a comparatively strong season. achieving ninety-five percent of its estimated net goal and transferring it to the Nantucket Historical Association. I am pleased to say that the Museum Shop staff rose to the occasion and triumphed over the t\ugust UP trike and sunny conditions that resulted in more beach days than shopping days. With the ongoing challenge of following the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century whaling-era theme, the Museum hop introduced many well-crafted items to its selection in 1997.

REPORTS

Membership I remember attending my first meeting of the membership committee prior to becoming a board member. Many topics were discussed, but what stood out for me above everything else was a statement by our then new executive director Jean Weber, who said, "Memb rship is the cornerstone of support for our organization." At the time it seemed a simple and obvious tatement, but a I became more involved with the NHA and the membership committee, I came to realize how critically important active membership is to the health of ur organization. To that end, we have directed our attention to increasing our membership base and better serving our members. In 1997, we began to see the result of those efforts. I an1 pleased to report that we have experienced increases at all levels of membership. I am mo st impressed by the number of existing members who have chosen to raise their level of membership. The Thomas Macy Associate, our highest level of memb r hip , showed the greatest percentage increase. By rai i.ng their commitment, members expressed their confidence in the NHA and its continuing mis ion. It i also rewarding to see the growing support of the business community, which doubled its membership in 1997 and shows promise for further growth. In conclusion, I feel that 1997 was an excellent year for membership development. Thanks go to our hardworking staff person, Christina LeBlanc, the many board members who have supported our efforts, and to you our "cornerstone"- the member of the NHA. Thank you.

Positive operating resLJts for the year renccted betterthan-projected income in the areas of admissions, the Antiques Show, membership, speci<J events, and property rentals; total spending was kept below budget. It is particularly encouraging to note that gross income from the Antiques Show totaled $306,209, up from $191,073 in 1995; and that membership receipts were $153,025 in 1997 compared to $106,696 in 1995. These increases would seem to be positive indications that, through the activities of effective volunteers and

LOG OF THE BARK

Houqua

I( I' I

N 1997 PAT GARD 'ER DONATED THE log of the bark Houqua (1861-1863) to tbe NHA, which possesses a substantial collection of materials that docLmlent Nantucket's trade with China. Mo t of ilie materials are artifacts such as paintings and porcelain or docwnents such as letters and insurance policies; the association owns very few logbooks iliat record the voyages of vessels in the China trade. The Houqua was not a Nantucket vessel, but it was captained by a Nantucketer, William Cartwright, and many of its crew were from Nantucket. The log was kept by Frederick G. Myrick (1843-1864). This is the last log for the l-louqua. On its next voyage, in 1864, the ship fmmdered during a severe Pacific typhoon, and many Nantucketers, including Myrick and Cart:\vright, lost their Jives.

Only through the antuckct Ili srorica l Association's Children's Program are the e curious skills and valuable knowledge taught, because only on Nantucket does there stand the oldest operating wind mill in America and only antucket wa the small farming community turned whaling capital of the world. For the past three years I have taught in the hildren 's Program -a program that aids the pre crvation of rht.: unique and bountiful culture of my community and keeps it alive for future generations. Every Tuesday at the Whaling l'vluseum, children "learn the skills necessary to sign on to a whaling \ 'O) age." Children learn exactly how a wh<llc was found. caught, and subjected to the process of "cutting in" (the extraction of goods from the whale) <md for \\'hat reasons whales were killed. Next, they learn five knots. Polly Clinton, each an essential part of the whaler's "knot dictionarv ": ]enn Dowell, and Alfie the figure-eight knot, square knot, bowline, two h-alf Beman (at far right) bitches, and the sheepshank. The bowline, tht.: strongL'St witb chtldren outstde knot they learn, is a loop knot that will not cinch up tbe Oldest House. (perfect for a dog collar, because you don 't want to choke your poor pet!). Photograph by On Wednesdays, we move the session outside, to the Doris N. Stinpson Old Mill. Built in 1746, the mill still grin Is corn todav. After the chillrcn hoi~t the sails up onto the vane of the windmill, they watch in awe as tiK') start spinning. These will be the few children in the country who can say that they have ever hoi stt.:d sails up a fully opera tional windmill. Then we travel to the Oldest House on the island

Creating Lasting Memories

Y I \\'0 IU I I. ,\11 .(1.1() RY 0 1Âˇ II t>U BLI C

program o!Tered by the Nl !A was created long before my employmen t here. I was in 1he eighth grade, and once a week our fir t-period class pikd into a brown van with Renny Stackpole to visit one of the museums. The field trips were by no means life changing experiences. or did I suspect they were opening my eyes to future pos ibilities. At twelve, I was morLÂˇ concerned with hanging out at the Boys Club and ingesting 100 much suga r. To be honest, I do not recall anv1hing we did most of those mornings. Except for one field trip.

How many times have you in1agi.ned what it would be like to pick something up to see how it works or how it feels? While we may not be permitted to touch museun1 artifacts (handling puts them at risk) , we can use facsimiles or substitutes to give children a powerful sense of understanding. Later, when they read Melville, the children will draw on their experiences with the NHA. That experience will connect them to Ishmael on a personal level and they will travel with him as he mans an oar in Starbuck's whaleboat in pursuit of the mighty white whale.

on the museum for two days to participate in hands-on activities that highlight and reinforce the work they have done. Activities include exploring the natural hi t01y of whales, playing games based on their knowledge of whaling history, a first-hand viewing of whaler's log books, singing sea chanteys, and creating their own scrimshaw. During the development of this program we have worked closely with the teachers to create an inrer disciplinaty curriculum, providing not only the I IA 's resources bur experts from other in rirurions. In the most recent program, the IlA was assisted b y Nathaniel Philbrick, HA research fellow and director of the Egan Institute of Maritime rudies, Don Sineti; a chanteyman from Mystic Seaport; and Ann Smircina, an educator from the Gerry E. tudds/ rcllwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. In the fall of 1998 the program will continue to evolve. The NHA and the teachers arc already working on ways to improve the current program. One of the most interesting possibilities being discussed is an exploration of the depiction of whales in the art and lit erature of other cultures. hildrcn will compare the images of whales in the Whaling Mu cum with those found on works as diverse as ancient Greek pottery and the Native Americans of the Pacific orrhwesr.

The earliest books of vital statistics are missing, so the names come down to us beginning only in the early 1700s. At that time the Religious Society of Friends had on ly recently established a meeting on the island and had already taken a public stand against lifelong servitude. onetheless, it would take until 1773 for slavery to be abolished on the island and until the mid 1800s for pubLc school first to be established and then racially integrated. Back in the 1700s, Friends still held Africans in slavery here, and in the vital statistics we see marriages between "colored " couples where one or both of the parties have but a single name, a potent identifying flag of slavery: Manuel married Elizabeth Ellit in 1720. Briston married Rose in 1751. ancy married Robin in 1754. Pegg married Toby in 1755. Ce ar married Ann Ichabod in 1763. Boston married KeziaJob in 1764. Boston (again, or another Boston?) married Saral1 Wok the next year. Timit married Bash Twina in 1766. Pompey married Maria Boston in 1771.

marriage records show us most Africans (a nd some Native Americans who survived the devastating epidemic of 1763-64) as having both given name and surname: Simon Porridge married Hannah Jam son, and Seneca Boston married Thankfull Micah in 1770.

In 1773, Joseph Painter married Priscilla Simon, Comfort Simons married Edward Jones, and Thomas Tompson married Anna Trow.

In 1774 Richard Philips married Viner Pompey, Rachel Tompum married James Esop, and J oseph Painter marri ed anoth e r Priscilla- thi s time Priscilla Asher. Comfort Simon and Richard Wampe were married in 1778. Desire Pompy and Uriah Samson were married in 1782. Joseph Painter (unlucky man!) was married a third time in 1784, this time to Phillis Win . In 1785 Tamesin Nichol so n marri ed Moses Barlow, Sally Rafe married John H a rri s, and William Pompey married Priscilla Boston (a join ing of two great clans). Mary Boston m a rried Samuel John son, and Daniel Gardner married Anstros Allen in 1788. Phillis Simson married Samuel H ero, and Tom Carter married Betsey Peters in 1789. Venus Peters married Francis Smith in 179 1.

In 1792 Isaac Freeman married Dorcas Esop, and Maty Carter married David Rice. In 1793 Cesar Godfrey married Phebe Boston, and Jack Freeman married Lois Asher. Charlotte Boston married Phillip Winslow in 1797? and moreover in that year Joseph Talm<m marned Chloe Golden, London arion married Roxana Fortune, John Thomas married l Iannah Frost, and Ephraim married Grace Pompey. This is not a full accounting of the marriages registered between people recorded as "colored ," and I will leave off with the end o f the 1700s except to note an interesting union many years later. In 1837 David Mal ~~e of.Barre and Eliza Stearns of Ma rtiniqu e were JOmed m matrimony here on antucket Island , in perhaps a vety early manifestation of what is now known as a "destination" wedding.

the twins Mary and Priscilla in 176~. Phebe in 1771 , Lucy in 1774, and Prince in 1777. It is a bit gloomy to turn from the profusion of hopefilled weddings to the death records. \\'hen we see the same individual marrying again and thu1 again in a short time, we can suppose the reason is loss through death in childbed or from the 1Uberculos1s th<lt was rampant in ew Guinea or by accident at Sl'<t.

As we know, so me African anrucketers became shi ps' officers. When Nathan Phillips died "suddenly" at age 56, he was "3rd mate of the Ship Catharine of Nantucket." Finally, comes the moment to speak of those whose names are lost entirely: In 1775 an Africa n man "perished with cold" on a vessel from the West Indies. In 1 05 "a black man" met his death "with David \.'V'hippey awhaling." In 1835 "a colou red man that was with David Paddack in the hip Mary" died "in New Guinea or ewtown." The death of an unnamed "Negro man, late the steward of the hip Ohio of Nantucket, Charles West offin, Ma ter," was recorded in 1839. And also in 1839 "a Spanish Negro" from the Ship Princess died at the town asylum.

Reverend Arthur Cooper came to Nantucket ziz1820 as a/ugilive slave with his first wife, Mary.

May they all rest in peace and know that they are here commemorated. There is one more life and death we should note, recognizing the fragility of the human enterprise and the effort to do what is right and good in the uncertain time each of us has. Eliza Bailey died in 18-11 at the age of 29 "of epilepsy." In 1 34 she had been appointed teacher at the African choo l in antucket. She only se rved th e school for two years and was fo ll owed by Ann a .ardner, who taught for four more. Anna, who became a C<treer abolitioni t, witnessed the integration of the antucket public schools by and for her students. Eliza did nor live to sec the end of the struggle for integration. Let us hope that as we m ntion her name here too, she will know that her African Nantucketer students and their familie prevailed.
