LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

N NANTUCKET, WINTER IS TI IE SEASON

of reflection. It is a good time to catch up and take a good look back at the year. It was with this in mind that the staff of Historic Nantucket began to prepare the spring issue. For the past four years, the spring magazine has included the NHA's annual report; this year you will find it newly designed. By consolidating individual staff and board reports, it is our hope that members will have a clearer view of the work that is completed over the course of the year. We all agreed, however, that it was important to include the " voices " of the HISTORI C

N AN TU C K E T

association , which are to be found in quotes throughout. Because the Annual Report is still an issue of Historic Nantucket, we have opened the maga zine with an article by Lonn Taylor, historian at the National Musewn of American History at the Smithsonian Institution , who spoke about historic preservation at last year's annual meeting. He captivated the audience \vith his comments on his research-especially on the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the British bombardment of September 13 and 14, 1814, and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the

poem that became the national anthem . Looking back, we decided it was a speech worth reprinting here. You will also find on pages 47 and 48 reviews of two books that kept us company over the course of the winter. And, finally, on the back pages you will find the News Section. Look there for information about new publications, upcoming exhibitions, and plans for the spring and summer. It promises to be another busy season on Nantucket and at the Nantucket Historical Association; no more time for reflection. Enjoy it! - Cecil Barron Jensen SPRI N G

Time Past, Time Present by Lonn w. Taylor

An edited version ofa lecture given by Lonn W. Taylor at the Nantucket Historical Association Annual Meeting July 9, 1999

ERE IN NANTUCKET , THE EVIDENCE OF

the past is all about - in the form of fine eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings that line the streets and in the marvelous artifacts collected in the Whaling and Peter Foulger Museums. For that reason it seems appropriate to reflect on the fugitive nature of the past and the tangible ways in which artifacts and buildings like these cause the past to protrude so acutely into the present. The nature of the past, and of time in general, is a subject for which historians, philosophers, and astronomers share an equal enthusiasm. Not long ago, I heard a distinguished astronomer define time by saying it is what keeps everything from happening at once. To many casual thinkers the past is a place that has a real existence. In the words of the historian Carl Becker, in his wonderful essay "What Are Historical Facts?" the past lays behind us like a stretch of uneven country that we have crossed. It is difficult to avoid the notion that we can, simply by turning around, walk back into the country of the past. But at the same tin1e, the past, as a series of events, is utterly gone forever. This is one of the great mysteries of life: where are the people who inhabited these streets and buildings a hundred years ago? Where are their thoughts and their passions? Where, indeed, are the people that we were ten years ago, or twenty minutes ago? Gone forever. The past is knowable only through memory and through the material objects that have been left bel1ind - documents and artifacts like these buildings and the objects in the Whaling Museun1. We all know that memory is unreliable and that different memories of the same past event can differ radically. And we know that docwnents, the principal pathways into the past for historians, present complex problems of intention and interpretation. But an artifact is a direct material record of past human thought and action - a fossil of the mind and hands that shaped it.

HI STO RI C

AN T UC K E T

For the past two years I have been having the most interesting experience of my museum career. I have been the historian on the team at the Smithsonian's National Museum of An1erican History that has been charged with developing a preservation program for the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the British bombardment of September 13 and 14, 1814. It was this sight that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that became our national anthem. The flag is enormous-it is thirty feet wide and thirty-four feet long. It was preserved by the family of the fort's commander, Lieutenant-Colonel George Armistead, and was placed at the Smithsonian by his grandson, Eben Appleton , in 1907. As the historian attached to this project, it has been my job to try to reconstruct the history of this flag from the day that it was commissioned from a professional Baltimore flagmaker named Maty Pickersgill in August I 1813, until the day it first arrived at the Smithsonian in a crate in 1907. This has been a great detective adventure and one that has led me down many byways. I have tracked down a previously Lmknown Rembrandt Peale portrait of George Armistead. I have read a packet of letters written by Armistead's daughter in the 1870s describing her earliest memories of the great flag that her mother kept in the attic. I have read letters written by her son in the 1860s when he was a prisoner at Fort McHenry during the Civil War, charged by the Federal authorities with having a Confederate flag in his possession. I have even found a fragment of the Star-Spangled Banner itself, clipped off in the 1870s and slipped between the pages of a pan1phlet on the shelves of the An1erican Antiquarian Society, where it remained for 120 years until it fell out in my lap as I was reading the pamphlet. I was the first person to check it out since 1873. But the most moving of all has been my daily contact with this enormous flag, an inert mass of faded red, white, and blue bunting and cotton that has the power to move visitors to respectful silence and even tears. People have told me that just looking at the same flag that Francis Scott Key was looking at when he started SPRING

2000

jotting down the words about the rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in air is an extremely emotional experience for them. Those shock waves from the past are reverberating daily in the gallery devoted to that flag. The Star-Spangled Banner, of course, affects people so strongly because it is not only a particularly sharp projection of the past into the present but a universally recognized patriotic emblem with a direct connection to our national anthem. Let me give you another exan1ple from our museum. Up on the third floor, in the military history section, is a tree stump about five feet tall and twenty-two inches across. Its top and sides are covered with shallow grooves about half an inch deep. Until May 12, 1864, this stump was an oak tree that stood near Spotsylvania Court House in Virginia. On that day the tree was completely cut down by rifle and musket fire as Confederate and Union troops battled around it in the fight that became known as the Bloody Angle. By the end of that day, 2,000 men lay dead around it and the stump was all that was left of the tree. I know of no other artifact that makes so real the slaughter that characterized the Civil War- I get cold chills whenever I look at it. Somehow all the misery and suffering that Americans on both sides endured for four years are compressed into that stwnp. Artifacts from the past do not have to be associated with patriotism or tragedy to have power and meaning for the present. One of the treasures of the National Museum of American History is the Ipswich House, a two-and-a-half-story frame house that was moved to the musewn from Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1963, when it was threatened with destruction in order to build a parking lot. The rear wing is the oldest part of the house; it is a small first-period structure that was built about 1690. In 1757 a new owner built a Georgian house with a central hall and paneled parlor across the front of it. The house has been off exhibit for nearly twenty years; it is literally walled up inside tl1e museum. I am working on the team that is trying to get that HISTORIC

NANTUCKET

house back on exhibit, and when I open the door and take visitors into the space there is always an audible gasp. It is not just the size of the artifact that impresses, but the fact that it is a tangible record of its builder's values and aspirations- builders who have been dead for t\vo centuries. The overhanging second story and carved corner posts of the 1690 rear wing speak of the builder's identification with Old England, while the size of the timbers in it shout the abw1danr forests of New England. The symmetry, the parlor, and the large windows of the 1757 portion speak louder than words of the builder's longing for gentility- as expressed by the new Georgian style. It is a house designed not sin1ply for shelter but for self-presentation. Subsequent owners and occupants also left their marks on our house: a Federal-style doorway installed in the 1830s; a division into apartments to house millworkers in the 1870s; a bathroom installed by a returned veteran in 1946. The thoughts and intentions of eleven generations of Americans are layered in the rooms of this building, and they can be read as clearly as if they were written in a book. The average person understands the power of artifacts and their ability to project the past into the present. In a recent book about the way Americans look at their history, a random sample overwhelmingly ranked history museums and historic sites first among seven choices for sources of trustworthy information about the past, above eyewitness accounts, and far above, I am sorry to say, high school and college history teachers. The reason for this confidence was that artifacts and buildings cut through all of the inte1vening stories and allowed visitors "to experience a moment from the past almost as it had originally been experienced." So far I have only spoken of artifacts that are in museum collections. But the vast majority of artifacts from the past are not in musewns but are scattered over our landscape in the form of the built environmenthouses, roads, skyscrapers, farms and fences, and cities.

As cultural geographer Pierce Lewis has said, "The landscape is like one vast archaeological dig - a layered accumulation of artifacts created by that disorderly accumulation of people we call ancestors. A gift from the past, it speaks to us truthfully of who our ancestors were. " Here in Nantucket you have done a magnificent job of preserving and interpreting that landscape, but Americans in general have not. We are much too oriented toward progress and profit to fully appreciate the heritage that former generations have left to us. Buildings are torn down and the landscape is radically reconfigured again and again because a more profitable use can be found for it. Even our historic preservation movement has been reduced to making its case in terms of profit: "preservation is good business." I would venture to say that profit through tourism has been the most powerful motive for historic preservation in America during the past twenty years, and possibly long before that. I would like to suggest that there are at least three benefits from preserving landscapes and townscapes from the past that far outweigh the benefits of profit from tourism. These are benefits that would never find their way into a cost/benefit analysis, because they are literally priceless. The first is what I would call the psychological benefit. People's identities are deeply tied to their surroundings, and it is simply not good for them to have those surroundings continually being torn down and rebuilt. My father's hometown in Texas was a small county seat, and it was only eighty years old when he NI-LA research fellow was born in 1903. But even then nearly every building Patty jo Rice, around the courthouse square had a story attached to it former properties - there was even a story about the trees on the courtmanager Rick Morcom, house square - and those stories were told and retold until they were as much a part of reality as the buildings and Lonn Taylor themselves. In fact, you might say that the buildings at the Annual Meeting. were just a mnemonic device for the stories. Those stories told the people of this little town who they were, where they came from, and how they should conduct themselves in life. I heard them as a boy and they helped me understand who I was and, more importantly, who I should be. My fatl1er's town is one of those places where people now give directions by saying,

HISTORIC

NANTUCKET

"Turn left where the bank used to be." Most of those buildings are gone, and with them went an integral and irreplaceable part of people's lives. The second benefit I will call the aesthetic benefit. I would never say tl1at all twentieth-century buildings are ugly, and I do not mean to imply that. But eighteenthand nineteentl1-century builders had a sense of proportion and a sense of integration that has vanished in the face of the economic necessities of most twentiethcentury urban building, in which materials dictate dimensions and labor costs determine architectural detai.ls. The way in which artisans were trained until the beginning of this century guaranteed a thorough knowledge of the proportional systems and geometric rules that produced the pleasing dimensions of even the most modest houses. The use of local materials, whether they were wood, brick, or stone, gave streetscapes a unity that, unfortunately, has vanished from American towns and cities as transportation has improved. Nantucket remains a prime example of those earlier virtues; one has only to observe the rhythm of the nine-over-nine windows on India Street or to look at the row of alternating clapboarded and shingled buildings on Orange Street to understand what I am talking about. The third reason for preserving old buildings, and the one that I, as a historian, am most passionate about, is because of what I would call tl1e informational quotient. As sociologist Diane Barthel says in her book Historic Preservation: Collective Memory and Historic Identity, "Historic structures are a tangible form of evidence of the past and are thus a resource that should not be wasted or treated lightly." Yet all over the country old buildings are thoughtlessly destroyed without any effort being made to document them or determine what can be learned from them. If buildings are valuable evidence, then wantonly destroying them is the equivalent of burning books or shredding archives. Preservation organizations like the Nantucket Historical Association do far more than save old buildings. You are saving information about the past, you are providing valuable and irreplaceable amenities for the present, and you are preserving part of the moral franlework that guides men and women through their lives. Lonn W. Taylor is historian in the Division ofSocial History at the National Museum ofAmerican History.

Statement of Purpose

1999 ANNUAl REPORT

1l1e Nantucket Historical Association is an educational institution organized in 1894. The mission stated in the bylaws, as revised July 9, 1999,is "To encourage the appreciation of Nantucket's unique history by collecting, preserving, presenting, and interpreting to the public relevant artifacts, documents, and real property."

Tiu-ough this mission, the Nantucket Historical Association seeks to provide a deepened tmderstanding of Nantucket Island's history; its contributions to the economic, intellectual, political, cultural, and religious development of the commtmity, Commonwealth, and nation; and a historical perspective on the island's present and future development.

Message from the President At the start of the busy year we formed a conunittee to direct the search for an executive director to take over from Jean Weber, our director of the past four years who planned to retire in Jlme.This turned out to be a long process, but a most fruitful one in many ways. We had to carefully study ourselves as an organization - assess our strengths, recognize our weaknesses, identify our present and future needs - and from tl1is introspection define the kind of person we needed to lead us. We interviewed many candidates, and witll each one we came closer to a better wlderstanding of what we were looking for. In October we made an offer to Frank Milligan, who, fornmately, accepted. It was a very good, no, an excellent choice. In tl1e interin1, David Wood, our first vice president, stepped in as acting director. David joins me in acknowledging tl1e incredible job the staff did in not only holding steady but achieving 11igher and 11igher goals during tl1is time. A great honor can1e to tl1e Historical Association when we were selected by tl1e New York Winter Antiques Show as the loan exl1ibitor for tl1e show to be held in J<muary 2000. Plans for the show began in emÂˇly 1999, and in May we opened our "Seafaring" exl1ibition, which fom1ed the nucleus of the loan exl1ibition the NHA took to New York in January. It was exciting to be a part of tl1e foremost antiques venue in tl1is country, and the positive response to our exl1ibition m1d special issue of Historic Nantucket, wl1ich was given out to tl1ousm1ds of visitors to tl1e show, was overwhelming.TI1e message we carried to the public is the precious value of tl1e l1istorical heritage of Nantucket, m1d the burning desire we all have to preserve the island's l1istory.This message was heard and received with respect and support. Our armual meeting in July was held lmder a tent at tl1e Old Mill, a wonderful site tl1at stirs up great pride in our heritage. Lonn Taylor, from the National Muselm1 of An1erican History at tl1e Sn1ithsonian Institution, was our guest speaker. His topic was so well articulated that we have reprinted an excerpt in tl1is issue (see page 4).111e NHA also awarded a researd1 fellowship to

Patty Jo Rice, who spoke with entllllsiasm

about her research on tl1e canclle mmmfactory tl1at flourished in what is now the Whaling Muselm1.And then we bid a fond farewell to Jean Weber, recog11izing her great contribution to tl1e NHA and to Nantucket.As a special tribute, the trustees, with one hlmdred percent participation, contributed tl1e flmds to create andnan1e tl1e Explora-tion Room in the new research library in her honor - a most fitting tribute to someone who has an insatiable curiosity about the world she lives in. In September we held tl1e kickoff for our capital cmnpaign.We were very proud to mmounce at the reception tl1at nearly $10 nilllion toward our ultimate goal of $15.4 million had already been raised in tl1e leadership phase. Since then we have moved to close to $11 nilllion.At the kickoff we heard wonderflLl words of generosity and love of antucket from Teresa Heinz, who spoke of the Teresa and H.Jolm Heinz Ill Fmmdation's gift of $2 nilllion for the Whaling Musew11 renovations, and from Georgia Gosnell, who spoke movingly of her fmnily 's gift of $3.5 million to build the new museum center, wl1id1 will link the Whaling Musetm1 and the Peter Foulger Museum. TI1ese gifts speak not only of a love of Nm1tucket and its 11istory, but of a confidence tl1at the Nantucket Historical Association, your association, can and will use these mo11ies in a way tl1at will emich Nantucket for us all. In December we took the first step in making our plans a reality. We held a grOlmdbreaking ceremony for tl1e research library at the Fair Street Museum. The building conm1ittee, after much researd1 and interviewing, selected the firm of]. K. Scanlan as the contractor. With our arcl1itects, Botticelli and Pohl; Steve Paradis, our clerk of the works; the building conunittee, wl1icl1 is made up of trustees, conm1w1ity members, and staff; and our contractor, we believe we have a temn tl1at will assure a most successflil end restilt. I hope you will <ill have an opportw1ity to meet our new executive director, Frm1k Milligan, in the near future. I have every confidence that he will provide valuable leadership and direction for many years to come. -Dorothy Slover

Executive Director's Overview The early October sky was alive with stars and the air exceptionally still along Main Street as I walked to the N<mtucket Historical Association's 99 Main Street property where I was to spend the next few nights. The rugged cobblestones, the subtle street lighting, t11e sturuling and varied architecture, and the welcome extended to me by members of tl1e "NHA family" spoke clearly of NannJCket's special character and tl1e Nanwcket Historical Association's unique role in safeguarding and presenting tl1at d1aracter. Three months later many of t110se first in1pressions have crystallized m1d my excitement has intensified. I have t11e opporninity to begin to work witl1 a staff, which to a person demonstrates respect for each other and for what each does to contribute to the NHA's continuing success.This positive rapport is especially remarkable when one considers that just over half of the staff is new to the organization. Outgoing executive director Jean Weber, president Dorotl1y Slover, m1d interim executive cl.irector, David Wood, all cl.id a wonderful job in fostering this rapport in t11e midst of dramatic change m1d relentless operational demm1ds. I have also had the opportunity to meet and work with a truly dynmnic board of trustees and many otl1er volunteers who give so freely of their time m1d energies. Maintait1ing and growing our collection is critical to t11e NHA's funrre. In tl1is regard we are fornmate to welcome Niles Parker as museums director and dlief curator. Niles will work closely witl1 the NHA's curator of collections,Ain1ee Newell, and public programs coordinator Jeremy Slavitz, to guide t11e exhibition planning and interpretation progran1s into freshly charted waters. 111e NHA's magnificent 45,000 photographic collection is now the responsibility of Peter Schmid, who brings extensive photo-archivist experience to the Researd1 library, wl1ich will be ensconced by year's end in its new location in the renovated Fair Street Museum. The NHA's collection of historic properties also has a new steward in properties manager Jeff Pollock, who brings both enthusiasm and skill to the complex

and demancl.ing building restoration m1d maintenance progran1. Under Je<m Grimmer's tirelessly enthusiastic leadersllip, the NHA's membersllip m1d development department has been enhanced with the arrival ofVtrgi11ia Kinney as membersl1ip coorclinator,Amy PJem1ess as information systems manager, Heat11er Knox as grants writer and capital can1paign associate, m1d Inae Bloom as public relations assistant. The dramatic success of the membership drive and Year End Appeal m1d tremendous in1provements to the NHA's database and electronic technology systems reflect the energy m1d abilities of all of the staff in t11at department. We welcome as well Tracy Murray as assistant bookkeeper to aid finance manager Yvom1e Pimental. Musewn Shop manager Georgina Winton brings a wealth of merchandising and retailing expertise to enhm1ee her design m1d advertising training. One of the great rewards of working in the musetm1 field is the opportwlity to work with volunteers.Tilis p ast year 128 voltmteers contributed mo re than 1,385 hours to the NHA. Much of t11e NHA's success over the years has been built upon its staff's dedication to quality products. One need only look to the NHA's recent publication , Picturing

Nantucket:AnArt History of the Island with Paintings from the Collection of the NHA , and the special winter edition of Historic Nantucket, for evidence of the standards set by staff copy editor and research associate Elizabeth Oldhmn m1d mm1ager of public relations m1d Historic Nantucket editor Cecil Barron Jensen. T11e NHA also published a Guide to

Historical Research and Genealogical Resources of Nantucket, wllich was edited by library director Betsy Lowenstein. Congranllations as well to Ain1ee Newell whose exhibit "Seafaring" bec<UTie the centerpiece for the NHA's fearure exhibition at the NewYorkWmterAntiques Show. And NHA staff member Marie Henke continues to raise t11e public-service bar through her consistently patient, welcon1ing, and effective presence on the NHA's "front lines"

of reception and office administration. Over the past year, staff continued to enhance their skills by participating in professional seminars and workshops. Jeremy Slavitz was accepted into Colonial Williamsburg's month-long Seminar for Historical Administration and Betsy Lowenstein taught classes in Preserving our Community Heritage Workshops sponsored by the Southeastern Massachusetts Library Systems. TI1e NHA's record of pmdent fiscal management will continue to be guided by a tmly dedicated board of trustees that has remained steadfast in its resolve to build a future upon a sound financial fmmdation. A series of balanced budgets, a conunitrnent to enhance the endowment through the capital campaign, and the completion of the Five- Year Business Plan, all speak volumes for the board and staff's dedication to responsible financial planning and management. TI1is can only augur well for the NHA as it expands its physical plant and progranmling initiatives in the years al1ead. And those years pronlise to be full of new opportunities as result of the conunitrnent

of so many individuals to the association's capital campaign. These fi.mds are critically needed to enhance our llistorical properties, showcase our collections in new and in1proved galleries, and secure our fi.1ture through an expanded endowment. Museums are extraordinary places where visitors have an incredible range of experiences. Our can1paign will ensure that those experiences continue well into the fi.1ture. By working together the NHA will respond to each person's inherent desire to learn by providing entertaining and enriclling exhibitions, programs, and events; scholarly research and publications; a dedication to collections and llistoric fabric conservation; and a comnlitrnent to public service second to none. And in reflecting upon the challenge, one can only conclude that acllieving these goals will sit well with those Nantucketers who have come before us, and whose presence I felt so strongly that tranquil October evening three months ago. I an1 honored to be a part of it. -Frank D. Milligan

Her efforts in planning and opening exllibitions, overseeing collections care, answering researd1 requests, writing numerous articles, and working with volunteers helped to keep the curatorial department running smoothly amid a time of transition. > Seafaring: The Maritime Arts of

Nantucket opened on May 28 in the Peter Foulger Museum. Curated by Aimee Newell, the exllibition highlighted the voyages of Nantucketers and the variety of interesting and beautiful objects they made or brought back to their island from all comers of the world. Some of the NHA's finest examples of textiles, ceranlics, scrimshaw, and furniture were featured. > Shoals and Shipwrecks: Nantucket's

Historic Nantucket Book Section Before the Wind: The Memoir of an American Sea Captain, 1808--1833 By Charles Tyng. Viking Penguin, 1999 H ardcover, $24.95 Review by Elizabeth Oldham

li ERE ARE FEW THI NG S AS SA TI SFA CTO RY

as settling down to a good yarn, and Charles Tyng's memoir of his life at sea gives

us that. Born in 1801, one of eight in a comfortable Boston family, Charles was only seven years old when his mother died. His father, a respected lawyer, sent him, as was the custom, to a succession of boarding schools where he enjoyed, or endured, the pleasures (few) and rigors (many) of a fairly typical middle-class New England boy's education. The schoolmasters were, variously, "a rigid Congregationalist . . . of a stern and disengaging look" and an aptly named Dr. Flint, "a tyrannical man , and very severe." So unhappy was Charles at the latter's school in Cohasset that he ran away to Hingham and caught the Boston packet-the first vessel he had ever boarded, though he had been entranced by ships and the sea all his young life. So taken was he on that short trip that he asked the captain to take him on as cabin boy, but that was not yet to be. On his unexpected arrival at home on Beacon Hill, T yng pere, perhaps recognizing that his son was more of a scamp than a scholar, agreed to let the boy stay at home and go to day school, where one of his mates was a likable fellow named "Ralph Emerson, a boy of my age, who became a minister as his father before him. He now lives in Concord and is called a 'sage."' Emerson's erudition didn't rub off on his friend Charles. Eventually, after a term and a half at Phillips Academy in Andover and several other abortive attempts to educate him, events conspired to make a sailor of him. The War of 1812 was over. For three years some 250 ships had been mothballed in Boston harbor and now would be overhauled and fitted for sea. Through family connections, fourteen-year-old Charles was taken on as HISTORI C

NANTU C K E T

"one of the sailor boys" on the ship Cordelia , bound for China to purchase tea. He was "delighted to get my sailor clothes, being the first I ever had with suspenders." Into his new sea chest went his meager belongings, including a jack knife and a tin pot. On the thirteenth of May 1815, the Cordelia set out into the Atlantic, to round Cape Hom. Poor boy! Here's how he begins the account of his life at sea: "Now I come to my voyage in the Cordelia, which even to this day has a sickening effect on my mind, & I would willingly leave it out, but as I begin to tell the history of my adventurous life, I presume I most go on and tell the whole, however unpleasant it may be to renew at the thought of that first voyage. " The ship was under-provisioned: not enough water; maggoty beef and wormy bread; but chief among his trials was his treatment at the bands of a sadistic first mate, the dread Magee. On arrival in Canton, things looked up: he was enchanted with the exotic ambience of the Orient, and the ship's three-month layover permitted the establishment of frienclly relations with the locals. The cargo of tea was stowed, after "large paving stones " used as ballast were hoisted out, but some retained "to keep the ship upright." (Aha! Main Street cobble- â&#x20AC;˘ stones, perhaps?) The tea was consigned '""" to Hamburg , Germany, and there the ;.: Cordelia sailed , passing by St. Helena I< where Napoleon was a prisoner. The Napoleonic wars were only recently over, ~ and the tea was the first to be carried to a European port in some twenty years. The return voyage home wasn't much L ~. happier than the trip out; the food was ~ disgusting, Magee as cruel or crueler. And ~ ~ '-""" when they got to Boston, poor Charles -..:. was almost done out of his wages by some ~ arcane technicality. But he got his money: ~.:Â $90.00 for eighteen months of labor, with 1;-o ~ .. twenty cents per month deducted as ~ "hospital money"; $84.60, and the owners had made more than a hundred percent L profit on the cargo.

Charles "was sick enough of the seas, and wanted to stay at home and study, but my father said I had chosen my profession and must stick to it, and that I must study navigation until I had a chance to go another voyage. I therefore went to Mr. John Hendricks who kept a naviagation school in Boston." For a boy who admitted to no real love of learning, something perhaps innate made Charles T yng a gifted diarist-vivid, insightful, interested and interesting. In his Afterword, Thomas Philbrick (that's Nat's dad) writes: "To the modem reader the long-gone world in which T yng lived and moved is full of marvels, here summoned up with an authenticity that no [novelist], however skillful, can simulate." Yes, a really good read.

Jack Tar: A Sailor's Life, 1750-1910 by J. Welles Henderson and Rodney P. Carlisle. Published by Antique Collectors' Club, Woodbridge, Suffolk, England, 1999. Hardcover, $65. Review by David H. Wood

HAT IMP ELS A PERSO

TO COLLECT?

Psychologists have a number of answers, some of them not entirely flattering to our egos. But in the case of Welles Henderson, the significant and unique maritime collection pictured and described in this book began with one object: a small metal and wood anchor he received in 1927 for his donation to the campaign to save MARINE ART & ANTIQUES the USS Constitution from the scrap heap. The anchor was made from ASAIWR'S LIFE one of the timbers of that historic 1750-1910 ship; holding and touching it thrilled him and, as he tells us, "changed my life." Early on he decided that his interest in the maritime field centered not on obvious details: admirals, naval battles, magnificent ships; these had been celebrated, researched, and picrured numerous times. Instead, Henderson's focus was on the life of the common sailor, the "Jack Tar" of his title and the name for the universal sailor of all nations, seas, and times.

T U C K E T

Half a century later what he had amassed begged for exhibit space so that its impact and importance might be shared with the public, and its resources (journals, diaries, letters , documents, prints, an d a staggering number of artifacts) could tell the long-neglected story of the life of an ordinary seaman. This collector was determined to build a museum-a dream that, with the help of others , came tru e when the Philadelphia Maritime Museum {later the Independence Seaport Musew11) became a reality. Putting the collection together, while a labor of love for Henderson , was not easy. Much of the documentation of the lives of sailors had perished-ephemera easily discarded as of no importance to naval history. Painters and sketchbook artists tended to limn extraordinary events (shipwrecks, battles, exotic ports, colorful 1 natives) and to overlook the commonplace: sailors on the yardarms, swabbing the decks, the daily and unending routine. There is little description in the book of the collector's achievements and failures in his decades-long search for whatever survived of Jack Tar's history. Clearly, he wants to tell the sailor's story, not his own. Most interestingly, however, he tells how he managed to capture one of his prizes - the life-sized, carved pine figure of a jaunty sailor, his tarred flat-top cap raised in salute - that is the iconic emblem for the whole collection. In the chapter entitled "A Collector's View ," Henderson summarizes his purpose in amassing the collection and researching such aspects of maritime life as crossing the line, cavorting and carousing, sailors outside the law, and sweethearts and \vives. He says, "[It was] a search for Jack Tar himself- what motivated him, how he lived his ordinary daily life, and what extremes of risk and condition he faced ... [a] range over the emotional, physical, and spiriruallife of seamen." This book adds a dimension to maritime annals often neglected in a concern merely with artifacts. What could have been only another coffee-table book of great pictorial appeal instead offers real insights into the life of the universal man who follows the sea. ]. Welles Henderson will be speaking at the Whaling Museum on Thursday, August 10, at 7:30P.M. His topic /or the evening will be "A Close-up Look at the Sailor's Life, 1750-1910."

Winter Antiques Show The NHA spent ten successful days at the 46th Annual Winter Antiques Show in New York. The show, which ran January 21-30, saw a diverse crowd of collectors and visitors and was considered a wonderful event for all who attended. The exhibition, Away Off Shore:

From the Collections of the Nantucket Historical Association, located at the entran ce of the Winter Antiques Show, featured portraits, scrimshaw, lightship baskets, a model whaleship, an astronomical tall-case dock, logs, journals, silver, and whaling implements. All of the objects represented the diversity of the changing and growing culture of Nantucket and provided the viewer with a unique interpretation of the island's history. "We were delighted by the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response of the Winter Antiques Show's visitors and its dealers to the association's presence," said executive director Frank Milligan. "We felt confident that Nantucket's rich material history as presented in the loan exhibition, our artifacts, our special publication , and our staff and volunteers, would add immeasurably to this year's show. By all accounts that was achieved in a spectacular manner." The NHA thanks the Winter Antiques Show Nantucket Committee, including chair Dorothy Slover, honorary chairs Mr. and Mrs. Charles Giffford, and Mr. and Mrs. Edmund A. Hajim, who chaired the advisory committee. Thanks also to the more than forty volunteers who gave generously of their time . FleetBoston Financial provided funding to send the exhibition to New York and for related special events.

Designer Stephen Saitas joins curator ofcollections Aimee Newell and museum director and chief curator Nzles Parker in the Winter Antiques Show pavzlion.

For the fourth year, the Winter Antiques Show's loan exhibition design and pavilion were sponsored by

Chubb Group of Insurance Companies.

IN MEMORIAM Albert E Egan Jr. Albert "Bud" Egan was known to most as the owner of Marine Home Center, one of the island's largest and most successful businesses, but he was also a great supporter of Nantucket's history, architecture, and art. Through the establishment of the Egan Foundation, Bud strove to preserve what he called "the real Nantucket" for future generations. The Coffin School, one of the island's finest examples of Greek Revival architecture, was completely restored through Bud's efforts; he was also instrumental in the renovation of St. Mary's Church. In addition to establishing the Egan Institute of Maritime Studies, a research and educational organization

HISTORIC

NANTUCKET

currently based at the Coffin School, he fow1ded Mill Hill Press to publish books about Nantucket's history and seafaring traditions. But perhaps it was collecting works of art that gave Bud the greatest pleasure. Besides an1assing a large number of Nantucket and marine scenes, he commissioned a series of historical paintings by noted British marine artist Rodney Charman - a project originally suggested by former NHA president Edoua.rd Stackpole. As a memorial to their daughter, Bud and his wife Dorothy established the Jane Egan Art on Nantucket Men1orial Fund for the preservation of art in the collection of the NHA. Bud was 83; he will be sorely missed.

A Major Publication on Nantucket Artists and Their Work

of Philbrick, the NHA curators will exhibit artifacts from the Essex, now in the collection of the Nantucket Historical Association, along with ships' logs, manuscripts, diaries, and maps. Arriving in bookstores and in the Musewn Shop in May will be the Penguin Classic The Loss of the Ship Essex, Sunk by a Whale, with First-Hand Accounts by Thomas Nickerson, Owen Chase, and Others. With first mate Chase's account of the Essex will be the story as told by Nickerson, the Essex's fifteen-year-old cabin boy, who happened to be steering the ship when it was attacked by the sperm whale. His account, bdonging to the NHA's research library, was only found in 1980 and adds greatly to the chilling story. The paperback will be available in the Museum Shop. Call508-228-5785 for details. Nathanid Philbrick will be speaking about his book,

The NHA is pleased to announce the publication of

Picturing Nantucket: An Art History of the Island with Paintings /rom the Collection of the Nantucket Historical I Association. Edited by Michael Jehle, the NHA's past curator and museums director, the book offers a thoughtful and thorough history of the island's cultural devdopment with essays by Charlotte Emans Moore, Patricia Hills, Margaret Moore Booker and Jehle. A significant section of the book, however, is devoted to the catalogue of Nantucket paintings, most of them in the NHA's collection. "It is a staggeringly impressive collection, and the accompanying texts provide a short course in art history as they speak of the works in context with the times of their creation," said NHA research associate Elizabeth Oldham. "Its appended, meticulous checklist of the NHA's collection is also a useful tool for researchers." In addition, it is a beautiful book with more than 300 full-color and black-andwhite reproductions. For more information or to purchase a copy of the $65 book, please call the Museum Shop at 508-228-5785. Editor and contributing author MichadJehle will be on hand in August during the Antiques Show and again over Columbus Weekend in October to discuss this important publication. The NHA will also invite Picturing Nantucket's other authors and contributors to attend. Members are encouraged to come and have their books signed at one of these occasions. More information about the dates will be available later in the summer.

All about Essex To coincide with the publication of NHA Research Fellow Nathaniel Philbrick's book, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, the NHA is planning an exhibition on the Essex in the Peter Foulger Museum to open on Friday, May 26. The exhibition, "The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex," will tell the story of the Nantucket whaleship that was rammed and destroyed by an eighty-ton sperm whale over 3,000 miles from the coast of the South American continent. With their ship going down, the twenty crew members of the Essex climbed into three open whaleboats and ventured to sail back to South America. It is a chilling tale of starvation, dehydration, catmibalism, and, ulti.matdy, survival for eight of the crewmen and served as inspiration for Nantucket's time capsule. Herman Mdville's Moby-Dick.

Visiting Research Scholar In February the NHA research library hosted its second Visiting Research Scholar. Christina Gessler was chosen out of many applicants to spend three weeks researching her Ph.D. dissertation at American University "Harvests of the Heart: Themes from the Diaries of Nineteenth-Century New England Farm Women." While she was here she read the diaries of Nantucket farm women from the late nineteenth century, including one by Martha Burgess Fish, which details her life and work on and around Cherry Grove Farm. Look for an article on her research in Historic Nantucket next year. Last year's scholar, Lloyd Pratt, will be speaking in the Whaling Museum on Thursday, June 29, at 7:30 I P.M. His topic, "Nantucket Readers Reading: 1820-50," will illustrate the research he did last year in the research library and at the Nantucket Atheneum on the reading habits of nineteenth-century Nantucketers.

Historic Nantucket Comments Thank you to Orrin Macy for comments regarding tl1e I article "'That pride in our Island's history': The Nantucket Historical Association," in the winter issue of Historic Nantucket. Mr. Macy pointed out to us tlut William F. Macy, NHA president from 1924 to 1935, had long advocated for a whaling museum, and it was he who persuaded Edward F. Sanderson to donate his whaling collection to the NHA. We regret this oversight. The editors of Historic Nantucket wish to thank everyone who has telephoned or sent letters and I e-mails to congratulate the writers and art director Oaire O'Keeffe for the quality of tl1e winter issue of the magazine. We were pleased to hear from you. SPRING
