THE WHALING MUSEUM To the Members of the Nantucket Historical Association: Our new Whaling Museum has proved a great success.

It has more than justified our fondest hopes, and is now firmly established as one of the major attractions of old Nantucket. Over 9,000 people have paid the quarter admission to see it since it was opened on June 15th. If the school children and townspeople who were ad­ mitted free by invitation at the opening, and the many members who have dropped in, some of them many times, were counted, it is safe to say that the total attendance during the season has approached 12,000. So far as we have heard, all are enthusiastic over it.

Our membership has nearly doubled since our last Annual Report was published, and we now have over eleven hundred on the roll, with new names being added every week, making our Association one of the largest of its kind in New England, if not in the whole country.

Our receipts from annual dues, interest on our endowments, and admissions to our var­ ious exhibits will, we are confident, be sufficient to enable us to carry on in future, meet all our over­ head expenses, and provide margin enough for a healthy growth and the acquisition of new treasures for our collections as opportunities occur.

BUT our Whaling Museum is not yet paid for. It stands us to date nearly $50,000.

Enough money is in sight to pay all outstanding bills for the repairs, alterations and equipment we had to make to the building and to repay the loans advanced by a few of our members to enable us to open the museum this year. All these obligations can and will be met as the deferred subscrip­ tions come in.

There is still outstanding, however, a mortgage of $10,000 held by the Nantucket Savings Bank, covering the building and part of the land on Broad street. This mortgage was placed before we acquired the property and we took title subject to it. This is our only debt which is not now provided for, and we want to get rid of it. The interest is $600 a year, and we could use that $600 to excellent advantage if we had it.

Will you help us to pay it off this winter?

We appreciate all that our members have al­ ready done to make the Whaling Museum possible, and if you have done all you can afford to do, we thank you for so much. But if you can see your way to giving us one more lift, so that we can "burn the mortgage" at our next annual meeting, we shall doubly appreciate that and thank you so much more. If you cannot afford to give anything, perhaps you can think up some way to earn a few dollars for the cause, or perhaps you can interest others to contribute. We will leave it to you, but please keep it in mind and do what you can. Every dollar helps, so do not be deterred from giving just because you can't give us as much as you would like to. "Many a mickle makes a muckle", and our policy in the future, as in the past, will be to treat all contributions as confiden­ tial, giving no publicity to the amounts of the individual contributions, so that no one need be in­ fluenced either way by what someone else may have done. It's a free-will offering. We do not ask you to "give till it hurts", but only to give as you feel you can and are willing to. But don't forget that you are a member of a fine organization which is helping the future of Nantucket while preserving and perpetuating the best in her past.

This is, we hope and believe, the last appeal we shall have to make to you. Let's all join in and pay off the mortgage this year, so that everything we own will be "free and clear".

Yours for a debtless future, WILLIAM F. MACY, President.

N. B. Our treasurer is Mrs. Louise M. Gordon.

Her address is Box 382, Nantucket.

ANNUAL MEETING The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the Association was held at the new Whaling Museum in the old candle house on Thursday afternoon, July 24th, 1930. Through the kindness of the Nantucket Yacht Club in loaning some of their seats for the occasion, accommodations were pro­ vided for nearly three hundred, and every seat was taken.

The special program for the meeting was the formal opening and dedication of the Whaling Museum, and for this reason the usual business meeting was made as brief as possible, each of the annual reports being presented in a condensed form.

Promptly at the appointed hour, five bells of the after­ noon watch, struck by George Grant on the ship's bell over the binnacle, the meeting was called to order by Pres­ ident William F. Macy. As the minutes of the last annual meeting had been printed in full in the Annual Report, their reading was waived by unanimous consent, and as Mr. Kent, our secretary, had moved "off-island" just before the end of the fiscal year and no secretary's annual report had been prepared, that also was dispensed with.

The treasurer, Mrs. Louise M. Gordon, gave a short synopsis of the financial situation, showing a healthy condition of the treasury, as will be seen by the full report appearing hereinafter. The total membership as reported to date was 1030, showing a gain of nearly five hundred

MINUTES OF MEETING

since the last annual meeting and more than making good on the slogan then adopted to "make it a thousand this year".

The curator's report, presented by Mrs. Nancy S. Adams, was short, in keeping with the occasion, but much to the point as a review of the growth of the exhibits and the changes in her department during the year.

These reports having been formally accepted and placed on file, Lieutenant Harry R. Brayton, chairman of nominating committee, reported the following nominations for officers of the Association for the coming year. On motion of Moses Joy, the secretary was authorized by unanimous consent to cast one ballot for the nominees as reported, and the ballot having been cast, they were de­ clared duly elected: President—William F. Macy.

Vice Presidents—Millard F. Freeborn, Mrs. Irving Elting, William F. Codd, Walter Gilman Page, G. Lister Carlisle, Fred V. Fuller.

Treasurer—Mrs. Louise Mack Gordon.

Secretary—Mrs. Catherine Ray Eger.

Curator—Mrs. Nancy S. Adams.

Councillors for Four Years—Mrs. Georgie L. Walling, Dr. Charles E. Congdon.

Auditors—Miss Emma Cook, Miss Hannah G. Hatch, Albert G. Brock.

The next business in order was the award of the annual prizes for the best essays on any topic connected with local history presented by pupils of the Nantucket schools. The president announced that three essays had been submitted, all of which were excellent as to style, subject matter, phraseology, punctuation, etc., but only one of which seemed to indicate the amount of original research which it was felt the competition had been es­ pecially designed and intended to encourage, and therefore «G{ 8

MINUTES OF MEETING

only one prize, the first, had been awarded. This went to Robert G. Melendy, who was called forward to receive the ten dollar gold piece and expressed his thanks.

The election by the Council of Mr. Sidney Mitchell as a Life Councillor was next confirmed by vote of the Association, as required by the constitution.

This concluded the business meeting, exactly on schedule, as planned, at 3 o'clock, and after a few remarks from the president, the dedication ceremonies were opened

by Hon. Arthur W. Jones who was introduced as represent­ ing the State of Massachusetts.

Representative Jones first read the following commun­ ication from His Excellency the Governor of the Common­ wealth, which was received with enthusiastic applause.

"The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is greatly indebted to the Island of Nantucket for the important part it took in the upbuilding of the commercial prosperity of the State in its early history, although Nantucket was not a part of Massachusetts at the time the Massachusetts Bay Colony was formed, it then being under the jurisdiction of the State of New York.

"It later, in 1692, upon the request of the proprietors, transfered its allegiance from the State of New York to that of Massachusetts, and from that time up to 1843 it contributed very materially to the commercial prosperity of the Commonwealth through the whaling industry which at that time was one of the largest commercial enterprises existing.

"The citizens of Nantucket may well be proud of their heritage, their forefathers having made a record for them­ selves by their bravery and loyalty to their country both in times of peace and in war. Between 1775 and 1781, 1600 residents of Nantucket lost their lives in the Revolu­ tionary War out of a population of 4545.

"This wonderful record of patriotism has been main­ tained by its citizens through both the Civil and World Wars.

"I feel that especial mention should be made of the <{ 9 )§*•

MINUTES OF MEETING

dedication of the Whaling- Museum to the Whaling Industry, without which Massachusetts could never have attained the enviable position she now holds in the industrial life of the country.

"Those engaged in this industry were the pioneers of our foreign commercial trade, as a large part of the product of the whale fisheries was shipped to England.

"Furthermore, men of Nantucket who manned her ships were performing such feats as those of Admiral Byrd and other noted explorers by venturing around Cape Horn into the new Pacific, then practically an unknown territory, discovering new islands and whaling grounds which up to that time had never been known to exist.

"All of these efforts on their part were performed under most extreme privation and heroism when taking into consideration the small craft of those days compared with the large ships of the present day.

"It is fitting that the deeds of these men should be perpetuated, and Nantucket is to be congratulated that sufficient evidence of their efforts remain, so that it is possible to convey to posterity some conception of what every citizen of Massachusetts owes to the oak-ribbed men of Nantucket.

"Please accept my hearty congratulations for the success of your efforts.

Very sincerely yours, Frank G. Allen.

Mr. Jones then took the opportunity to express his personal appreciation of everything that has been done by the Historical Association during its thirty-six years of activity, especially in bringing to a successful finish its new Whaling Museum. He complimented the president and the members of the committee who had worked so hard to make the museum a reality, and in closing paid a warm tribute to the work done by the veteran whaleman, George A. Grant, suggesting that as a fitting close to the meeting he be asked to go to the masthead and give the call of the whaler. Representative Jones' remarks were received with keen appreciation.

•4 10 }§*•

MINUTES OF MEETING

Capt. Edmund Z. Ryder, Chairman of the Selectmen, then made a few remarks, expressing the cordial greetings of the board officially and congratulating the society on its achievements, which mean so much to Nantucket. He referred to the fact that today the island's fishing industry produces as much, if not more revenue than did the whal­ ing in former days, drawing a comparison which was interesting.

Austin Strong, commodore of the Nantucket Yacht Club, was next introduced by the president as representing "our neighbor across the street." Mr. Strong was happy in his remarks and touched several very responsive chords among his audience. His reference to Captain Grant, who had worked so steadily all winter and spring in preparing the whaling collection exhibit, as "that fine face wrapped in memories of the past" was rather touching. "We cannot realize what those memories were", said Mr. Strong, "we can only imagine."

Mr. Strong extended greetings from the Board of Governors of the Yacht Club and his remarks were warmly applauded.

Miss Helen C. McCleary next presented three word pictures, drawn in a delightful manner, showing three scenes connected with Nantucket history—the coming of Thomas Macy in 1659, the clipper ship era of 1853, and the present-day picture of Nantucket. Her rendition was ex­ cellent, and there was not a person in the building but could hear every word clearly and with deep appreciation.

The president then announced that there was a large delegation in attendance from the Whalemen's Club of New Bedford, which had been keenly interested in the develop­ ment of Nantucket's Whaling Museum from the very start.

William H. Tripp, Secretary of the Whalemen's Club,

4 ll

MINUTES OF MEETING

and recently appointed assistant curator of the Old Dartmouth Historical Society, was presented and expressed his pleasure in being present upon this occasion. He referred to the close connections and associations which have always existed between Nantucket and New Bedford, and extended congratulations and greetings from the representative historic organizations of the "Whaling City". In closing he stated that the delegation from the Whalemen's Club had been increased to twenty by arrivals on the last boat.

Abbott P. Smith, of the Whalemen's Club, made some interesting and appropriate remarks, showing the interest which New Bedford has taken in the development of Nan­ tucket's newest museum.

H. Addington Bruce, of Cambridge, well-known writer, editor and lecturer, was next introduced, and he paid a very interesting tribute to the late Admiral Folger, through whose will the Association is to receive great benefit. Mr. Bruce was closely listened to throughout his address.

The President next introduced a visitor from New Bed­ ford, Roland Macy, who is in his 91st year but still hale and hearty and could not resist the opportunity to be present at the dedication of the Whaling Museum. He asked Mr. Macy to rise and let the audience see him. Mr. Macy received a generous ovation.

Moses Joy was called upon to tell the audience some­ thing about candle-making, which was a quite appropriate feature, inasmuch as the meeting was being held in the old candle-house where the industry of other days thrived.

As Mr. Joy is the last Nantucket man who had anything to do with candle-making on the island, his remarks were vitally interesting.

A vote of appreciation for their interest and hard work which they had done during the early years of the Association's existence, up to the time when they were 4. 12

MINUTES OF MEETING

obliged to cease their labors owing to ill health, was ex­ tended to Miss Susan E. Brock and Millard F. Freeborn, and the secretary was instructed to extend to them the greetings of the meeting.

After a few more comments on the work of the Asso­ ciation, the development of the Whaling Museum, etc., the president asked Captain Grant to climb to the mast-head, as was suggested by Representative Jones. It was sur­ prising to the audience to see the speed with which Grant climbed the rigging and mounted the cross-trees, and it was with keen enjoyment that they heard him give the call "Thar—'e—bl-o-o-ows!" just as he had given it many times at sea in his younger days.

It was a delightful close to a delightful meeting.

•<§{ 13

SECRETARY'S REPORT To the Nantucket Historical Association: Your Secretary having moved away from the island in May, this report will be brief. It has been a year of con­ tinued effort and accomplishment.

Six Council meetings have been held during the year.

All have been well attended and an unusual amount of busi­ ness has been transacted. In August, 1929, deeds were passed, conveying the old Hadwen & Barney candle house to the Association, and the special committee on the New Whaling Museum has made extensive repairs to the building during the past winter.

On June 13th, between 400 and 500 of the school chil­ dren, with their teachers, accepted the invitation to visit the New Whaling Museum in advance of the informal open­ ing on the afternoon of Sunday, June 15th, when a general invitation was extended to the townspeople and visitors to come and inspect the building and the exhibits. It is esti­ mated that at least a thousand were present during the afternoon, and both the young folks and the adults were, it is safe to say, most favorably impressed with the results which had been accomplished.

The attendance at the various exhibits of the Associa­ tion during the summer of 1929 was the largest in its history. In late August and early September a special exhibition of portraits of many of Nantucket's former whaleship captains was held in the candle house, and a fine < 14 ]§»

portrait of Admiral William Mayhew Folger, together with a number of interesting prints of naval engagements from the collection be had bequeathed to us, were displayed.

This exhibition was made possible through the efforts of Walter Gilman Page, Edgar W. Jenney and Miss Van Pelt.

George A. Grant was the attendant in charge.

A generous gift from Miss Grace Gardner, in memory of her father and mother, both former officers of the Asso­ ciation, was received. A bequest under the will of the late Frederick Gardner, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., to be used for the restoration and upkeep of the Old North Cemetery, came to us, and the $5,000 bequest under the will of the late William Swift, of Pittsfield, became payable and was received by the Treasurer.

In September, Mr. G. Lister Carlisle, Jr., favored us with a most interesting moving picture entertainment and lecture on wild animal life in Africa, for the benefit of the Whaling Museum fund. This was held in the Nantucket Yacht Club auditorium, which had been kindly loaned for the occasion.

All departments of the Association's activities have prospered during the year, our membership has increased more than fifty percent, and the New Whaling Museum speaks for itself. "Nothing succeeds like success , and the future of our Association seems brighter, perhaps, than ever before.

As I finish this rather meagre report my thoughts go back with grateful love and appreciation to our early piesidents and other officers and our wise advisers of those days.

They had vision, and without it nothing lives on.

Respectfully submitted, Annie W. Bodfish, Secretary pro tem.

CURATOR'S REPORT Mr. President and Members of the Historical Association: The year that has just been closed has been one of the most outstanding since the early days of this Associa­ tion, inasmuch as the attention and interest of the Council and the Whaling Museum Committee have been given to the preparation and arrangement of the rooms and the collection in this building—our Whaling Museum. Words cannot describe what the "eye can see" in regard to this dream of ours which has been realized at last, and so I leave it to the "one who beholds" to tell the story. I can­ not leave the subject, however, without expressing admira­ tion for the Committee who have worked with untiring devotion to make this museum a reality. The fact that, up to date, 2791 people have visited this museum is very evident proof that our Historical Association has given to the community a valuable memorial to our ancestors of the whaling days, to those old whaling Captains without whom Nantucket would never have been so famous. Up to this time I am glad to say that every article has been cata­ logued, and I believe every donation and loan has been acknowledged.

The attendance the past year at the Historical Rooms and the Old House has been larger than ever before, and the increase in membership has shown us that more and more of the Island folks are becoming interested in our Association. Accessions to the collection and to the library have not been as many as in former years, but those which have come to us are particularly interesting. There have been no portraits donated this year, but a painting of *€{ 20

CURATOR'S REPORT

"Capt. Haggerty's Shop" has taken its place on our walls, and several photographs have been added to our collection.

A bequest came to us from Miss Eva Channing, con­ sisting of eighteen pieces of Staffordshire china and a lustre pitcher which had been in our loan collection. Among the most valuable relics have been the gold medal awarded to the late Capt. Walter N. Chase and the letter of commen­ dation from the Life Saving Department for the heroic service which he with others performed in saving lives on the occasion of the wreck of the British schooner H. P. Kirkham, January 20, 1892. There are also several medals and a certificate of a degree awarded to the late Professor William Watson, for distinguished work in the field of Science.

A Confederate sword and an American flag made at the beginning of the Civil War, and a photograph of the three remaining veterans of the Civil War have been added to our collection of war relics.

A few other donations may be mentioned as follows: an old wine cask; a pewter coffee pot; a beautiful bead bag; two tape looms; a cigar case made in China and presented to an old Nantucket Captain in 1860 (it was then 100 years old) and some very interesting old deeds. To the library has been added "My House and I" written by our esteemed friend and co-worker Miss Mary E. Starbuck, and a revised edition of "The Scrap Basket" written by our Presi­ dent, William F. Macy, also an historical account of George Fox, the title page of which bears the notation "Tristram Coffin, His Book, Bought in 1769".

The ancestral chart of Almira Louisa Greenleaf has been added to the genealogical books. A rare relic which has been placed in the Old House is a photograph of Mary Turner, the last woman whose children were born in the Old Coffin House.

HEf 21

CURATOR'S REPORT

There have been some marked changes in the Histori­ cal rooms, as the removal of the articles in our collection to the Whaling Museum has necessitated a rearrangement of the ground floor.

A new case has been added in which to display some of the fine collection of china, thus relieving one case which has been over-full for some time. A long case with four shelves has been built nearly the entire length of the east wall. In this case have been placed many articles which have been crowded into several smaller cases, and in relieving this congestion all articles are dis­ played to better advantage. A new case has been made in which has been placed the valuable Chilcoot Indian blanket that for years occupied space needed for smaller articles.

The rearrangement has brought into the open many inter­ esting objects which could not be shown to advantage before.

For years we have housed in the basement a miniature menagerie, but now the removal of the "Camels" to the Whaling Museum has left the two little "bear cubs" still in captivity, but alone in their glory.

The interest shown last year by the High School pupils was repeated this Spring, and under escort of the principal and teachers of history, the freshmen, sophomores and the juniors all visited the rooms, manifesting their enjoyment in a very satisfactory manner.

At the Old House many new pieces of furniture have been added, some of which have been loaned. It is our strong desire to have the house furnished in the period suited to its age and we hope another year to report that this has been accomplished. We have always had some big dream to look forward to, and we wonder what will be the next great step in our history. Whatever it is, we may be sure it will be for the benefit of the future generations who we trust, will "carry on" the work with the same interest which the pioneers of this Association have shown and are still showing.

Respectfully submitted, Nancy S. Adams, Curator. <{ 22

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS In keeping with the brevity of the business meeting, the president's usual more or less formal annual address to the members was omitted. He spoke extemporaneously and quite informally, reviewing briefly the work of the past year in bringing the Whaling Museum project to its successful culmination, and paying a warm tribute to the zeal and enthusiastic co-operation of his colleagues on the special committee in charge of the work, Messrs. Walter Gilman Page, Edgar W. Jenney, Frederick V. Fuller, and Joseph Husband, Miss Annie Barker Folger and Mrs. Wal­ ton H. Adams, each of whom, he said, had performed the special tasks and duties assigned them most efficiently.

Perfect harmony had prevailed throughout, with a mini­ mum of friction and a spirit of give and take which had made it a pleasure to work with them. To Mr. William F. Codd much credit was due for the clear and artistic labeling of the exhibits, which go far to make them interesting and understandable to the visitor. And last, but by no means least, he wanted everyone to know that without George Grant no such result as they now beheld around them could possibly have been achieved. He thanked the members for their good support and backing throughout, and the com­ munity as a whole for its aid and appreciation.

As for himself, he had thoroughly enjoyed his part in it, and though in the early stages there had been many difficulties and discouragements, and he had wondered sometimes whether we hadn't undertaken too much, and if it ever could be "put over", he found in the darkest hour a new inspiration in the sudden discovery that the initials <( 23

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS

of "Whaling Museum" were the same as his own; so then, he had known that it was "up to him" to keep on trying.

Speaking of the membership, he admitted that when, a year ago, he had suggested the slogan "Let's Make it a Thousand this Year", he had had little hope of actually reaching that figure—an increase of over fifty per cent in one year. But as the Treasurer's report showed, we had not only passed the thousand mark, but made a good start on the second thousand, and as the advantages of member­ ship came to be better understood, he believed we should continue to grow, and that with the co-operation of the members make our Association the leader in its class.

He took occasion, however, to remind everyone that, in our enthusiasm for the new Whaling Museum, we must not forget or neglect our other notable exhibits, each of which was more interesting and attractive now than ever before. The removal of the whaling material from the Historical Rooms had relieved the congestion there and enabled the Curator to rearrange the collections so that everything showed to better advantage; new items of in­ terest were constantly being added, and many things which could not be shown properly before were now on view. As a local historical museum it had few equals in the State, and its value to the community as time went on was in­ calculable. The Oldest House was gradually being fur­ nished in keeping with its period, and while there was no desire or purpose to fill the rooms with too much material, as choice and appropriate articles of late seventeenth or very early eighteenth century character were available by gift, loan or purchase, they would be given a place, subject to expert approval. The Old Mill, now in charge of a new and competent custodian, was always of interest, and it was expected that before the season was over it would -tit

24

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS

be actually running again and once more grinding corn as of old. He urged the members to go soon and visit all the exhibits and to tell their friends about them.

A cordial welcome was extended to the twenty mem­ bers of the New Bedford Whalemen's Club who had come down especially to attend the meeting and he expressed in behalf of the Association his pleasure and thanks for the support they had given us.

A warm tribute was paid to Mr. Edward F. Sanderson, for the generous gift of his great collections, his foresight in securing and holding the old candle house for us, and the liberal terms granted us on its purchase, which had made the realization of our cherished dream possible. To his friend, the late Rev. Henry P. Schauffler, one of our former vice-presidents, and the man who actually started the movement for this museum, the sad news of whose death in a foreign land had reached us within the month, we also owe, the president said, a great debt, which we are glad to acknowledge at this time.

In closing, the president regretted that he must re­ mind the members that we still needed money. We have the Whaling Museum, but it is not yet paid for, and several thousand dollars must be raised before we can really call it our own.

WILLIAM ROTCH Prize Essay by Robert G. Melendy.

Before Thomas Gray had written his Elegy, before Johnson had compiled his famed Dictionary, before the birth of Burns, before the birth of Charles Lamb, on the small island of Nantucket was born a man in humble sur­ roundings, who was to make more history than any of these. His home was the simple well-directed establish­ ment ruled by love, order, and the principles of Christianity as interpreted by George Fox and his followers. Its head was a peace-loving, shrewd and lovable man—Joseph Rotch. He had come to Nantucket some years since (this was 1734) in a small wooden vessel which sailed from a port near Falmouth, Massachusetts. He had felt that the opportunities offered by Falmouth were too small for him, and so, without money or family, he had decided to emi­ grate to Nantucket. Engaging passage without one cent to pay for it, he trusted to luck and his good God to find him a way from this difficulty. The captain of the ship, a vain fellow, had a great desire for a handsome silk neck­ erchief which Rotch wore, and so a bargain was struck up at the end of the voyage. A few years later, Joseph Rotch had established himself as a cobbler, in this community, and had won the respect of all. He married Love Macy, Frank Macy's sister, one of the good friends, who subse­ quently bore him three sons, William, Joseph, and Francis.

It is with William that this paper will concern itself. Of William's mother, Love, we know little, although one his­ torian with delightful logic has convinced himself as to her size: "He (Joseph) later married Love Macy, sister to old < 26

WILLIAM ROTCH

Frank Macy, who was a very large man of three hundred pounds, and hence the sister must have been large also."

Here our historian sidetracks to deliver a pun which I am sure has weighed heavily upon his chest since he first saw the name of Rotch: "They were married at Nantucket, late in the year, and hence the large breed of Rotches."

Often William helped his father in the shoe shop, which had grown by leaps and bounds since his father's marriage.

Mr. Rotch had been a journeyman cobbler prior to his settling at Falmouth, and in his many travels had learned the most efficient and neat methods then in general vogue.

Thrifty and industrious, as the doctrine of the Quaker demands, they began to accumulate their savings, until one day Mr. Rotch proposed to buy a schooner. Accordingly, he spent considerable time, and finally selected one to his liking. She was immediately chartered for a trip to Spain with a full cargo, and all awaited anxiously the report of her fate. After the usual prolonged delay incident upon the long passages, she was reported to have reached her port safely, and to have delivered her cargo in perfect order. From this time on, William's father was well-to-do.

Miss Julia Rodman's portrait of him rings as true as an old coin: "He was a man of great activity and shrewdness ... .was determined and at the same time had a pleasing address, so generally had his way. He delighted in a joke and was singularly quick at repartee Full of unostenta­ tious benevolences, as a man he was held in high estima­ tion."

Mr. Rotch and his wife, with their thirty-one year old son, William, and his two younger brothers, removed to what is now New Bedford, where Mr. Rotch had already purchased ten acres of choice land. Finding this too much for him alone, he sold small lots of it to various friends.

This colony to the south of Dartmouth, began to thrive, and <{ 27 )S-

WILLIAM ROTCH

Mr. Rotch suggested that it be named Bedford, out of re­ spect for Joseph Russell, whose family name was that of the Duke of Bedford, and from whom he had bought the land. The inhabitants readily adopted his suggestion, and still later it was changed to New Bedford. Speaking of these early days of New Bedford, Leonard Boles Ellis, says of William's father, "Under the mighty impetus given by this energetic business man with his abundant means and skillful methods, the wheels of industry began to move.

Houses and shops multiplied, highways were opened, wharves were built, the population increased, and the river front became the center of an active business." Thus died in 1784 a successful and much respected man, who had been second mayor of New Bedford, leaving three sons who had already been out in the world for many years.

William had gone back to Nantucket, his boyhood home, where he had become one of the leading whaling merchants. He had grown, like his father, into a shrewd and much respected character. The first historian of New Bedford said of him that "his venerable and patriarchal appearance during the latter part of his life is well remem­ bered by the writer. Tall and dignified in his person, his face expressive of benevolence, with his long silvery locks and the drab-colored suit of the style of the Society of Fiiends, combined with his noble and philanthropic character, rendered him an object of profound respect to his fellow citizens, as well as to his numerous friends among the distinguished merchants and men in public life at home and abroad. He was a fine specmen of a merchant, a man of the strictest integrity, frank, generous, high-minded in e truest sense, of broad and liberal views, a friend of the oppressed and down-trodden, in fine, a more perfect char­ acter it has never fallen to our lot to know, and is probably rarely to be met with in any community." *5{ 28 £•>

WILLIAM ROTCH

It was the business policy of William Rotch to own few ships and to make those pay greater, on a percentage basis, than usual by economical fittings, and by selecting for his service the finest of captains, to whom he granted larger parts than usual of the profits. It was this spirit of Chris­ tianity in business, and reliance upon his mind for under­ taking new ideas, that made his life such an unbroken train of successes.

He had married Elizabeth Barney, a Nantucket girl, while still quite young, and they led together a very very happy life. Most of his mornings Mr. Rotch devoted to business, reckoning his accounts, supervising work, meeting captains, attending ship auctions. The afternoons and evenings he gave over to his devoted "Liz". "She was a short and rather stout woman," says her granddaughter, "A noted collector of herbs, she had in her house a large closet filled with them, which she distributed to the sick.

Remarkably fond of flowers, she had a beautiful garden at the back of the Mansion House. Here was a bed of chamomile, a solution of which was supposed to be good for the complexion; there to it came all the young girls of the town. She planted the two curious trees which stood in front of the house. She was a favorite with everyone, es­ pecially with the children, of whom she was herself very fond, and to whom she was very kind and good. Hers was one of those quiet kindly dispositions. She always sat at one place at the table. But one day, accidentally, she changed her seat, and fortunately so, for the ceiling fell upon the spot where she usually sat. It would have killed her."

All during that great struggle with King George and his stubborn, short-sighted minister, Lord North, William Rotch remained here at Nantucket. His ships were con­ tinually taken, his men impressed by Britain, his cargoes 29

WILLIAM ROTCH

were rifled by the starving- colonists. During that war, he lost over sixty thousand dollars, and yet his far sightedness, and his faith in the Peace that was to come, all, were justified in the end. It was fortunate for Nantucket that she had such an able and faithful son, for, "between the devil and the deep blue sea", as has been said, she was at the mercy of both Britain and the United States. It was William Rotch who pleaded with and secured from Admiral Digby, in charge of the British Navy over here, permits for Nantucket ships to whale. It was William Rotch who con­ vinced the Admiral that those permits had not, as he thought, been abused. It was William Rotch who secured permission from the Continental Congress for Nantucket whale ships, and Nantucket whale ships alone, with the British permits, to sail unmolested. It was William Rotch who personally appeared in court at Boston, and caused a man to be repaid whose cargo of oil had been robbed by privateers in defiance of that order of the Continental Congress granting the Nantucketers full rights of the sea.

It was the succession of such successes which brought about his tremendous reputation.

At the conclusion of the War the British Government placed the protective duty of eighteeen pounds sterling upon a ton of foreign oil. Of course, as far as America was concerned, no more oil could be sold there (and Great Britain was the only good market at that time), so the price of oil which had been thirty pounds, dropped because of glutted home markets to seventeen pounds the ton.

Since, according to William Rotch, it cost twenty-five dollars a„ ..to bring in and make a reasonable profit from a ton of oil, at this time they were selling their oil at eight poun s sterling loss each ton. Of course, such a condition cou n°t long last. All sorts of plans were suggested to remedy the situation, even that Nantucket be made a < 30

WILLIAM ROTCH

neutral territory and thus saved from entire ruin. How­ ever, in 1785, due to much pressure upon it, the General Court offered bounties of five pounds sterling a ton on white sperm oil, three pounds on yellow sperm oil, and two on whale, with the restriction that vessels bringing in such oil should be owned and manned throughout by sons of Massachusetts, and that the oil must be landed at a Mass­ achusetts port. That created another bad condition, unforunately; for, due to the bounties, more people at once engaged in the oil business, thinking to make their fortunes overnight, with the result that markets became flooded and prices went still lower. And now the most keen whaleman of them all, William Rotch, came forward to the inhabitants of Nantucket with a plan. Why, said Rotch, should we not go to a market where the demand is still great? Why can we not by arrangement with the government about duties, men and ships, establish in England or France a whaling port of Nantucketers ? Accordingly on the fourth of July, 1785, William Rotch, then over fifty years of age, set sail in his good stout ship, the Maria, Captain William Mooers, Master, accompaned by his son-in-law, Benjamin Rodman, and arrrived in England after a fine voyage of twenty-three days. His first duty was to find lodgings in London, from whence he started a journey to the West of England. He visited the coast from Southhampton to Falmouth, search­ ing the while for the best possible port for his enterprise.

Falmouth harbor pleased him the most. The return to London was made by a roundabout route that he might visit the grave of his brother Joseph, who had died there eighteen years before, scarcely twenty-four years old. His next business was to proceed with his application, and, ac­ cordingly, his friend Robert Barclay "spoke to Harry Beaufoy, a member of Parliament who introduced me to the Chancellor of the Exchequer (the great William Pitt, then 31 ]>f

WILLIAM ROTCH

about twenty-seven years of age)". Pitt heard him re­ spectfully, but put further negotiations as to details in the hands of Lord Hawkesbury, than whom no greater enemy to America ever existed. Hawkesbury was unnecessarily slow, and, to show his mean spirit, kept things at a stand­ still for over half a year by refusing to concede on financial terms. Lord Hawkesbury stated that eighty-seven pounds sterling was sufficient to pay the transportation and settle­ ment expenses of every family of five persons coming from Nantucket to Falmouth but Mr. Rotch said it would take one hundred anyway. Finally his patience at an end, Rotch terminated negotiations, and removed his things aboard the Maria, preparatory to setting out for France. Re­ pentant, Lord Hawkesbury sent word requesting still another interview. But Rotch, doubting and still refusing to be Hawkesbury's cat's-paw, sent him a message, "If Lord Hawkesbury wishes to meet William Rotch, he will find him aboard the ship Maria, until the hour when the ship takes her anchor."

Lord Hawkesbury's desire to meet William Rotch had evidently abated considerably, for the ship Maria sailed, and although the King's fastest mes­ sengers were pressed into service to delay the wealthy Quaker, in order to deliver a still better proposal drawn up

by King George with the able assistance of William Pitt, nevertheless, when they arrived at her port of clearance, she was out of sight on her way to Dunkirk. Arrived there, Rotch immediately established communication with the proper authorities, and after the necessary formalities and introductions, was brought to the five Cabinet Minis­ ters, Calone, Comptroller of Finance, Vergennes, the aged Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marshall de Castro, Minister of Marine, the Prince of Reuber, Generalissmo of Flanders, and the Intendant of Flanders, who all agreed to his pro­ posals. He then returned to Paris, and, according to the < 32 )>

WILLIAM ROTCH

etiquette of the Court, was urged to visit the Palace. He and his son excused themselves, stating that they did not think curiosity would become them, and hoped that their plain way would give no offense. They received a personal note from the King extending invitation for a visit, which favor was seldom granted to any but visiting notables of foreign courts. They did go through the King's private chapel, however, and, according to information left us by his son, Benjamin, the King was present incognito, to see the "wealthy Quaker". Arrangements being completed in five hours, whereby the Nantucketers were granted every­ thing they had desired in England, they made ready to leave for Nantucket to prepare for the exodus. Prominent leaders of the minority in Parliament came to Mr. Rotch, as he was about to leave, in order to secure information to attack Lord Hawkesbury, but Mr. Rotch refused to give it.

William Pitt, thoroughly disgusted with Hawkesbury, even sent the son of the Minister to the United States, George Rose, as plenipotentiary, to state that he had been authorized by William Pitt to guarantee to Mr. Rotch that he could make his own terms. But Rotch stuck to his agreement with Louis XVI's ministers. Over nine Nan­ tucket families, or a total of thirty-three adult persons, moved with William Rotch to Dunkirk where they estab­ lished their own little colony to live under these conditions: they were not to be forced to bear arms for the state, were to have complete religious freedom, were to pay no import duty on their whaling products or food supplies, were to have all the bounties and other privileges of native fisher­ men, were to have the right to command their own ships and choose their own crews, and lastly, they were given official assurance that the French Government would levy increased duty on all oil coming into France from other countries. From this time until 1812, over seventy Nan­ tucket captains commanded Nantucket ships sailing from Dunkirk.

WILLIAM ROTCH

Later, due to embarrassments resultant upon their re­ ligious principles, the Quakers presented a petition to the National Assembly through the intercession of John de Marsiellac, which drew forth much attention in Court circles. The galleries were filled and the guests were many when Mr. Rotch came to present it. In the negotiations for doing so, he was thrown into contact with such world figures as Mirabeau, the President of the Assembly, who was very kind and very pleasant to the "wealthy gentleman from the States", Brissot de Warville of France's State Department, John Marsiellac, Bishop Gregory, Rabant de St. Etienne, then Bishop of Autumn, and the great Tallyrand. Due, however, to the complicated and bloody state of affairs during their Revolution, he found it necessary to move to London. After about a year there with his faith­ ful Benjamin, he returned to Nantucket, now in his sixtyfirst year. The ship Barclay, which Mr. Rotch picked for his return voyage was a beauty. She was under the able command of David Swain, who was justly very proud of her. At her launching, four years before, there had been a large celebration, the builders having two fiddlers to amuse the crowd while the ceremonies progressed. Other interesting ships owned by William Rotch, or members of his immediate family were the Beaver, first Nantucket whale ship to round Cape Horn, and bring a cargo of oil from the West Coast of South America; the Bedford, first ship to display the rebellious thirteen stripes in British waters; the Dartmouth, Eleanor, and brig Beaver, which were the three ships taking part in the famed "Boston Tea Party" of '73. Others of his ships were the Falkland, Diana, Canton, Houqua, Ann, Ospray, Penelope, William Penn, Hope, Lydia, Maria, Harmony, Hebe, Sally, Mary, William Thatcher, Midas, Sophia, William Rotch, Willliam and Eliza, Richmond, Frances, Enterprise, and Pocahontas.

Upon his return to Nantucket, he found that the cli­ mate did not agree with him as well as he liked, and so decided to remove to New Bedford. Also, the harbor hav­ ing filled up considerably, New Bedford became the natural center of his interests. The camels brought forward shortly after his departure came too late, and so he removed his files, his books, and his furnishings from the great counting house at the foot of Main street, and his other belongings from his warehouses on the wharf. It was in that counting house, where the Pacific Club now meets, that he signed the charters of the three "Tea Ships" that later affected the history of the world, and in that house that he carried on his business affairs during his life.

He began, after his removal to New Bedford, to retire, it taking him twenty years or so to complete the process.

He devoted more time to his social activities, more time to his religion, and more time to his philanthropies. During this period he built the Friends Academy, in company with three or four other prominent men. It stood on the south­ west corner of County and Elm Streets, where the County Street Church now stands. Mr. Rotch not only gave the land, which made possible the whole thing, but he gave two thousands of dollars, besides numerous smaller be­ quests of money, books and furniture. By his own enthus­ iasm and quiet effectiveness, he aroused interest enough to move his distinguished son-in-law, Samuel Rodman, and his own son, William Rotch, Junior, to give each two thous­ and dollars. Samuel Elam and James Arnold each gave one thousand, while Thomas Arnold subscribed five hun­ dred. This beautiful and splendid academy stood for many years a tribute to the sagacity, interest, and generosity of William Rotch. It became very successful, over five hun­ dred pupils being taught each year. When Samuel Elam died in 1813, he left the academy his extensive library.

The committee of Friends which accepted it for the school upon his death, excluded the plays of Shakespeare and Ben Johnson, the works of Rousseau, and the novels of Field­ ing, Smollet, and Defoe as being unfit for the students to read. At this period, Mr. Rotch's civic pride was touched by the lack of a sturdy bridge at a spot near Fairhaven, so he built one.

There in his large home he entertained many distin­ guished people, among whom were General Lincoln, of Revolutionary fame, who had received the sword of Cornwallis at Yorktown, and taken him prisoner, Count Rochambeau Liancourt, the philosopher, Peter Grant, the Italian, John de Marsiellac from Languedoc, who, it will be remem­ bered, read the petition to the National Assembly for Mr. Rotch, and many others. It is said that when Marsiellac alighted from the stage which stopped at Mr. Rotch's door, he bestowed an earnest kiss upon the face of the venerable Quaker. A sketch of Mr. Rotch and his house at this time has been left for future generations by the meticulous Daniel Ricketson: "Leaving the wharves, the old ware­ houses, sail lofts and shops, let us wend our way up to the street—old Main Street now Union (Note: Of course this was in New Bedford). Here we see a fine old mansion overlooking its humbler neighbors with its handsome rows of the then favorite poplars, with its front yard and ample entrance—a stately mansion with broad grounds, stables and outbuildings, with all the appointments and appliances of wealth and comfort: It is a meeting day for the Friends. In front of the house is seen a plain but hand­ some coach, with a sleek and fine looking pair of bay horses, a colored driver of respectable appearance, and another servant at the open carriage door. The door of the man­ sion opens, and a courtly, venerable-looking gentleman appears, an advanced octogenarian, tall, and with long 36 }§*•

WILLIAM ROTCH

silvery locks, his dress of the true William Penn order—a drab beaver, a drab suit, the long coat and waist-coat, knee breeches with silver buckles and shoes, also with silver buckles—his step a little faltering, but still graceful and becoming one who had stood before ministers and kings in the Old World—a meek and truly devout disciple, never­ theless, of the Savior of Man, a genuine philanthropist.

Let us see him in his carriage, sitting with patriarchal dig­ nity and follow him to the old Friends Meeting House Seated at the gallery or high seat, at the 'head of the meet­ ing', his very presence seems calculated to inspire a respect for the principles of peace he so truly inculcated both by pre­ cept and example. My elder readers (this was written in 1875) will recognize this as a portrait of the late William Rotch, Senior." His chief commercial interest had now ceased to be in ships but was centered in the tremendous vat houses and try works which formed a part of his Marsh Candle works. Almost all other commercial enterprises he had now given up. More and more he read to his de­ voted "Eliza". Together they many times read the Bible, Paradise Lost, the Spiritual Guide of Michael De Mihnos, Pensees de Pascal, William Law's Spirit of Prayer, Words­ worth's Excursion, Johnson's Lives of the Poets, and numerous other works of lasting value. He took much in­ terest in aiding the poor, the sick, and the needy, took especial interest in caring for several girls who had been inmates of houses of vice, became interested in philosophy, astronomy, the arts. He took his wife to Philadelphia, Boston, Albany, and New York that they might together hear lectures on meteorology which interested them both.

He had a telescope installed that his beloved wife might view the heavens at her pleasure. When finally she died in 1827, in the sixty-ninth year of her age, she left her ninety year old husband little to live for. Honors had been his, 4 37

WILLIAM ROTCH

wealth had been his, but more than these, happiness had been his. Now that she was gone, he, too, was ready to leave this world to meet her in the presence of their Maker.

Scarcely a year later he passed quietly away, leaving the world a far better place than he had found it. Probably Nan­ tucket's greatest son, we today must have double respect and admiration for him, both as a man, as a Christian, and as our benefactor, for it seems now unquestionable and un­ questioned that the name of Nantucket would have died had not William Rotch been born. And so, may we all add our voices to the prayer of the New Bedford Courier, in the longest panegyric it had yet published: "May his bright example, which has so long been spared as a beacon to successive generations be held in grateful remembrance, and be preserved as a model worthy of imitation by his children's children throughout unborn ages yet to come."

THE OLD HOME PORT 0

By Helen Cartwright McCleary. o SCENE I

1659

A tiny shallop, tossing on the Sound, Beaten and buffeted by wind and tide.

A sturdy figure, bending at the helm, Breast-forward, as the seas dash o'er the bows.

A woman, at his feet, with terror-stricken face, Beseeching hands clasped tightly in despair,— "Good husband, spare thy children, spare thy wife!

We fear the storm-wind and the cruel waves; Have mercy! put thy boat about, and speed, 0 speed us, safely home again."

But Goodman Macy, with unflinching gaze Fixed steadily on the horizon's mystic line, Speaks sternly: "Woman, go below and seek thy God; For I fear naught on earth, nor yet in Hell.

See'st thou yon curving shore, low-lying, to the south?

Yonder I steer my course; yonder my haven lies; Naught shall deter me, naught shall turn me back, Till on Nantucket's desert sands, Free from oppression's iron rule, 1 make, for me and mine, a new home-port.

SCENE II 1853 A clipper-ship, full-rigged, her owner's pride!

See how she balances upon the main, Light as a fairy, graceful as a girl!

From jib to tops'l, all sail set, white-winged she flies, Like to a sea-gull, floating free, Its buoyant body borne before the breeze.

How daintily she dips her slender prow Beneath the sparkling waves, the while She beckons to the winds that blow,— Fair winds that fling her billowy canvas wide And send her scudding on her homeward way, A thing of beauty, for all men to see!

Her master, lost in thought, paces the quarter-deck; In fancy, sees his Nancy on the house-top walk, Waiting and watching for the distant sail, i8( 39 }§*•

THE OLD HOME PORT Straining her eager gaze to sight the ship That brings her teas and silks and spices from Cathay.

What now?—the look-out from aloft sings out, "Sail Ho-o-o!"

The captain sweeps the ocean with his glass "Where away?" "Two p'ints, Sir, off the weather-bow, All sail set, an' makin' for us." .... Ah! who knows?

A sister-ship, perhaps, bound home from India.

Now, for a race to port, in goodly company!

The stranger-craft looms near. Oho!—no merchantman— Only a whaler—by her rig. Oh well, here in mid-ocean, She must be hailed, at least.

"Ahoy there! Ship ahoy! Who are you? Where y' from?"

Across the intervening waters comes the cry, "From the Pacific—Ship Venture—Captain Coffin."

"Where's y' port?"

"How long out?"

"What's y' cargo?"

"Nantucket Island."

"Three years, four months."

"Oil—sparm-oil—two thousand barrels."

"Where y' bound?" "Home-port—Nantucket. Say! Who are you?

Don't pass us, mess-mate—-WE WANT NEWS—heave to, can't ye?

Come alongside—have a gam! . . . God! she's gone!"

SCENE III 1930 Between the jetty-lights, at eventide, Marking her course with rippling wake of foam, A stately steamer ploughs her rhythmic way, Crowded, from stem to stern, with "summer-folk" Who hail the island as their pleasure-ground.

The watchers on the wharf set up a shout, "The boat!" "The new boat!" "There she comes!"

"She's whistling—hear her?" "It's the NANTUCKET!" "Sure!"

The steamer forges on—comes swinging round the Point— A ghostly gull glides gracefully athwart her bow, Where stand two figures peering through the dusk. nd one speaks heartily, his weatherbeaten face Aglow with friendliness: "Well, stranger, Cruisin' down along, I 'spose, to rig y' summer-home.

Thats right! No finer spot in all God's universe.

•€f 40

THE OLD HOME POET Look yonder!—There!—across the hills—see that?

That's Sankaty—she winks a welcome—see her flash?

Lord knows Nantucket needs you, stranger, And the island's yours; but don't forget,— (Blue eyes still keen, in spite of years, Compel the other's glance) the men who made it."

"Forget! (quickly the answer comes) Not I!— I could not, if I would. Why, man, my people Were of those who crossed the Sound, in 1659, To find asylum here. They were of those Who sailed the seven seas and chased the mighty whale.

They were of your breed, Cap'n, I feel sure,— My name is Folger. Not many of you fellows left, You old sea-dogs who made Nantucket's fame,— I'm proud to know you. Coming home, you say?— Back to the old home-port?—to stay?—that's fine!

We'll surely meet again—till then, Good Luck!"

The two grip hands. The landing-bell booms out To guide the steamer creeping to the dock.— The call comes, "All ashore!"

A taxi claims the stranger—whirls him off Amid a cloud of dust and traffic-din, Honking of horns and reek of gasoline, The sign and symbol of a restless age.

The twilight deepens—through the gathering mist The curious crowd departs—men seek their homes, Forsake the steamer rocking at her berth, And quiet reigns, once more, while, still aboard, A lonely figure lingers in the bow, His gaze intent upon the grey-roofed town, Whose friendly lights gleam faintly through the fog That wraps it round, as with a mantle soft.

No one is near to see the gesture that enfolds it all, The light that kindles in the keen, blue eye;— No one is near to hear the whispered words That echo, softly, on the evening air:— "North'ard o' sixty—time to shorten sail— Time to heave to an' make things snug an' taut.

Praise be! I've found my moorin's, once again, And come to anchor, in THE OLD HOME-PORT." 41 jSs-
