ANNUAL MEETING The thirty-seventh annual meeting of the Nantucket Historical Association was held in the Old North Vestry, Tuesday afternoon, July 28, 1931. The meeting was called to order by the president, William F. Macy, a few minutes after 3:00 o'clock. By unanimous vote the reading of the records of the last annual meeting was dispensed with, as they are printed in the Annual Report sent to each member. The Secretary, Miss Catherine Ray Eger, then presented her annual report, which was received with approval. It was Mrs. Eger's first appearance before the Association in her capacity as secretary The annual report of the Treasurer, Mrs. Louise Mack Gordon, which followed, showed that the Association is in a very gratifying financial condition, with a total mem­ bership to date of 1179 members. Both the secretary's and treasurer's reports were accepted, and it was voted that they be embodied in the "Proceedings". As usual, the report of Mrs. Nancy Grant Adams, the curator, was replete with interest, outlining the work of the Association the past year and mentioning a few of the more interesting acquisitions to the society's collections. Mrs. Adams' report is always listened to with keen interest. It was voted to amend Section 1 of Article IV of the constitution by the addition of the following clause: "Any person may become and continue a sustaining member by the payment of five dollars a year". <{ 7 )§••


MINUTES OF MEETING

Mrs. Dorothy Sharp Richmond, for the nominating committee, presented the following list of officers for the ensuing year President—William F. Macy. Vice-Presidents—Millard F. Freeborn, William F. Codd, G. Lister Carlisle, Jr., Fred V. Fuller, Mrs. Irving Elting and Thomas H. Giffin. Secretary—Mrs. Catherine R. Eger. Treasurer—Mrs. Louise M. Gordon. Curator Emeritus—Miss Susan E. Brock. Curator and Librarian—Mrs. Walton H. Adams. Councillors for Four Years—Bassett Jones and Ken­ neth Taylor. Auditors—Miss Emma Cook, Miss Hannah Hatch and Albert G. Brock. By unanimous consent it was voted that the Secretary be authorized and instructed to cast one ballot for the nominees as reported by the nominating committee, which was done, and they were declared duly elected. The next business in order was the annual address of the president, who announced, however, that he had pre­ pared no formal address this year, so would confine his observations to offering such running comment as he had already made or would have occasion to make in intro­ ducing the speakers who were to follow. He then an­ nounced the winners of the prize essays by the High School pupils this year and the awards which had been made as follows: 1st Prize—Miss Catherine Jones for "The Wharves of Nantucket." 2nd Prize—Miss Anne Bennett for "Quakerism on Nantucket." 3rd Prize—Miss Florence Miller for "The Life of Tristram Coffin."

MINUTES OF MEETING

The young ladies came forward and received their awards of $10, $5 and $2.50 respectively. The president then stated that it was the privilege of the winner of the first prize to read the winning essay at this meeting. The winner might consider this more of a penalty than a privil­ ege, but he believed it was good practice for the student to stand up before an audience which he assured the reader would be a friendly one. Miss Jones read her paper most acceptably and it was well received and applauded. She had discovered some new material in connection with the wharves which was known to but few if any of those present, and the essay gave evidence of considerable study and research, which, the president stated, was just what the prize competition was designed to encourage. Rev. Charles S. Thurber, chaplain of the Seamen's Bethel in New Bedford, which celebrated its one hundredth anniversary last year, then spoke to the meeting on the work of that famous institution and some of his experien­ ces in connection therewith. Mrs. Richard B. Coolidge, president of the Medford Historical Association, was introduced to the meeting as the daughter of the late Lorin L. Dame, a former teacher in the Nantucket schools. Mrs. Coolidge referred to the work which the Medford society has started, which was small in comparison with that of the Nantucket society, outlining some of the things which she hoped it would be able to accomplish. In closing she referred to the love which she and all members of her family have for Nan­ tucket. George A. Grant, custodian of the Whaling Museum, then recited with gusto the "Rules of the Road at Sea" and another poem of a decidedly nautical flavor, both of which were received with applause. 4 9 >


MINUTES OF MEETING

The President announced that the poem on the "Rules of the Road" had been printed on post cards bearing Mr. Grant's picture, which were on sale to those who might be interested. Over seventy of the cards were sold later after the meeting closed. Don C. Seitz, formerly managing editor of the New York World, who was to lecture before the Association Wednesday evening on "Pirates", was introduced to the gathering and said that he was greatly interested in the Nantucket museums, and especially the whaling museum, but he thought there was one thing lacking there and that Nantucket should make a special effort to have someone present it with a whale. His wit and humor in this sug­ gestion was appreciated. The President then announced that he had been trying to get together a chorus of male voices to sing some of the old sailor "chanties" from books containing the words and music which had recently come to the Whaling Museum library, but he regretted that his efforts had not been successful. A musical number having been planned, however, he called upon Mr. Leo Sabella, a young man with a fine voice who sang "The Road to Mandalay". The gathering showed its appreciation of Mr. Sabella's con­ tribution by enthusiastic applause. Moses Joy was the last speaker of the afternoon. He outlined briefly the results of his efforts to obtain infor­ mation regarding a "sliding scale" rule used by navigators which was found some years ago among articles and papers from the Christopher Mitchell Co.,, one the the most active firms on Nantucket during the whaling days. Mr. Joy said that he had been unable to find anyone who knew how to "read" or use the scale, although his efforts had reached as far as London, and he felt that it was an un­ usual and interesting instrument. He hopes, however, that Captain Egner, of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey 4 10 ja-

steamer Natoma, in port at Nantucket this summer, might be able to furnish some light on this unusual find, which bears a multitude of figures and lines, with references to lunar observations on one side, and solar observations on the other. At the conclusion of Mr. Joy's remarks the meeting adjourned.

SECRETARY'S REPORT To the President and Members of the Nantucket Historical Association: It is Annual Meeting time and as it is the first one that I have ever attended and I am a bit unfamiliar with its procedure, my report as the Association's new secretary will be brief. The year closing has been a prosperous one of untiring effort and accomplishment. All institutions have been well attended. The outstanding event during the past year was the opening of the Whaling Museum at which the total attendance the first season was nearly 10,000 people, which is indeed gratifying. From our curator we learn that it is proving just as popular and just as prosperous this season. During the year we have held five council meetings, all of which have been very well attended, although not a great amount of business has been transacted. We have purchased no more real estate, but have made necessary repairs on the buildings needing them and have provided benches long needed at the Old Mill. It has been suggested that many of our members might be able and willing to contribute something more than the regular one dollar a year dues toward the support of our work. Most organizations such as ours have several classes of membership, but we have never had anything but annual members at one dollar a year and life members at fifteen dollars. After due consideration the council voted at its <{ 12


SECRETARY'S REPORT

last meeting to submit a proposed amendment to the con­ stitution, authorizing a new class of membership to be known as sustaining members, who shall pay five dollars a year, action upon which is to be taken at our meeting today. For the rest there is little to report. Our correspond­ ence steadily increases, and our mailing list lengthens so rapidly that the treasurer and I find ourselves working very busily to keep up with it and to keep our list of mem­ bers complete as well as correct. It has been the custom of the secretary to mention in the annual report the names of those members who have died during the year, but our membership is now so large and so scattered geographically that it is difficult, if not impossible, to keep the run of all the deaths and make the list complete. It would seem better, therefore, to omit this feature of the report altogether rather than to offer an incomplete list. Some of our more prominent members, who have been active in the affairs of the Association, have passed on during the year. In January Capt. B. Whitford Joy, a member of the council and one of our active workers, died suddenly and his loss is greatly felt. Suitable resolu­ tions were adopted by the council, published in The Inquirer and Mirror, and a copy sent to his widow. Mrs. Amelia Westgate and Mrs. Phebe A. Woods, two of our faithful attendants at the Fair Street Museum, have also been called from us, and their presence will be sadly missed by us all. In presenting this, my first report as your secretary, I wish to express my appreciation of the honor which you have conferred upon me and I sincerely hope that your confidence in me has not been misplaced. I am looking forward to enjoying many pleasant hours in the work of so worthy an Association. Respectfully submitted, Catherine Ray Eger,, Secretary. •4 13


SECRETARY'S REPORT

At a meeting of the Council of the Nantucket Historical Association, January 22nd, the following resolutions were adopted: In the passing of Capt. B. Whitford Joy the Nantucket Historical Association has lost one of its loyal members and an earnest worker for the good of the Association and of his native town. As a member of our Council for the last four years he has served us faithfully and efficiently, rarely missing a meeting when on the island, and his wise counsel on all practical questions of administration or policy has been of great value to us all. His interest in and support of the Whaling Museum enterprise were evidenced by the good work he did on the special committee appointed to raise funds for its establish­ ment, and he was an active member of the local committee on the Massachusetts Tercentenary in the summer of 1930. As the very last one of Nantucket's old-time deep-water sea captains his death marks one more milestone in the record of our town's maritime history, and it seems emi­ nently fitting that our Association should call attention to the significance of this fact. To his widow and daughter we express our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement, and we join with his countless friends and associates here and abroad in offer­ ing our tribute of honor and respect to his memory. The Council Nantucket Historical Association.

CURATOR'S REPORT Mr. President and Members of the Nantucket Historical Association: The truth of the old saying that "history repeats itself" is forcibly brought to mind when one endeavors to write an annual report. A review of the year's work shows that its established activities have been continued and some new activities started. At the close of the year we find all the buildings in excellent condition and an able corps of attendants greeting the visitors at each place. The year has been saddened with the loss by death of both the attendants at the Historical Museum, one of whom had been a devoted member of the Association and so loved her duties that she insisted on appearing each day last summer when failing strength barely enabled her to climb the stairs to her place on the second floor. We miss her greatly. The other attendant was with us just one short season, but she was much interested and would have made a valuable helper if she could have been spared to us. We have filled these vacancies with two able and efficient women who seem to have the interest of the Association at heart and we trust they may continue with us for a long period. The attendance at the Historical Museum has fallen off greatly, probably owing to the fact that much of the interest of the transient visitors is for "the things of the sea", and so they spend the short time they are here at the Whaling Museum, the attendance there counting nine thousand six hundred twenty-two visitors. This does not include members who are admitted free. The Oldest House continues to be of interest to the visitors and we are still of the opinion that it would be more attractive to the average person if it could be fur­ nished a bit more than it is at present. We have had prengf 19 }s*


CURATOR'S REPORT

sented to us a very nicely framed photograph of the Old Manor House in England, this being the ancestral home of the Coffin family. The discovery has also been made that we have in our possession several photographic copies of some of the portraits which hang in the Manor House and it is our intention to have these suitably framed. Several articles have been transferred to the Oldest House from the Historical Museum, as well as to the Whaling Museum, so that we are slowly relieving the congestion which has been our great problem for some time. New labels are gradually being made to replace those which have been discolored with age and a new steel filing cabinet has been added to the equipment at Fair Street in which to file numerous photographs and papers which are handled a great deal, thus saving them from wear and tear. We hope soon to start a new catalogue, as the present one is more or less incorrect, since so many articles have been taken from the building. Many letters have been received and answered by your Curator and all donations have been acknowledged. The accessions this year have been fewer in number but all of historic interest. Once more we report the donation of a flag which has flown on a ship which made a trip to the South Pole. This ensign flew on the ship City of New York when she made that famous trip to the South Pole with Admiral Byrd. To prove the authenticity of this ensign we have a photostatic copy of a letter written by Admiral Byrd in which he makes this statement: "In so far as I know this is one of the ensigns which flew on the City of New York." We are indebted to a former Nantucket boy, who is now an official with the United States Shipping Board, for these historic flags. We have received a fine framed photograph of Mr. Joseph C. Brock and a fine portrait of Mr. Charles F Tracey, as well as several small photographs of old Nan20 >


CURATOR'S REPORT

tucket people, the latest acquisition being a colored photo­ graph and miniature of John Taylor Coffin, Esq., of Mere­ dith Bridge, now known as Laconia, N. H. He died in 1860 and the family is now extinct. Through the interest of one of our Vice-Presidents we have come into possession of a copy of the Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and several badges pre­ sented to the donor at various celebrations of the Tercen­ tenary. A former Nantucket lady has sent us a collection of wearing apparel. Among these articles are an old black beaded mantilla, a straw bonnet gayly decorated, green kid gloves, several pairs of old satin boots, a beautiful comb with gold band, a very fine old hair bracelet and an assort­ ment of ribbon belts. Perhaps the finest donation this year has been a pair of Bristol glass steins. These are white with decorations on one side and were presented to the mother of the donor when she was two years old. Several books of poems written by Nantucketers, and a copy of the book "Pathways of the Puritans", have been added to the library. The genealogical department has received a fine chart of the Hussey family and the marriage certificate of two Quakers, Willet Seaman and Mary Jenkins, which was donated by the great grandson of the latter. At the Whaling Museum some changes have been made in displaying the exhibits. A large multiplex display rack has been placed in the ship room which will take care of photographs and pictures for some time, and it is possible to use two sides of thirty-two racks. Many pictures of ships and some of the captains have already been placed on the racks. •4 21


CURATOR'S REPORT

The library continues to grow and new shelves have already been added to take care of the overflow. In Sanderson Hall there has been arranged a special exhibit showing the evolution of the harpoon. Many articles have been donated, purchased or acquired by exchange. Among the latter is a large chair, the seat of which measures 21 x 24 inches. This chair belonged to Capt. Charles Fisher, master of the whaling barque Alaska, which reported taking on May 4, 1884, a large sperm whale which yielded 162 bbls. and 22 gals, of oil, a record amount up to that time. On his return from the voyage several of his brother whaling captains had this chair made for him and presented it to him as the holder of the record. Another article of great interest is a Nor­ wegian flensing knife and a piece of main whaleline which came from Norway through the Director of the Norsk Museum. The most valuable acquisition to the museum this year is the set of seven log-books concerning the Arctic voyages of Captain William Scoresby, Sr., of Whitby, England. These logs are issued in fac-simile by the Ex­ plorers Club of New York, three hundred copies of which were printed and the plates destroyed. We are indebted for this donation to the Explorers Club through the kindly interest of one of our summer Nantucketers. This year has started with a very good record of attendance which increases each week. In conclusion let us remind you that this Association was started with noble and unselfish purposes. Growth is evident on every hand and we hope that those who continue to carry on the work so trustingly launched thirty-seven years ago may do so with a broad vision of the future and a wise understanding, for in this way lies our hope for continued growth and expansion. Respectfully submitted, Nancy S. Adams, Curator. <61 22


WHARVES OF NANTUCKET Prize Essay by Catherine Jones. In a recent excavation of the territory at the head of Straight or Old Wharf (at present date known as Killen's Wharf and in the possession of Killen Brothers) some piles of the first wharf of importance, constructed in 1723 "by Richard Macy, grandson of the original Thomas Macy", were unearthed. This incident has aroused my curiosity as to just what the old wharves were like. However, it seems that the very first wharf was built in 1716, when Joseph Coffin was allowed to build "a wharf at ye old landing forty feet wide, and it shall be his privilege so long as he keeps it in good repair." He must have com­ plied with these requirements, for the privilege seems to have been permanent. It is unknown where "ye old landing" was located. Presumably it was somewhere along where the present wharves now stand. Previous to the increase in shipping and fishing industries there were no demands for substantial landings, so there were "places built off, called landing places, which were but temporary, and were often broken up by winter storm." However, as shipping increased and the whaling indus­ tries flourished, "it was found indispensably necessary to have wharves." When it was decided to move the town to its present site, they laid out fish lots, which ran up to what is now Union Street, then ran north from the South Beach Boat Yard to what is now the Children's Bathing Beach, just beyond the Yacht Club. The privileges ran from the street to the water. On each side of the wharves were "S( 23 )§••


WHARVES OF NANTUCKET

water-lots which were sold to fishermen and those wishing houses, shacks, or shops in that section. Between the water lots and the wharves were ways running down to the water front. Straight Wharf, mentioned above, was the first wharf of interest which was built. It received its name from the fact that it ran straight down from Main Street. It was at this wharf that hundreds, yes, thousands of vessels have loaded and unloaded their freight. Here, too, in the whaling days we would find the since famous whaling fleet. Here were ships from foreign ports, perhaps carrying some cargo which would be rejected and forbidden to be unloaded. Gallant, lofty vessels left this pier for foreign ports or for their country's rights, some never to return. In the days of 1870, many excursion boats visited the island. It was at this wharf that the passengers disem­ barked and strolled about the town for an hour or so and then returned to the boat and sailed home again after a pleasant picnic on the island. Straight Wharf was owned on shares (amounting to 4831) by some of the prominent business men of that period. Later, Edward W. Perry, a merchant, bought this wharf and it still continued as a freight dock. Forty years ago, he was bought out by Killen and Sons who have owned it since. Between Straight Wharf and Old North Wharf a con­ struction known as Cross Wharf was visited by hundreds of "apple sloops" which came often from the "main" to peddle their wares. Cross Wharf was also used as a lumber yard. It was later taken up by the company owning Straight Wharf. While the whaling industry had still to reach its crisis, in the year 1760, the Old South Wharf, now the Island Service Wharf, was started and completed in 1762. The 4( 24 )jc


WHARVES OF NANTUCKET

South Wharf was rebuilt after the decline of the fishing industry into a business wharf. When the United States entered the World War, Henry Lang, who had purchased the wharf, turned the use of it over to the government for the period of the emergency. Since, it has continued as a public wharf for commercial purposes. The shares of this wharf amounted to 3050. In the year 1800 Commercial Wharf was constructed by Zenas Coffin and Sons. This wharf was the only one with a solid foundation, built of rip-rap granite, transported from Connecticut. The other wharves had been made of cribwork. Commercial Wharf was completed in 1820 and con­ trolled by Zenas Coffin and Sons for many years during the whaling period. It was the best-constructed wharf previous to the present Island Service Wharf. Commercial Wharf was one of the busiest during the whaling days and has probably always been devoted to fish­ ing interests. After the decline of whaling this wharf was used by some Cape Cod men for business purposes, such as the East Bank Fishery, the old style mackerel catchers, finally to fresh fishing, icing and shipping. About twenty years ago the wharf was taken up for private uses with the exception of the fishing business known as the "Petrel Crew" who still have the privilege of its use. Situated on Commercial Wharf were three very large buildings, one of which was a sail-loft situated on the north side of the wharf. On the south side was another large building, known as the "Old Candle House". The third building, presumably was known as Charles G. and Henry Coffin Warehouse and was used for the storage of coal, lumber and various other commercial facilities. These build­ ings were eventually torn down and some of the lumber from them was later used in the construction of the large familiar landmark, situated at Squam Head. 4 25 )•>


WHARVES OF NANTUCKET

At this wharf the steamboat docked before the days of a special wharf built for that purpose. On this wharf, too, the Nantucket Fishing Company carried on most of its business. There was also a great deal of activity in boat building. In recent years the gradual decay of Commercial Wharf has brought about a demand for a more substantial landing. This late spring the wharf was given extensive repairs which insure its perpetuity as an ancient landmark for many years to come. The outer end or "tee", at present has not been rebuilt, but new cap-logs of cement replace the former old wooden cap-logs. Peleg's Wharf (now out of existence except for a few rocks which can be seen at ebb tide in the vicinity just south of Commercial Wharf) seems to have been in the minds of the oldest inhabitants, a construction near the end of what is now Lafayette Street. This wharf originally belonged to Peleg Macy. It was used for the storage of coal and lumber. This was a very busy wharf, too, in its day and no small number of packet boats visited it. There remain a few rocks at the site of this construction. Of course, it being necessary to have a passenger ship to carry the inhabitants and mail to and from the "main", it was equally necessary to have a wharf for this purpose. Thus resulted the new North Wharf or as it is now called, the Steamboat Wharf. In the whaling days this wharf was visited by the steamer presumably once a week in winter and every day during the warmer seasons. From the new North Wharf ran the historic Nantucket Railroad. On the arrival of the steamboat, taxis consisting of horses and buggies were lined up along the old pier. After the decline of the fishing industry (1854), the Steamboat Company became the owners, and since then it has been called the Steamboat Wharf. During the winter and spring of 1915 the wharf was rebuilt, since which time it has continued to improve -e{ 26 )>

for the best. At the present date, it is practically owned by the New Bedford, Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket Steamboat Company, which company had been formed by the consolidation of the Nantucket and Cape Cod Steamboat Company and the New Bedford, Vineyard and Nantucket Steamboat Company in 1886. It is the most valuable wharf in docking facilities this side of Newport, which is a credit to the town. To the right of Straight Wharf is the so-called Old North Wharf, which, formerly bore the name, New North Wharf. At one time, (in the 70's) the wharf was partly in the ownership of Barzillai R. Burdett and was known as Burdett's Wharf. It is an interesting fact to note that the wharves were all named according to their owners. Pre­ sumably this wharf had its share of vessels in those days but for some time it has been given up for private uses and is at present owned by Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle is a direct descendant of the Coffin family who built Commercial Wharf. The head of all these wharves was probably on a line with what is now Washington Street. From the head of Commercial Wharf to that of the Old South Wharf, a street was formed which is now known as Whale Street. The head of Straight Wharf and Old North Wharf extended up on a line with South Water Street. The head of Steamboat Wharf and other wharf rights laid out but never completed was on a line with Beach Street, from Broad to Easton Street, as they stand to date. That portion laid out by the old Nantucket Proprietors where the wharves were not put down has been absorbed in private ownership including the Nantucket Yacht Club and Mr. Lang's South Beach. The period of inactivity about the water front, between the decline of the whaling industry and the revival of a de­ mand for wharf property, resulted in decay. With the rapid improvement as a summer residence and considerable in4. 27 ^

crease in fishing, came the necessity for the storage of coal, lumber and gasoline, manufacturing of ice, gas and elec­ tricity. This change brought on an entirely different re­ quirement as to the rights of way, water lots and wharf privileges laid down by the old Proprietors, and most of them have become clear titles by argument and land court.

MEMBERSHIP We are often asked whether a Nantucket ancestry is a required condition of membership in the Association. The only conditions are stated in the by-law printed below, as amended at the Annual Meeting July 28, 1931. Article V, Section 1. Any person may become and con­ tinue a member of this association by the payment of one dollar per year. Any person may become and continue a sustaining member by the payment of five dollars a year. Any person may become a life member, and be entitled to a certificate of membership, on the payment of fifteen dollars. Any person may become a life councillor by a vote of the Association, on the payment of fifty dollars, and shall be entitled to a certificate of membership. The annual tax shall be due the 30th day of June each year.

Attention is called to the Amendment to the Constitution and By-Laws, establishing a new class of members to be known as "sustaining" members at five dollars per year. This is in response to the suggestion often made that many present or prospective mem­ bers would be willing to contribute more than one dollar a year required for annual membership. Most societies such as ours have several classes of members paying different amounts. While no special drive for such members is contemplated at this time, any of our present annual members may, on request, be transferred to the sustaining class, and new members on that basis will be welcome. The Council is trying to effect savings wherever possible. With this end in view it is proposed hereafter to mail only one copy of our Annual Report to married couples where both are members of the Association. The printing and delivery of the Report costs about one-third of the annual dues, and the resultant saving of several hundred copies seems advisable at this time. If, however, any member who does not receive a copy desires one, it will be mailed on applica­ tion to the Secretary. Members are again urged to co-operate with the officers of the Association in helping to increase our membership and, as opportunity offers, to help secure contributions to the Whaling Museum fund, to the end that this valuable addition to our exhibits may soon be, like all our other possessions, free of debt, and the interest we are now paying applied to further increasing our facilities for service in our special field.
