Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Awful Calamities, Or, the Shipwrecks of December, 1839: Being a Full Account of the Dreadful Hurricanes of Dec; 15, 21& 27, on the Coast of Massachusetts, in Which Were Lost More Than 100 Vessels, and Nearly 200 Dismasted, Driven Ashore or Otherwise Damaged, and More Than 160 Lives Destructed, of Which Full St It has probably never fallen to the lot of the citizens of New England, to witness, or record, so many terrible disasters by sea, in the short period of fourteen days, as have transpired within that length of time the present month. Three gales of unequalled fury and destructiveness, have swept along our coast, carrying desolation and death in their stormy pathway, and overwhelming many families in the deepest mourning. Many who entered upon the month of December with a fair prospect of enjoying "a happy new year," and perhaps a long life, now sleep in the bosom of the great deep with the sea-weed wrapped around them, or have been tossed on shore by the bellowing surges, and all bruised and mangled, have been followed, perhaps by strangers, to an untimely grave. Often as we have been called to weep with those who have wept over the sad wreck of human hope, we have seldom met with any thing so well calculated to excite the sympathy of all the friends of humanity, as the melancholy events which we have recorded below. In giving the history of the late dreadful shipwrecks, we propose to speak of the devastations of the three gales separately, first inserting a list, as complete as possible, of all the vessels wrecked or damaged; and then detailing some of the affecting incidents accompanying these disasters. We have been at great pains to collect the materials from the most authentic sources, and have no doubt but this unpretending pamphlet will afford the best account of these remarkable providences of God which will fall into the reader's hands. The first gale. On the night of Saturday, December 14, at about midnight, a violent snow storm commenced along the coast, and continued to rage until late on Monday. During a part of the time, the snow gave place to a freezing rain. About 2, P. M. on Sunday, the rain commenced and the wind at the same time rose to a gale; but it was not until 11, P. M. that the unprecedented and devastating hurricane broke upon the ill-fated shipping. From that time until 2 or 3 o'clock, A. M. of Monday, it continued a perfect tornado. It blew hard all Monday, and Monday night, but the most damage was done on Sunday night. The following is a list of the vessels wrecked or damaged, as far as has been learned.

Download or read book Materials of the Mind written by James Poskett and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-02-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phrenology was the most popular mental science of the Victorian age. From American senators to Indian social reformers, this new mental science found supporters stretching around the globe. Materials of the Mind tells the story of how phrenology changed the world--and how the world changed phrenology. This is a story of skulls from the Arctic, plaster casts from Haiti, books from Bengal, and letters from the Pacific. Drawing on far-flung museum and archival collections, and addressing sources in six different languages, Materials of the Mind is the first substantial account of science in the nineteenth century as part of global history. It shows how the circulation of material culture underpinned the emergence of a new materialist philosophy of the mind, while also demonstrating how a global approach to history could help us reassess issues such as race, technology, and politics today.
Download or read book Hurricanes written by Paul V. Kislow and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hurricane is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour or more. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral around a relative calm centre known as the "eye." The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane approaches, the skies will begin to darken and winds will grow in strength. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring torrential rains, high winds, and storm surges. A single hurricane can last for more than 2 weeks over open waters and can run a path across the entire length of the eastern seaboard. August and September are peak months during the hurricane season that lasts from 1 June to 30 November. This book presents the facts and history of hurricanes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores key events in US maritime history from the 1820s to the end of the Civil War through the biography of the sailing ship William Badger Taking a biographical approach to his subject, Peter Kurtz describes three phases of the life of the William Badger, a sailing ship with a long and exemplary life on the sea: first as a merchant ship carrying raw materials and goods between New England, the US South, and Europe; second as a whaling ship; and finally as a supply ship providing coal and stores for the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron in Beaufort, North Carolina, during the Civil War. Kurtz begins Bluejackets in the Blubber Room by exploring early American shipbuilding and shipbuilders in the Piscataqua region of Maine and New Hampshire and the kinds of raw materials harvested and used in making the wooden sailing ships of the time. After its construction, the Badger became part of the key economic trade between New England, the US South, and Europe. The ship carried raw materials such as timber from New England to New Orleans and subsequently cotton from New Orleans to Spain and Liverpool, England. Using ship logs, sailors’ accounts, and other primary sources, Kurtz delves into both the people and the economics of this critical “cotton triangle” trade. Following service as a merchant ship, the Badger became a whaling ship, carrying its New England–based crew as far as the South Pacific. Kurtz presents a colorful story of life aboard a whaling ship and in the whaling towns ranging from Lynn, Massachusetts, to Cape Leeuwin, Australia. Finally, Kurtz describes the last phase of the Badger’s life as a key player as a supply ship in the Union Navy’s blockade effort. Although not the most dramatic duty a sailor could have, blockade supply nevertheless was critical to the United States’ prosecution of the Civil War and eventual victory. Kurtz examines the decision-making involved in procuring such ships and their crew, notably “refugees” and escaped slaves known as “contrabands.”
