Nautical charts (1855-1877) used by Meltiah and Carrie Richardson for transatlantic voyages Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Map	People Places Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner		1855	No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only	Nautical charts (1855-1877) used by Meltiah and Carrie Richardson for transatlantic voyages Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2015.315.2076 Type: Map Subject: People Places Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner Date: 1855 Description: Charts, nautical. Collection of ten 1855-1877 nautical charts of various sizes pertaining to the northeast coast of the United States, and the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, some with cotton fabric backing and cloth borders; all were rolled up inside a canvas drawstring carrying bag. (Charts are numbered 1-10 see full descriptions elsewhere.) Chart 1 is the most important and the most fragile of the set. It is stamped twice in black ink with "M. J. Richardson" and clearly plots at least two 1877-78 transatlantic voyages through the Strait of Gibraltar by Great Cranberry Island captains Meltiah J. and/or his spouse Mary Catherine "Carrie" Stanley likely aboard their three-mast schooner, Carrie M. Richardson (built in nearby Manset harbor 1874. See 2017 exhibit of chart and accompanying journals). Chart 6 has M. J. Richardson's name written in pencil on the reverse. Several charts are annotated in pencil and pen with dates and direction of sea voyages, and some have red ink dots indicating navigational aids (nuns and buoys). These charts were inherited by Stanley descendants and originally came from the Lewis Stanley boatyard and/or house on The Pool on GCI. Captain Lewis G. Stanley (1869-1957) was son of Enoch B. Stanley, Sr. (1820-1903). Meltiah J. Richardson married Mary Catherine "Carrie" Stanley (sister of Lewis) in 1870.) Chart 1 is 42” high by 60" wide and was in dire need of conservation. Conservation, encapsulation, digitization, printing and mounting were done at NEDCC August 2016. See documentation and digital files. (Prior to conservation: A piece missing from around the Yucatan peninsula,discolored, and very musty. Ink smudges in the center of the chart.) It’s actually two maritime charts laid side by side on the same cloth backing; used many times; well worn. Schooners known to be associated with Meltiah Richardson are the Hussar, Quickstep, and the Carrie M. Richardson. Legend on lower left corner reads: “Chart of the North Atlantic Ocean. From the most recent British, French, and United States Surveys. Sheet I. Hydrographic Office – U.S. Navy 1369. With variation curves for 1871”. The legend on the lower right side of the chart reads: “Chart of the North Atlantic Ocean from the most recent British, French, Spanish, Portugese, Belgian, Dutch, German, Danish and Norwegian surveys. Sheet II. Hydrographic office U.S. Navy. With variation curves for 1871. Only the most important lights are given on this chart.” There are calculations and dates in pencil along edges of chart and along coastline of the mid-Atlantic and southern U.S. coast. Two voyages are plotted across the ocean indicating dates and occasional notes. Journey 1 runs from October 19, 1877- November 20, 1877 from Malaga (on the southeast coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea, through the Strait of Gibraltar) heading east to Cape Lookout, NC, bound for Philadelphia. Journey 2 runs from October 3, 1878 - November 16, 1878, from Cadiz, (on southwest coast of Spain, north of the strait of Gibraltar), heading east to the Chesapeake Bay area of MD/VA, bound for Gloucester. (See scans of wallet journal made 7/29/16 relating directly to chart 1.) See separate document for specifics for each of the 10 charts. (See Exhibits2017 on NAS for displays and texts relating to these charts.) (See also Macfarlan's personal collection - chart of Ireland, and 2002.20.44 Hadlock chart around Norway.) [show more]

Nautical Almanac 1876 for schooner Carrie M. Richardson Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Publication, Book	Places Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner		1876	No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only	Nautical Almanac 1876 for schooner Carrie M. Richardson Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2017.389.2164 Type: Publication, Book Subject: Places Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner Date: 1876 Description: Journal. Nautical Almanac 1876 containing tables of sun's declination and equation of time and tide by D. Eggert's sons, 23 pages, annotated by Carrie M. Richardson aboard the schooner Carrie M. Richardson. Recording the sun sightings for navigating voyages using dead reckoning; transatlantic journeys are plotted on nautical chart 1 and possibly others of 2015.315.2076. .) From the Lewis Stanley descendants collection. (See also 2015.316.2077 and 2017.388.2163 Initial review of the annotated Nautical Almanac of 1876 indicates that it records the Carrie M. Richardson's journey east from New York starting June 23, 1876; arriving Seville July 22, and departing Seville August 3. She arrived at Cadiz August 5 and left for Boston August 12. A wonderful addition as Nautical Chart 1 (2017.315.2076) only plots the west to east legs of two 1877 and 1878 Spain-to-Cranberry Isles voyages. Decipher the chronometer dead reckoning entries in this Almanac should enableus to plot the route she sailed to reach Spain. (Scanned July 2017) [show more]

Trailboard from sloop; Stanley cemetery post; powder horn Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Object, Other Object	Places, Cemetery Places, Island Vessels, Boat, Sailboat			No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only	Trailboard from sloop; Stanley cemetery post; powder horn Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2017.391.2167 Type: Object, Other Object Subject: Places, Cemetery Places, Island Vessels, Boat, Sailboat Description: Collection of three items. (A) Trailboard from a Friendship sloop. Letters visible: “BUILDER FRIENDSHIP, ME” on one side, and “WILBUR A. MORSE, BUILDER” on the other side. Carved with leaves and wavy line on both sides. Donor believes this could be the trailboard from one of Peter Richardson’s Friendship sloops. Richardson kept five Friendship sloops where Heliker LaHotan now stands (the old Stanley boatyard).(Trailboards are a pair of decorative boards at the bow of a sailboat, running from the figurehead back towards the hawsepipe.) (Measurements: 35"L x 6"H x 8.5"W)Note: On 10/14/16 Captain, historian, and boat builder Ralph Stanley visited GCIHS and commented on the trailboard. Ralph explained that donor's Friendship sloop, Old Baldy, was bought from its original owner; Kathy Newman owns it now. Jarvis Newman restored it. Stanley believes that the sloop that the trailboard came from was Little Flirt. (Apparently, the intended name was Alert, but William Doane Stanley had also named his boat Alert.) Eventually, Little Flirt had Sweet Pea painted on her stern. Whoever gave Lou Alert’s trailboard, likely found it in the field by Lewis Stanley’s boat yard (Ralph Stanley’s Uncle Lew) after the boat was destroyed and the ruins put in the field. He believes a full trailboard would have included the date made, 1904, and would have had an eagle’s head on the end. Ralph will check and see if Kathe Walton has the head.(B) Stanley cemetery wooden post. A broken post with carved top intact for exhibit purposes and for use as a model for new fence posts for the 2014 restored Stanley cemetery. (There are several more broken fence posts currently at the cemetery.) (Measurements: 41"L x 6" Diameter)(C) Powder horn from donor's family. Lovely, plain, unornamented horn which Donor used with her muzzle loading rifles and as a prop in a play. Has string attached by screw; two drilled holes; hollow. It was probably acquired in Ohio. No direct connection to GCI other than Lou Millar's use in her long and interesting life and it’s a neat artifact. (Measurements: 14.5"L x 3.5"H x 3"W) [show more]
