627 HARWICH VESSELS 1872-1900 APPROVED BY: THE THE SIDNEY BROOKS SCHOLARS HARWICH HISTORICAL SOCIETY Al: BROOKS ACADEMY MUSEUM 1998
INTRODUCTION AB OUT HARWICH Every indicator points to a rich maritime heritage for the Town of Harwich. The Official United States Census for 1850 shows that 71% of the males of Harwich, age fifteen and older, were "mariners", or, "master mariners", indicating that their work was aboard ship, at sea. The Census also shows clearly, the change in employment that took place in Harwich, as in many other coastal towns in New England, from 1850 to 1900. The development of the railroad and the steamship, made commerce under sail obsolete by the turn of the century, or shortly, thereafter. By 1900, the Census data places 24% of Harwich males in the "mariner", "master marine?' category. A dramatic change from 1850!! ABOUT THE SIDNEY BROOKS SCHOLARS In 1995, the Executive Committee of the Harwich Historical Society approved the formation of the "SIDNEY BROOKS SCHOLARS", to undertake original research at the Brooks Academy Museum. The group drew its name from the founder of Brooks Academy, and his custom of referring to all his students, male or female, as the "Scholars". The present-day "Scholars" are: Lee Robinson Chase (LC) Gale Crowell Pina (GP) John L. Roche (JLR) Estelle Holmes (EH) Kathleen Remillard (KR) Roy Terwilliger (ROYT) Sally Ann Owens (SAO) Wayne Robinson (WR) George Thurlow (GT) (A Scholar's initials after a vessel's name, in the INDEX, indicates authorship) ABOUT THE RESEARCH The following pages contain information regarding 621 vessels having some kind of Harwich connection, during the period from 1872 to 1900/01. By intention, this research reflects one and only one source: THE HARWICH INDEPENDENT. There is no suggestion or claim to "completeness", in this work. Rather, we ask the reader to marvel, as we do, at the amount of information one may glean from the typical, once or twice weekly paper, of that era, even though modern standards for spelling, etc., are very different from those of the 19th century. For the people of Harwich, the "Independent" was their newspaper, telephone, radio, television and yes, their Internet, all in one!! ABOUT THE SKETCHES In addition to his other "Scholar" work, Wayne Robinson created the wonderful sketches seen throughout this report. It would not be the same without them!
