Excerpt: ...In February, 1835, the following account was also published in the magazine: --" The ' Elizabeth Rashleigh, ' of Plymouth, from Quebec for Padstow, experienced a violent gale of wind from w. s. w., on the 4th u1t., in 48 N., long. 27 w., and became water-logged. During the storm, six of the crew were washed overboard; the master, two mates and three seamen took to the long-boat, and were icked up by the ' Caroline, ' after having been nine days in that perilous state, during w ich time one of the unfortunate sufierers died insane. As the only means of saving their lives, the survivors were obliged to have recourse to the horrible expedient of drinking the blood and eating the flesh of their deceased shipmate, even to the entrails. Previously their only sustenance had been a few raw potatoes, ' which had been exhausted for some days, though only a single potato was served out to each man per diem. The captain, Rashleigh, still lies at Plymouth, in a very dangerous state." In February, 1836, an account was published respecting the " Earl Killie," Captain Hindmarsh, formerly an East-india-man, a vessel about 560 tons, left Quebec on the 15th of November, loaded Mr. G. c. S, 't;, . with deals, bound to London, with a crew of 28 men and one passenger. She was upset 4 June 1839. in a gale of wind; several men perished. When she righted, her deck-load, anchors and chain cables were gone, and the survivors lived upon rats and the dead body of the mate until taken off by the Marsden, Captain Hall Robson, of Sunderland, from Quebec, bound to Hull, The same month a statement was extracted from the New York Advertiser, respecting the Edgar, a ship Tiber, Captain Oliver, from Hamburgh, fell in with it; four...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This book is a guide to the study of the most marvelous structures ever built by humankind - wooden ships and boats. It is intended for nautical archaeologists and for anyone charged with documenting and interpreting the remains of wrecked or abandoned vessels. It will also be of value to historians, authors, model builders, and others interested in the design and construction of wooden watercraft of the past." "The text is divided into three parts. The first introduces the discipline and presents enough basic information to permit the untrained reader to understand the analysis of ship and boat construction that follows. Part II is broken into three chapters that investigate ancient, medieval, and post-medieval shipwrecks and supporting documentation. Not all of the world's ship and boat excavations can be included, in this single volume; nautical archaeology has progressed two far for that. Instead, these three chapters have been assembled to represent a cross section of ship building technology as seen through the interpretation of a select group of finds." "Part III addresses the techniques of recording hull remains, assembling archival information, reconstructing vessels, and converting data into plans and publication. It is by no means a "how-to" section. Sites, logistics, and the wrecks themselves vary so much that, like wooden ship building, this discipline can never become an exact science. Rather, the third part of the book discusses work done on previous projects and suggests additional methods that might prove helpful to readers in their own endeavors." "The book contains an illustrated glossary, specifically designed for archaeological use. There is also a select bibliography annotated where titles do not indicate content and arranged in historical groups to provide sources for most areas of research."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
