Gazette Chronicle: Salty Cheer
Salty Cheer From Dorothy Cottle Poole’s Christmas at Sea: In 1831, the Nile out of New Bedford, Capt. James Townsend, was in the South Atlantic off Patagonia. His logbook entry for Christmas Day reads: “All the day strong winds and rugged. Boiling all day. In the afternoon, cut in the whale — lost most of the bone.” Three years later, again off the coast of Patagonia the entry for Dec. 25 is: “A fresh breeze from west southwest and flying clouds all day. Finished boiling and stowed down the oil. Saw a ship to the leeward. Oil stowed about 90 barrels.”

Gazette Chronicle: Son of a Blacksmith
Capt. Edward A. Perry of Oak Bluffs, a descendant of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, is one of the survivors of the era of wooden ships and iron men who has sailed every ocean and visited almost every country whose shores are washed by salt water. Capt. Perry was born in Pawtucket, the son of a blacksmith and forty-niner who had no love for the sea. But the captain inherited the instincts of the old commodore and when his family moved to Bourne, while he was a small boy, he promptly found his way to the river and was soon afloat with his playmates.

Gazette Chronicle: Border Lines
The boulder-strewn hills of the Vineyard are enduring but many of the relics of a more recent past are not. Consider the split rail fences of fragrant cedar. A generation ago they were familiar in the landscape, though not so much as the stone walls.

Tuesday Chronicle: Wicked Good
From a Visitor’s Diary in 1872: The diary of a visitor to Oak Bluffs in 1872 gives not only a record of what summer visitors sought and found but also invites many contrasts with the present. Here are reproduced segments of the diary written by Henrietta R. Hawes, and her comments have preserved more than a little of her personality.
