INTRODUCTION
In 1896, when Rev. E. Victor Bigelow, a member of the com-
mittee on Town History, volunteered to write a history of the
Town of Cohasset, Mr. and Mrs. George L. Davenport were
engaged by the committee to write a Genealogy of Cohasset
Families.
The narrative history was completed and published in 1898,
but the genealogy requiring infinitely more research, it was not
possible to publish it with the earlier volume, and it was not
until October, 1908, that the book was ready for the press.
In the ten years that have elapsed since the publication of
the history, there have been some changes in the town, and the
committee on Town History have taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity to bring the History up to date. In the narrative history
subjects were omitted which might properly have been included ;
we have therefore added a number of chapters containing matter
which it is believed is of sufficient importance to be preserved.
We wish to acknowledge our obligation to those who at then-
own expense have furnished half-tones for many of the illustra-
tions, and especially to Mr. Russell B. Tower, who has made
from old oil paintings several negatives from which half-tones
have been made.

PREFACE
This genealogical record of the families of Cohasset has
been prepared at the request of the Committee on Town His-
tory, and is printed as the result of the vote of the town,
March 3, 1908.
It was found very unsatisfactory to begin with the date
1770, when the second precinct of Hingham became the town-
of Cohasset, and the rule adopted was to take each family as
soon as it became resident upon land now included in this
town. Besides this " Rocky Nook " was included as being at
one time a part of Cohasset. The work is brought down to the
close of 1907, with as much added for 1908 as could be obtained
up to the time of going to press.
The basis of the work is the town and church records, and
these are supplemented by those of other towns, printed and
unprinted, and other genealogical records, and by family records,
deeds and wills. As there was no record of deaths kept from
1747 to 1798, and Joel Willcutt's diary begins only in 1791, the
date of decease of many prominent persons is conspicuously
wanting. For this period the cemetery inscriptions are the
chief authority, but there is no record of the names of the many
placed in tombs.
In early years baptisms rather than births were recorded.
In some instances these took place on the very day of birth,
but it was more often the following Sunday.
Much help has been derived from the Hingham Genealogies
in writing out our families before 1 770, but all has been compared
with our records, and in many cases it has been possible to make
corrections or to add new matter. Only residents of the
town (the second precinct of Hingham before 1770) are in-
cluded, and those only who appear in some way on the records.
vi Preface.
One or two exceptions have been made when these seemed
justified.
The method of arrangement used is that indorsed by the
New England Historic Genealogical Society, and is essentially
the same as that of the Hingham Genealogies. Whenever
possible the line of ancestors going back to the "emigrant" is
given, numbered, in parenthesis after the name of the head of
each family. Where this cannot be done the names of his
father and mother are given in the parenthesis, sometimes
followed by those of grandparents. The head of each family
has his own number, and this number, after number one, is
found at the left of his name in his father's family, except in
one or two cases where the father was not of this town, yet
Closely related to others here.
In early times the spelling of Christian names was so varied
that it has been thought better to enter them as found. Names
of those born within the last fifty years or so have been given
in the generally received form, so far as practicable. Much
assistance has been received from members of the families
given, but in one or two instances it has come too late for use.
It must be remembered that authorities often differ in the
matter of a date, and in such a case the compiler must use his
judgment as best he can.
Double dating was used up to 1752 for the dates between
1 Jan. and 25 Mar., as the year legally began on the latter
date. For instance, Rev. Nehemiah Hobart began to live in
his house "Jan. 20, 1724-5." His first child was born Nov. 6,
1725; that is, the November following. In bringing down the
dates of the first half of the eighteenth century (until Septem-
ber, 1752) to the present time, eleven days should be added.
Thus the two-hundredth anniversary of the raising of Parson
Hobart *s house will occur on Oct. 26, 1922.
When giving the public offices, held by individuals, their
election at town meeting was taken as proof of their serving.
In a few instances they were excused and did not hold office,
but reference to the note by Mr. N. B. Tower under "Town
Officers " will lead to the needed corrections.
We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. George
Preface. vii
Lincoln of Hingham for the help his work has given us, and
we owe thanks to Mr. Wilford J. Litchfield and to Miss Ella
Bates for assistance in tracing Scituate connections.
There are many names and dates wanting that time and
further research may discover, but it has been our earnest
endeavor to make our work as complete as possible.

Of the grandsons of Clement, who settled in Hing. in 1635, two,
Joseph and Joshua, sons of Clement's son Joseph, took up their
abode in the sec. pre. some years before 1700. Later their nephew
David, son of their brother Caleb, followed them. From these
three are descended most of the Bates families of Coh. A few
other descendants of Clement, one family from his brother Edward,
and several, not, thus far, traceable to their emigrant ancestor,
add to the number bearing the ancient name of Bate, or Bates.

Tower. She was b. in Hing. 16 Mar., 1674-5, and d. before
1757. Pie d. April, 1757. Member of 1st School Com. 1728.
One of three to make plan for new meetinghouse in 1746, the
others being James Stutson and John Stephenson. It seems
certain that his house was built in 1695, before the first child was
born, on the west side of what is now South Main St., on lot 40
of the 1st div. In 171 1 he was taxed for 1 house, 2 acres farm,
6 pasture. In his will, probated 14 Oct., 1757, Joshua Bates
gives to his dau. Bathsheba Perry "half an acre of land where her
house now stands"; to his son Joshua, land in the 3d div., "where
his house now stands"; to Solomon the lot "where his house now
stands," this being near Bathsheba's in lot 19 on South Main St.,
a little south of Beechwood St.; to Jacob "all my homestead,
housing, and land adjoining, with shop and tools." The tax lists
show that Jacob lived in the house with his father. In 1749,
Joshua was taxed for \ dwelling house, | acre orchard, \ acre
tillage, 6 pasture, 4 slaves, 2 cows. His house remained in pos-
session of his descendants till about 1900, but is now owned and
occupied by James Dean. It is doubtless the oldest house in
town.

1755. He had no children, and his principal heir was his wife's
grand-nephew, Thomas Lothrop, then fifteen years old. To him fell
John Jacob's "old house," on the site of which he later built a new
one. To Cushing Kilby, his wife's nephew, he left one moiety of
his new dwelling-house, and Kilby or his heirs afterwards purchased
the other part. This was on So. Main St., on the site of the present
home of Mrs. John Lincoln. He was taxed in 1749 and 1753 for
only one house, but he may have had an old one which was
demolished, and on the site of which Thomas Lothrop built his
house about 1760, on what is now Spring St. He was one of the
founders of the first church, one of its first deacons, was usually
styled " Captain," and was an important and greatly respected
member of the community.

LITCHFIELD.
Of the many descendants in Cohasset of Lawrence Litchfield,
who settled in Scit. shortly before 1646, the greater number are of
the family of his great-great-grandson James"' , who came to the
Beechwoods about 1760. A few families are derived from Capt.
Daniel3, of Scit., a younger brother of James"', and others from a
still younger brother, Dea. Israel5, also of Scit. Another group of
families originates in Lothrop5, a cousin of these brothers. Besides
these there are one or two, no doubt of the same stock, which can-
not thus far be rightly placed.

Edward1, b. in Eng., 1604; came to Cambridge, 1640, with wife

and in Cambridge, Mass., 1671. Elected fourth president of
Har. Coll., 1675; d. 1681. Of Edward2 but little is known. He
was a lieutenant in King Philip's War.

was settled in ministry at Eastham, where he m. 10 Aug., 1724,
Margaret, dau. of Samuel and Margaret (Johnson) Haugh. He
d. at Wellfleet, 21 Jan., 1732.
There is much circumstantial evidence to show, though no
record of it has been found, that his widow, Margaret, married,
about 1733, James Stutson of Hing., sec. pre. The youngest
child of James and Margaret was named Atherton Haugh. Of
the four children of Rev. Josiah and Margaret (Haugh) Oakes one
had died in Eastham; the others, Joshua Doane, Urian, and
Samuel, were doubtless brought up in Hing., sec. pre., with their
half brothers and sisters.
Joshua Doane4 (Rev. Josiah3 Dr. Thomas2 Edward'), b.
Eastham, 2 June, 1726, "shipwright," died at the house of
James Stutson, 16 June, 1749. On the preceding day he
"called his Eldest Brother Urian to his bedside and gave him
his best suit of Cloath and his watch, and to his brother Samuel,
the rest of his cloaths, his silver shoe buckles and knee buckles,
and to his wife the remainder of his estate." His wife's name
was Mary, and she may have been a niece of Mrs. Sarah Jacob,
who was present with Leah Egree, soon to be the wife of Urian.
Nothing further is known of Samuel4, all of the name in Coh.
being descended from Urian.4

STETSON (STUTSON).
1. James4 (James3 Benjamin2 Robert1), b. in Boston, 11 Sept.,
1699; m. abt. 1733, Margaret . There is convincing circum-
stantial evidence that she was Margaret (Haugh) Oakes, dau. of
Samuel Haugh and widow of Rev. Josiah Oakes, but no record of
her second marriage has been found, and there is no record in
Coh. either of her death or of James Stutson's. In the Central
Cemetery their children are buried beside those of Josiah and
Margaret Oakes.
The first mention of James Stutson in records of Hing., sec. pre.,
is as follows: "12 Aug., 1724 — voated that Jeams Stutson should
have one pound six shillings for work done in the meeting-house
about ye deacons seat, and making a closet under the pulpit and
rinding a lock and putting it on closet door." In 1749 he had
the largest farm in the Beechwoods, but in 1750 he owned the land
on Main St. south of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, and prob. lived in
the house, which (enlarged) is now Dr. H. E. Fernald's. Before
1763, he built a house on what is now Elm St., where he probably
died in 1772. "Farmer," "housewright," and "shipwright."
He was one of the builders of the new meeting-house in 1747, and
purchased the old one, the timbers and panels of which he used
in building several Coh. houses.

* Nichols Tower (born 1787, died 1866) was an instance of a
man who helped to make Cohasset a town in which its inhabitants
could earn their living. His father, Levi Tower, had been one of
the first shipwrights and vessel owners in Cohasset, and Nichols
early in life became a vessel owner in partnership with his father,
and later owned for himself and in connection with others many
of the vessels built at Cohasset.
He commanded at times some of the vessels which he owned,
and Frank Pratt speaks of him as captain of the schooner Tower
on a fishing trip. He paid particular attention to the wrecking
business, raising or salving many vessels wrecked on the Massa-
chusetts coast.
John Henry Cook was a member of his crew on two occasions
when expeditions were made to the Spanish Main to recover
treasure lying in vessels sunk there.

tail coat to the day of his death.
In addition to the town offices held by him, he was one of the
county commissioners for some years, Doane street, running from
Beechwood to Hingham, being named in remembrance of his
services in this capacity.
Many deeds and wills made before i860 are found in his hand-
writing.

* Captain Martin Lincoln's title came to him from the militia and
not from the sea, for he was a farmer and tilled the land which
his ancestors had tilled from 1750. The occupation of farming
was his daily occupation from boyhood until within twenty years
of his death.
In his younger days he had the monopoly of such simple law
business as could be transacted by the country justice of the
peace. He was at one time president of the Cohasset Mutual
Fire Insurance Company, but did no other insurance business. In
the last years of his life he was president of the Cohasset Savings
Bank.
He was a man of good judgment, conservative in his ideas and
was a citizen who enjoyed the confidence and respect of his fellow
townsmen, who elected him to serve as their representative twice
in the Massachusetts Legislature, as well as on the Board of
Selectmen for many years. Under his supervision was built that
portion of South Main Street running across the meadow by the
Catholic Church, known for many years as the "New Road."
He also straightened Beechwood Street at what is known as the
"Point of Rocks."

During the Civil War he was active in recruiting. A man of
very few words, and those uttered with the utmost moderation, he
seemed to typify in his dignified bearing the Puritan, of which type
he was the last representative. Albeit of a disposition which did
not encourage familiarity, he was not without a sense of humor,
as is shown by the following anecdote related of him. At one
time at a meeting of the Selectmen for making up the annual
accounts for the town book it was suggested by him that James
H. Nichols must have a bill against the Town which had not
been presented, namely for "Removing Snow from South Main
Street." As Mr. Nichols had during the year married Miss
Ruth Snow, of South Main Street, and removed her to his
home on the Common, the application of the witticism was easily
perceived.

* Levi N. Bates, who was a member of the School Committee
for twenty-eight years, brought to that office a mind better
stored with learning than is customarily found in the person of a
country storekeeper. He early in life devoted himself to the
study of the French language and became proficient in its use, both
in conversation and reading. He organized classes of young people,
whom he taught without pay, and by his influence had the study
of this language carried to a point in the Cohasset High School
further than was then pursued in many colleges. His influence
in this respect is still felt in the High School course.
He was also proficient in the use of the Spanish and Portuguese
languages.
He was a lover of music, as was natural in the son of the man
who made the first two pianos owned in Cohasset.
504 History of Cohasset.
He also was an amateur in the fine art of painting, and did work
in this line which was not without merit. The flower garden more
than the kitchen garden appealed to him. In short his was one
of those fine grained natures which took pleasure in the aesthetic-
side of life.
He was the village apothecary for years and was the treasurer
of the Cohasset Savings Bank up to the time of his death.

* Edward Tower, while he served the town in the different
offices enumerated above, will be best remembered as a member of
the School Committee, of which he was a member twenty-three
years, from the time when the schools were conducted under the
district system up to the time when something like a system of
graded schools was being evolved. A school master himself when
a young man, he understood the needs of the schools and was
especially well versed in everything pertaining to their physical
welfare.
He acted as postmaster for many years in the northerly end of
the building now occupied by Norris Brothers, and in addition
did what surveying was called for in the town.

* Abraham H. Tower, known as Captain Tower, or as Captain
Abraham Hubbard, was one of the solid citizens of the town.
The pronunciation of his middle name Hobart as Hubbard, which
was the only pronunciation used by people of his own age, was
not incorrect, but was the pronunciation brought over from England,
where it is so pronounced to-day. And Captain Tower served as
a link between the old and the new in other ways than in the
pronunciation of his name.
In the old meeting house he was always found in his pew on
Sunday, carrying out the old fashioned custom of standing during
the prayer. And in his house on the plain the ample fireplaces

served their purpose of giving heat long after they had been
bricked up in other houses in the town, while every year his wood
lots furnished a goodly store of wood for these same fireplaces,
which was piled in the yard by the side of the house.
Early in his life he followed in the footsteps of his father as a
vessel owner, and almost the last vessel built in Cohasset, the
Charlotte, was owned by him. Many of the vessels owned, or
partly owned by him, were engaged wholly or in part in foreign
commerce, but many of them, and in the latter part of his life,
all of them, were fishing vessels.
A huge pile of cord wood placed on the Common opposite
his house, and reaching to the foot of the hill, was consumed every
summer in these fishing vessels.
He also conducted a large farm and brought up in his family
many boys who served their time on his vessels or on the farm.
For some years he was president of the savings bank and of the
fire insurance company.

* Joseph Osgood (born 1815, died 1898) for nearly sixty years
was an important factor in shaping and influencing the lives of
the citizens of Cohasset. In the year 1839 and 1840, while a
student at the Harvard Divinity School, he taught in the little
schoolhouse on the rocks, where now stands St. Stephen's Church.
He often said in later years that on his first visjt to Cohasset, as the
stage-coach which conveyed him from the Hingham boat rose over
506 History of Cohasset.
the hill leading on to the Common, he thought, — "This is a
town where I should like to spend the rest of my days." That
exactly this thing happened shows the peculiar disposition of the
man, which enabled him to remain in a small country town for
nearly sixty years, occupying positions, the retention of which
depended upon the whims of the populace. During the early
years of his pastorate, there was no Catholic church in the town,
and the Irish and Portuguese found in him the counselor and friend
ordinarily sought for in the priest of the parish.
For forty-five years, either as member of the school-committee
or as superintendent of schools, he had a powerful influence in
shaping the policy of the public school system in Cohasset. Even
in his old age he was anxious that the Cohasset schools should have
the benefit of whatever was newest and most advanced in methods
of teaching.
When he entered on his parochial duties as minister of the First
Parish the feeling of bitterness engendered by the secession from
his church of a number of families for the formation of another
church was still strong, but long before his death that feeling had
entirely passed away; a result brought about as much by his atti-
tude as any one thing. The writer well remembers an incident
that occurred when, between the pastorates of Mr. Savage and Mr.
Biglow of the Second Church, that parish was left without a min-
ister, that he entered the vestry of the latter church on the occasion
of the annual parish supper and found Dr. Osgood seated in the
midst of the assembled company, his venerable white head and
beaming smile seeming to bestow a benediction on all. This
popularity was gained without the use of any other means than
that of a good life simply lived in the midst of his townspeople.

incumbent. As a young man he learned the trade of stair builder
and worked in the store of his father, Caleb Lothrop. For many
years he was custom house officer for the port of Cohasset and at
one time acted in that capacity as well for the ports of Hingham
and Hull. He was justice of the peace and drew deeds and mort-
gages and wills. He also acted as executor of wills and adminis-
trator of estates.
He was secretary of the Cohasset Mutual Fire Insurance Com-
pany, and after the death of Captain Martin Lincoln was president
of the Cohasset Savings Bank. He also represented Cohasset in
the State Legislature. But he will be best remembered as select-
man, assessor and overseer of the poor, and moderator of the town
meetings. There is no question but that his services to the Town
in these various capacities were notable. At the time of his
death he was a member of the board of County Commissioners of
Norfolk County. -,
He enjoyed the confidence of the summer residents and it wa
largely through his exertions that the corporation tax of the West
End Street Railway was secured for Cohasset in 1886 and until
its final distribution.
While keeping a watchful eye on the appropriations of the town
in order that the tax rate might be kept at the lowest point con-
sistent, he was always in favor of liberal appropriations for those
things which tended to advance Cohasset and make it a desirable
town to live in — good schools, good roads, etc.
As moderator he was unique, a law unto himself. His admin-
istration of the office was not according to Cushing's Manual,
but according to the Manual of J. Q. A. Lothrop, and while this
often aroused strenuous opposition, his conduct of the office was
so satisfactory to the majority of the voters that he was re-elected
year after year. He knew every voter in town and could call
him by name as he approached the ballot box.
As school committee man he also rendered efficient service to
the town.

Copper Company in Boston, and later in life carried on, in

as neatly as if possessed of good sight.)
March 12, 1827. — A committee of nine persons was chosen "for

Fourth day of July, 186 1, with appropriate ceremonies, under the
direction of a Committee of fifteen chosen by the Town.)

publications of the Town since the year 1861.
Note. — The following explanation will account for certain discrep-
ancies which probably exist in four instances between the genealogical
records prepared by Mrs. Davenport and the foregoing list of Town
Officers, namely:
In 1796 Elisha Doane was chosen Selectman in place of Jerom
Stephenson who refused to serve.
In 1804 Job Turner was chosen Treasurer in place of Zealous Bates
who was excused from serving.
In 1827 Samuel Bates was chosen Treasurer in place of Caleb Lothrop
who declined to serve.
In 1834 Levi N. Bates was chosen Treasurer in place of Caleb Lothrop
who declined to serve.
EDWARD E TOWER.
MUSICAL ASSOCIATIONS OF COHASSET.
By Burgess C. Tower.
There seems to be no record of any organized musical society
in Cohasset previous to the formation of the Atlantic Musical Asso-
ciation (except the church choirs with accompanying instruments),
and the brief and necessarily incomplete account of that organiza-
tion, as given in this article, is compiled chiefly from recollections
of surviving members and from a few short newspaper items.
The prime mover in band and orchestra organizations of this
town was Edward E. Tower. He was born in Cohasset in 1834,
and his intense interest in promoting musical affairs from the
amateur's standpoint covered a period of over forty years. His
enthusiasm continued from early boyhood to the last year of his
life.
Capt. Henry J. Hallgreen, who had lived in Cohasset for a short
time when a boy, and who later became intimate with Edward E.
Tower, when both as young men were commencing their business
careers in Boston, has kindly furnished an account of the first
bands with which they were both connected. It will be noted that
among the original members, William W. Lothrop, Benjamin Snow
Joy, and Benjamin F. Smith were also Cohasset boys. It may be
of interest to know that Captain Hallgreen at the beginning of the
Civil War was with the Massachusetts 2d Batt. Infantry, sta-
tioned at Fort Warren, and was the originator of the setting of the
words " John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave " to an
old gospel tune. This was taken up by Gilmore's Band, and
immediately became one of our best known patriotic songs. A
detailed account of this song may be found in Elson's " History of
American Music," which can be procured at the Paul Pratt Memo-
rial Library. Captain Hallgreen's story is given in full.

516 History of Cohasset.
HISTORY OF THE TREMONT SERENADE BAND.
About 1852 there lived at the old north end of Boston, three close
friends and chums, who might have been seen daily from April 'till Octo-
ber enjoying a swim at the marine railway; Geo. Beals Willcutt, who
lived with his parents in Salutation Street, Edw. E. Tower of same resi-
dence, and yours truly, Henry J. Hallgreen of Tileston Street. I began
about this time a course of lessons on the violin, with the celebrated
John Holloway, author of "Wood Up." Tower liked the idea and at
once procured a fiddle, and I brought my lessons and exercises down to
Willcutt's as fast as I received them. He progressed rapidly and con-
ceived the idea of a serenade band. We got William W. Lothrop and
Benjamin Snow Joy interested, and branched out as the Tower-Hallgreen
Serenade Band, with an idea of picnic party music as follows: Tower,
Violin primo, Hallgreen, Viola, Joy, Violin secundo, and Benj. F. Smith,
Bass Cornet. We had hardly begun when the irrepressible E. E. T.
thought a real orchestral brass band would be about the proper thing,
consequently we changed over. Edward got an Eb cornet, I took up the
Bb, Henry A. Lyford and his brother Thomas J. joined, and chose Eb
and Alto horn; Edwin Emerson and Philip Wyatt took Tenor, B. F.
Smith, 1st Bass, Wm. H. Lowery and Allen P. Boyce took up Tenor and
2nd Bass.
You must remember they were all without previous practice or knowl-
edge of their instrument. We later engaged J. D'Anguerra as Band
teacher, to teach us as a Band. We used the Lyford carpenter shop in
Barrett St. for Band room, and made great proficiency in our various
parts. Antonio D'Anguerra, son of our teacher, who was a pretty good
player, joined to play Bb cornet.
Our Band had grown, and now consisted of the following members
as the Tremont Serenade Band.
Edward E. Tower, First Eb, Leader.
Henry A. Lyford, Second Eb.
Henry J. Hallgreen, First Bb.
Antonio D'Anguerra, Bb.
Thomas J. Lyford, Alto horn.
J. Thos. Baldwin, Alto horn.
Philip Wyatt, Tenor.
Wm. H. Lowery, Tenor.
Edwin Emerson, Trombone.
Benj. F. Smith, First Bass.
Allen P. Boyce, Second Bass.
Marshall P. Wild, Bass Drum.
Musical Associations of Cohasset. 517
We serenaded friends in Boston, notably Alderman Edward A. White,
who married John Simmons' daughter, and became manager of the
immense Simmons estate. We visited Cohasset about as fast as we
learned a new piece. Later we were given a room in the Cooper Street
Armory, where we became acquainted with the American Artillery,
Cowdin Artillery, and other companies in the Armory. We played for
them on their parades, which came pretty often in those days: on one
occasion the American Artillery went to Stoneham, we were caught in a
furious rain storm and all hands deserted to the nearest barn. Our last
band room was on Atkinson St. (now Congress St.). On our parades
we hired Sam'l C. Perkins, a band leader and composer, to assist on the
leading El? cornet, and occasionally Geo. B. Morse on the Bi>; he be-
longed to the Chelsea Brass Band. We were broken up at last by hav-
ing too many engagements, three for one day, of which we accepted the
Christ Church picnic, after which we split up. Tower, myself, Lyford
and Smith decided to stick to business, as we had reached the serenade
limit. D'Anguerra, Baldwin, Boyce and Lowery joined other bands
and continued in music for years. Thus ended the old band from which
we had all derived much comfort and many happy days.
Henry J. Hallgreen.
After the Civil War had ended, there was great demand for
patriotic music, and local military bands were formed in many
towns. In Cohasset a few of the young men decided to take up,
for recreation, study on various brass instruments, and Mr. Tower
was invited to instruct them. Other members were added and a
permanent organization effected, the name Atlantic Musical Asso-
ciation having been adopted. A set of band instruments was
•purchased, and loaned to the members, many of whom later bought
their own instruments.
In 1867 a Constitution and set of By-laws were printed, to which
was added the list of officers and members, stating the instrument
each played. This list, together with the Preamble of the Consti-
tution may be of sufficient interest to be quoted.
PREAMBLE.
We hereby propose to form a Musical Association having for its object
recreation and instruction, and knowing that such an Association, unless
governed by proper rules and regulations must fail to accomplish its
purpose, hereby agree to conform to the following Articles as fixed and
permanent rules for the government of the same.

As proficiency was acquired, numerous requests for the services
of the band at various entertainments and gatherings were made,
and a search through the files of the Hingham Journal gives us
brief particulars of a few of these occasions.
Music was furnished at installation of officers of Konohasset
Lodge A. F. & A. M., on July 4, 1866. In the following September
a serenade was given to Major William B. Johnson. In connection
with this last statement it may be well to add that serenading seems
to have been a decidedly popular part of the band's duties at that
time. Newly married couples were usually the recipients of this
compliment from the Association. Among those so favored were
Messrs. John Bates, Jan. 30, 1870, A. A. Lawrence, Oliver A.
Brown.
Musical Associations of C okas set. 519
In March, 1868, a concert by the Association was given at Hing-
ham, under the auspices of the Agricultural Society. Miss Mary
Percival (Mrs. Loriman S. Brigham) and a quartet, consisting of
Mr. and Mrs. Louis N. Lincoln, Mrs. Helen Tower, and Mr. Caleb
F. Nichols, assisted. According to the newspaper account of this
affair, gratifying skill was shown in the rendering of the several
selections.
On May 3 the band played at the first anniversary of the organ-
ization of Minot's Light Lodge of Good Templars, and in the fol-
lowing July played at a strawberry festival in Hingham.
One year later, in July, 1869, an outdoor concert was given at
Fountain Square, Hingham, by the Atlantic Musical Association
and Hingham Brass Band consolidated, and after the concert a
collation was served by the Hingham musicians. At midnight
several prominent Hingham residents were serenaded by the
Cohasset Band.
On May 7, 1870, the' Centennial Anniversary of Cohasset was
celebrated, and our band took a prominent part in the programme,
beginning with a concert at 7 a.m., on the Common, furnishing the
music for the procession which was formed at the depot on arrival
of Governor Claflin, with state officials and other distinguished
guests.
At about this time a small orchestra was organized of band mem-
bers, which gave dances and promenade concerts, to raise money
for new instruments and music.
Caleb Lothrop entertained the band on the occasion of his
twenty-first birthday, and a pleasant evening was spent with music
and refreshments. From this time until 1877 little data appear
to be on record concerning the Association. Probably during these
years chorus singing proved a greater attraction, as will be seen
below. In 1877 the Atlantic Musical Association was reorganized,
Edward E. Tower again made its Director, and on Thanksgiving
Evening a successful promenade concert was given at the Town
Hall by the band, assisted by vocal talent.
It was in the early eighties that the band furnished music for
the Scituate Grand Army Post, Decoration Day, on two or three
occasions. In later years, as will be seen, it formed the nucleus
of the Cohasset Musical Association.
520 History of Cohasset.
COHASSET CHORAL UNION.
It has been impossible to ascertain the date of organization of
this society, but the files of the Hingham Journal have again been
of great assistance in determining the facts given below.
The Cantata " Belshazzar's Feast" was performed April 2, 1874,
with the following impersonation:
Belshazzar (King of Babylon) Mr. Philander Bates.
Daniel Mr. Louis N. Lincoln.
Hananiah Rev. M. A. Stevens.
High Priest Mr. Caleb F. Nichols.
Nitocris (The Queen) Miss Jennie B. Tower.
I Mrs. Louis N. Lincoln.
Mrs. Henry C. Tower.
Miss Elizabeth C. Bates.
The Reading Rev. Joseph Osgood.
Two weeks later, April 16, 1874, this cantata was repeated at
Duxbury, and we quote from the correspondent of the Hingham
Journal.
North Scituate, April 20.
"On Thursday evening, 16th inst., by previous announcement, the
Cohasset Choral Union, conducted by Edward E. Tower, Esq., ren-
dered the cantata of ' Belshazzar's Feast ' at Duxbury. Owing to the
indisposition of a member in one of the leading parts, the services of Mr.
A. M. Bell of Boston were secured. By politeness of a friend your cor-
respondent was invited to take the special train for the occasion, which
was accepted, and which we improved by a trip to the old historic town.
On arriving at Duxbury we found coaches in readiness to transport the
one hundred and fifty sojourners to the Congregational Church, one mile
distant. The church at an early hour gave signs of a good audience, and
at eight o'clock precisely, the conductor's baton announced a grand over-
ture by the orchestral performers, which was followed by a chorus of
forty voices. It is useless to attempt to criticise a company of well-
trained performers, therefore, we would merely re-echo the public senti-
ment, which manifested itself in the repeated encores, if it were not

lander Bates and Caleb F. Nichols; tenors, A. M. Bell and Louis N.
Lincoln; sopranos, Mrs. Henry C. Tower, Misses Lizzie C. Bates and

Jennie B. Tower; altos, Mrs. Louis N. Lincoln and Miss Frances
Nichols, who fairly excelled all former efforts; and credit was also due
Mr. Bell, for his admirable effort, having had the advantage of but one
rehearsal in one of the most difficult parts."
On December 21, 1874, the Union gave the cantata at the Town
Hall, Cohasset, entitled "The Pilgrim Fathers."
On January 26, 1877, it was announced that the society had reor-
ganized under direction of Professor L. A. Torrens of Boston, and
that it was hoped to give a concert in the early spring.
One and possibly more concerts were given under Mr. Torrens'
direction, but I have been unable to find out more concerning
them.
On March 17, 1879, "The Haymakers," a cantata by Root, was
given by the Choral Union, and the performance was repeated two
nights later. Delegations from Hingham, Weymouth, and Scituate
were present. Among those who took prominent parts were
Philander Bates as the Farmer, William R. Collier as William,
Caleb Lothrop as John, Frank McClure as Snipkins, Miss Drusilla
S. Percival as Mary, Miss Elizabeth C. Bates as Anna, and Miss
Sarah Nichols (Mrs. E. Herbert Towle) as the Dairy Maid.
An Old Folks' Concert was given in 1879, and it was announced
that " Ye Choral Union will be assisted by Miss Ella J. Spoor, who
will sing and by Mr. Waldo F. Bates, who will blow a very worldlie
tune on ye cornet." Also that "Goodman Collier, down from
Boston, will sing a nautical song called Jack's Farewell," that
" Nabor Edward Tower will play a tune on ye flute and his darter
will accompany him on ye new fangled Spinnet called ye Pianny,"
and that "A Collection of young menne and maidens will play a
sprightly tune called Ye Kinder Symphony, on divers instruments."
In February, 1880, the Cohasset Choral Union gave on two suc-
cessive evenings the cantata " Esther, the Beautiful Queen," to a
large audience. Appropriate scenery and costumes were used, and
an enthusiastic review of this performance was given in the Hing-
ham Journal. Caleb Lothrop took the part of the King and Miss
Drusilla Percival that of Queen Esther. William R. Collier was
Mordecai, and E. P. Collier, Haman. Newcomb B. Tower was
the musical director.
522 History of Cohas set.
In December, 1880, rehearsals were begun for another
performance of the "Haymakers," and for the rendering of
" Ruth," a cantata by Broad. Miss Elizabeth C. Bates took
the part of Ruth.
An entertainment was given at about this time in aid of the
society, at which Messrs. G. H. Wilson, B. S. Knapp, and
E. E. Cutler gave the operetta of "Cox and Box," composed by
Sullivan.
On February 24, 1881, another performance of the "Haymakers"
took place under the direction of Newcomb B. Tower, with the
following cast :
Mary Miss Drusilla S. Percival.
Anna Miss Elizabeth C. Bates.
The Dairymaid Miss Minnie Snow.
William William R. Collier.
The Farmer Philander Bates.
Snipkins Edmund P. Collier.
John Caleb Lothrop.
This was given in costume, and elaborate stage "property,"
including thunder, lightning, and rain devices added much to the
enjoyment of the audience.
COHASSET MUSICAL ASSOCIATION.
In 1883 Edward E. Tower undertook the still larger enterprise of
organizing an orchestra in which the young ladies of the town
could take part. This became known as the Cohasset Musical
Association, and after many rehearsals at Atlantic Hall, over the
Tower Dairy, a concert was given, September 20,1883, in the Town
Hall, thirty-four performers participating, playing the various
string, wind, and percussion instruments which make up an orches-
tra. Of these nearly one half were ladies, a unique feature in
orchestras at that time. After this a more permanent organization
was effected, and at a business meeting held at Atlantic Hall, Sep-
tember 30th, Edw. E. Tower was made chairman, and the name
officially selected as above stated.
Musical Associations of Cohasset. 523
It was voted to choose a board of officers, consisting of three
directors, a treasurer, a clerk, and a librarian. Elmer F. Olmsted
was chosen clerk, Henry P. Furber treasurer, and Geo. W. Collier
librarian. It was voted also that the board of directors consist of
three members, in connection with the other officers. Edw. E.
Tower, Daniel N. Tower, and Caleb Lothrop were chosen directors,
who were authorized to conduct the business of the association as
they should deem proper.
Many of the townspeople and summer residents cooperated
with the active members most heartily, and became associate mem-
bers, paying annual dues of three dollars, thereby being entitled to
a free admission to all concerts or rehearsals. Both active and
associate members had a limited number of complimentary tickets
for their friends. All money received for membership fees was
used for the purchase of music, instruments, and for instruction if
so desired.
Mr. James O. Freeman of Boston was engaged for instruction on
the violin, viola, and violoncello, and classes were immediately
formed. Mr. Tower not only directed the full rehearsals, but
held extra rehearsals for the brass instrument performers,
many of whom had previously belonged to the Atlantic Musical
Association.
Miss Edith J. Tower (Mrs. Chas. W. Gammons) a little
later succeeded Mr. Freeman as instructor on the violin and
viola.
On February 28, 1884, the orchestra was engaged to furnish one
of the entertainments given by the People's Course of Entertain-
ments, and gratuitously gave its services.
Under date of March 29, 1884, the Cohasset Cottager invited Mr.
Tower to make a statement regarding the Association, and it may
be interesting to read his exact words, as characteristic of the man.
" We are doing very well considering the short time since our organ-
ization, about ten months, far better than I could have expected.
'What,' musicians say to me, 'eight young ladies in a small town
like Cohasset playing the 'cello and all of them taking lessons of a
competent teacher? We could hardly find as many in our large
cities who would be willing to undertake it, much less to devote time
and money to it; but one thing is sure, they will find it a most fas-
524 History of Cohasset.
cinating instrument, and once interested in it, they will never give
it up ; with violins it is now acknowledged to be the instrument of
the future for ladies, and we do not wonder that you have so many
applicants for it.' Our success so far has in a great measure been
owing to the fact that in the choice of members our directors have
selected only those who have more than an average knowledge of
music. Of our twelve young ladies who have taken up the violin
and viola, there is not one but is a creditable performer on the piano,
while many of them have made music a study for the past ten years,
and are or have been pupils of Petersilea, Sherwood, Lang, Mrs.
Page, and others of equal note in Boston. Among the male mem-
bers are three young gentlemen from Hingham who have been of
the greatest assistance, while the old Atlantic Musical Association
builded better than it knew when it furnished us so much material
for our orchestra. We now number about fifty active members,
nearly one half of whom are ladies. New additions now proposed
will give us four double basses, one tuba, and one oboe. We shall
then have every instrument usually found in a full orchestra.
" As to new members, this is our trouble; we want them and many
young people are hard at work; but a musical education is not
acquired in a few months; it is a work of years, and although imper-
fect, its adaptation to an instrument renders success more than half
achieved, and with a taste and love for music it is not so difficult to
fit one's self for active membership.
"I now propose to form a sort of primary class and as soon as
the members of said class become sufficiently advanced, their
names will be submitted to the board of directors for approval, and
if accepted, will at once be assigned their work in the orchestra.
I am promised the hearty cooperation of the regular members, who
will assist this class, and I think it will prove of mutual advantage to
both. Our class rehearsals will take place Wednesday evenings."
The quotation as above certainly shows the time, energy, and
enthusiasm which Mr. Tower devoted to this work.
In order to participate in the Memorial Day Exercises of 1884,
a brass band was organized, consisting of Cohasset Musical Asso-
ciation members. Twenty-six men played for the Grand Army
Post on this occasion, both for the marching and at the collation in
the Town Hall. The Cottager remarked that the Band surprised
Musical Associations of Cohasset. 525
the natives by their excellent music, but needed considerable prac-
tice in marching.
The summer concert given by the orchestra in the July following
proved most successful, and music still more difficult was executed.
This concert was hardly over when Mr. Tower was again at work
with the band, and an open air concert on the Common was the
outcome. After this concert Dr. Newcomb L. Damon and Mr.
Edwin F. Souther were serenaded. The band then proceeded to
do the same at Mr. Louis N. Lincoln's and not until after midnight
were the members dispersed.
In the next month was held the fair given by Henry Bryant Post
98 G. A. R., and on the first night the Association Band struck up
a lively march as the Post, with their guests, entered the hall. The
programme of the second night's entertainment of this fair con-
sisted entirely of musical selections by the band.
The fall concert showed still further advance in proficiency, and
an increased membership of fifty-two, including six double bass
players. The list of members given in the Cottager of October 11,
1884, may be of interest, showing that the membership was then
increased to sixty-five.

In an address to the members published in the Cottager, Mr.
Tower stated in vigorous language the necessity for prompt attend-
ance at rehearsals, and gave an itemized statement of the amounts
paid out for the needs of the Association during the first year of its
existence. The total amount was $2445.00, including $1300.00 for
stringed instruments alone.
No assessment of any kind was ever required from active mem-
bers, their only expense having been a small rental for the use of an

instrument, with the privilege of later purchasing said instrument
if so desired.
In the Presidential campaign of 1884 the band of the Associa-
tion showed its non-partisanship by playing for both Republican
and Democratic rallies.
On January 23, 1885, the Association, fifty-eight strong, gave
a concert at Loring Hall, Hingham, for the benefit of the
fund for a church parlor for the First Church of Hingham.
One week later the services of our musicians were again sought
after by the People's Course of Entertainments, and a pleasing
programme was rendered.
For two years more the Association continued to give orchestral
concerts, in each of which approximately eighty performers took
part, the nearby towns and Boston furnishing representatives.
The assistance of professional musicians was requested, in order
to strengthen the weak places, and former members will
recall many of their names, such as Joseph Fennelly, at one
time with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Wulf Fries, the
well known 'cellist, Carl Trautman, one .of the older gen-
eration of German musicians; De Ribas, the oboist, and
Eltz, the bassoonist. Mrs. Nichols, now the director of the
Fadette Orchestra, played with the first violins, and was a soloist
at one of the concerts. Gerard Russo, the harpist, at one time
assisted. Arthur Foote, pianist and composer, was one of the
soloists at the third annual autumn concert, and one of his own
compositions for 'cello, "The Romance," was played by Wulf
Fries, to the accompaniment of the composer. Miss Gertrude
Edmands was soloist at one concert.
The character of the selections was greatly in advance of those
of the earlier concerts, the Association on one occasion rendering
Haydn's "Symphony in D Major."
To the best of our knowledge the last orchestral concert given by
the full orchestra took place September 27, 1887. Mr. Tower, how-
ever, was not satisfied with a purely orchestral organization. A
chorus had to be added, and the following circular, sent out to
choir members of Cohasset and neighboring towns, is self-
explanatory:
528 History of Cohasset.
Cohasset, December 1, 1887.
You are hereby invited to take part in the next rehearsal of the Cohasset
Musical Association. With the assistance already offered it is hoped to
form a chorus of from one to two hundred voices, and that members of
any choir or past musical organization will take a prominent part. The
first preparatory rehearsal will take place at Atlantic Hall, Monday even-
ing, December 5, 1887. You are cordially invited to be present.
Per order Board of Directors,
C. Nichols, Clerk.
Mr. Tower had become very much interested in choral society
work, having been elected, in 1885, the first director of the newly
organized Hingham Choral Society.
"The Holy City," an oratorio composed by Alfred R. Gaul, was
given at the Town Hall, Cohasset, June 17th, 1888. The program
states that members of the Hingham Choral Society and choirs of
East Weymouth, Wollaston, and Scituate assisted the local singers .
The following soloists took part:
First Soprano Miss Jessie E. Ollivier.
Second Soprano Miss Meriam L. Slade.
First Alto Miss Georgie Nixon.
Second Alto Miss Pauline Hammond.

The oratorio " Emmanuel," composed by J. Elliot Trowbridge,
was next given, June 30, 1889, and as this was the most ambitious
undertaking in the history of the Association, a portion of the pro-
gramme is given below, showing the scale on which it was con-
ducted.

The vocal department of the association will be augmented by
members of the Hingham, East Weymouth, and Wollaston Musical
Societies, making a grand chorus of over 150 voices, with the Full
Association Orchestra, numbering 75 members, and a boy choir of
25 voices.
Rehearsals were later begun of another oratorio, "The Ten
Virgins," by Gaul, but the project was abandoned.
But few more years were to be allotted to Edw. E. Tower's life,
and during this time nothing more was done in large orchestra or
chorus work. His enthusiasm for music continued unabated, and
we find him directing a band, organized for the occasion, which
took part in the exercises on Columbus Day in 1892. This band
was composed principally of former Atlantic Musical Association
members, and members of the Beechwood Band. This latter
organization had done excellent work, and had given many con-
certs in Beechwood and elsewhere.
A boys' band was next organized, with Mr. Tower, as usual,
directing, and again followed a succession of performances at enter-
530 History oj Cohasset.
tainments, lawn parties, and open air concerts. A small orchestra
was added, and at a concert given June 20, 1894, the band and
orchestra alternately played selections. Miss Bessie Bell Collier
played in the orchestra and rendered a violin solo.
Forty years of musical service of Edward E. Tower were thus
completed. This performance was the last in which he partici-
pated, his death occurring in April, 1896. He thoroughly enjoyed
every minute of this activity, but in his band work particularly the
idea of service to the community undoubtedly promoted his interest
in the musical welfare of the town. Mr. Edmund P. Collier so
well expressed this idea in an obituary written for the Boston
Transcript, at the time of Mr. Tower's death, that the liberty is
taken of giving two quotations from that notice.
" His idea was that the best way to keep a boy out of the street
and away from the bar room was to teach him the use of some
musical instrument, and thus put him in possession of a means
of enjoyment which would refine and elevate rather than
debase."
"All this work was done in time snatched from a very active
business life, and was given to the citizens of the town gratuitously,
with no reward asked for or expected, more than the conscious-
ness of having added to their entertainment and musical
culture."
The limited scope of this article does not permit me to narrate
in detail regarding the bands and orchestras that have been organ-
ized in recent years. Much could be told of the Beechwood Band
mentioned above, the Cohasset Guild Band, directed by Waldo F.
Bates of North Scituate, in which Rev. Milo H. Gates took such
an active interest, and of the " South Shore Band " which George
P. Tower has conducted, the last named having very recently
participated in the Taft-Bryan political campaign of 1908.
Since about 1890 Elmer F. Olmstead has directed an or-
chestra of from twelve to fifteen members, nearly all of whom
belonged to the Cohasset Musical Association, and much enjoy-
ment has been derived by these members at their rehearsals and
participation in church entertainments and oth er social assemblies.
At Union Vesper services given in the winter of 1907-08 by the
First and Second Congregational Churches of Cohasset, this

orchestra assisted the choirs in musical programmes made up of
compositions by classical composers.
In attempting to give a record of these musical societies, doubt-
less many events of importance have unintentionally been omitted.
What has been told, however, may bring pleasant recollections to
the minds of many who took part in the performances of the seven-
ties and eighties. Possibly those of the younger generation may be
surprised at the musical activity shown at that time.
The influence of those earlier societies is still felt and many a
member of the present day bands, choirs, and orchestras can trace
the origin of his interest in music to the days of the Atlantic Musical
Association, Cohasset Choral Union, or Cohasset Musical Associa-
tion.
COHASSET'S DEEP SEA CAPTAINS.
By Edmund Pomeroy Collier.
In the year 1800, or thereabouts, young Southward Pratt left
his father's house in Cohasset on a morning in summer for the
prosaic purpose of driving the cows to pasture, a task he had per-
formed since he had been able to trudge at their heels and put up
and take down the bars of the fence which confined them in their
pasture.
It had been his custom also to go for the cows at night and bring
them home, but on that particular night the cows stood at the bars
lowing in vain to be let out and taken home to the barn to be
milked. But their young driver did not make his appearance that
evening nor for many a day after, for young Southward Pratt had
responded to the call of the sea, which called to him as he stood
at the pasture bars, and had " run away to sea."
Three years afterward young Mercy Gannett, who had come
from Scituate to live out at the Pratts, in those days when the
hired girl was an equal of the members of the family for whom
she worked, started one summer afternoon to get the cows and
bring them home. But as she approached the pasture she found
the bars being taken down by a young man, whose cheeks, burned
by the sun and wind of foreign climes, showed that his calling
was that of a sailor, who informed her that he would drive the
cows home. Mercy hastened home with the report that a strange
young man had taken away the cows from her.
It was young Southward Pratt, who, returning from three years
voyaging over foreign seas, had resumed the task, dropped so
abruptly by him, of driving the cows. This true story ended as
it naturally should by Southward and Mercy in time becoming
man and wife, and is only introduced here as the opening of this
chapter on deep sea captains as an illustration of the irresistible
call of the sea for the boys of Cohasset.
That the inhabitants of Cohasset should have been a sea-
faring race was as inevitable as that the city of Tyre on the

coast of Phoenicia should have furnished a nation of sailors
and merchants.
In Cohasset's early days there was every inducement toward
shipbuilding and seafaring. The virgin forests stood ready to
supply the oak and pine necessary for the construction of the
vessel. Young men, eager to take up the adventurous life of the
sailor, awaited the completion of the craft, each one confident
that a few years of experience and hard work would find him in
command of a ship of his own.
In the days of small craft, before the huge steel leviathans were
even imagined, before the railways had compelled the distribution
of cargoes from a few ports, when the little town of Salem rivaled
Boston as a port through which trade with India was carried on,
it was not unusual for a seacoast town of the size of Cohasset to
send forth square-rigged, deep sea vessels, built and manned
from captain to cabin boy by her own sons. The constitution
of the State, recognizing this fact, permitted the study of navi-
gation in its High Schools.
What a change has the passing of the years wrought in the life
of Cohasset in this respect! Where two or three shipyards turned
out annually vessels furnishing occupation for her ship carpenters,
sailors and fishermen; where wharves, extending at intervals from
the head of the cove to Hominy Point on one side of the harbor
and to the Gulf Stream on the other, served as berths for a crowd
of merchantmen, fishermen, and packets, now the echo of the
mallet and adze has long since died away, and the vessels of
various descriptions which formerly filled the harbor have
departed never to return.
In their place we see a fleet of pleasure craft and power dories,
and Cohasset, once a town furnishing employment to its inhabi-
tants within its borders, serves now as a bedroom for men and
women earning their living in Boston.
Twenty-five years ago, sea captains, men who had sailed their
ships and carried the flag of their country to every part of the
globe, were a common sight on our streets. To-day Cohasset
cannot boast of a man living within its borders who has ever
commanded a square-rigged vessel, and but few sailors who have
been in foreign ports. This change, while it is, perhaps, to be
534 History of Cohasset.
regretted, is one which has been brought about by the new con-
ditions under which business of every kind is transacted to-day.
Since the seafaring vocation of Cohasset and the men who
followed it are no more, it behooves us to make a matter of
record of the men and the vessels hailing from Cohasset in those
good old days. But, alas, we have taken up this task too late. Of
the very early masters there is barely more than the record of
their names. In some cases the families to which they belonged
have died out, or have departed from the town, and it is not
strange that no record is left behind of their vessels and voyages,
for in but a few instances can be obtained complete records of
the voyages of captains whose children are living to-day. If,
therefore, this chapter fails to give as full a record of each cap-
tain as might be desired, it is only because such records are not
obtainable.
Not a few square-rigged vessels were built at Cohasset and
hailed from it, but the schooner then, as to-day, was the popular
craft. Most of the schooners were built primarily for fishing,
but in the winter, instead of letting this property lie idle, it was
the custom to intrust it to the care of some bright young Cohasset
skipper for the purpose of trading in the Gulf of- Mexico. A
cargo would be obtained in Boston for some port in the Southern
States, Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, New Orleans, or Galveston,
and between these ports and the ports of the West Indies trading
voyages were made until it was time for the schooner to return to
Cohasset to fit out for the fishing season.
As a rule the captain of the vessel was given some interest in
the profits of the winter's work, as was right and proper, for the
success of the winter's trading depended largely on his keenness,
prudence, and devotion to his employer's interests. Contact with
the merchants and shipowners of Boston soon brought about an
opportunity to serve as mate in some larger vessel bound for
ports in Europe, and so, step by step, the lad who started at the
lowest round of the ladder as boy in a fishing schooner, in time
attained the topmost round, and walked the quarter-deck of a
Yankee clipper ship, the acme at that time of naval construction.
Nothing shows the difference between the old and the new
more than the early age at which boys began to follow the sea.
Cohas set's Deep Sea Captains. 535
Frank Pratt went to sea at eight, James Collier at nine, and John
P. T. Percival at eleven; and these instances might be multi-
plied indefinitely. It followed naturally that captains under
twenty-one were not uncommon. The call of the sea for the
young men of Cohasset seemed irresistible in those days, and the
dangers attending the life of the sailor served rather to increase
than to diminish its attractiveness.
Frank Pratt, son of Dr. Ezekiel Pratt and father of Dr. Gustavus
Pratt, gives the following incident in an account which he left of
his seafaring life. "We were in the Gulf Stream in a North east
gale with a heavy cross sea running. Soon the flying jib boom
and all was carried away by the sea. We were 'hove to' at
the time under close reefed fore-sail. Next the halyards parted,
went out the scuppers and caught in the rudder. That left us
under bare poles. It was then I saw the captain do a brave and
dangerous piece of seamanship, such as I have never seen done
since, in sixteen years of sea life. The jib must be saved if pos-
sible. No one dared to go on the bow-sprit but the captain. I
stood in the companion-way and saw him go out on the end of
the bow-sprit, stand up, holding on to the jib-stay with both
hands, knife in his mouth, go under three times, all out of sight,
hold on and cut the sail from the hanks."
Such incidents as these served as themes for many a winter's
tale around Cohasset firesides fifty to seventy-five years ago.
Many of these sea captains attained to a competency from the
very fact that the deep sea vessels of those days were so small,
and it was possible for them to own a respectable interest in them
and share profits of the voyages.
As has been said, of the earliest sea captains very little has
come down to us but the record of their births and deaths. In
the houses of their descendants hang their portraits, painted,
usually in Antwerp, and perhaps the picture of one of the square-
riggers commanded by them.
Among these captains may be mentioned Aaron Pratt, born in
1760, and died in 1843. From the register of the Boston Custom

were registered at the Boston Custom House, we may safely put
him down, as well as the others whose names follow, as deep sea
sailors.
John Jacob Lothrop was born in 1763, and died in 1823. No
doubt his name would have been found as captain of some vessel
registered at the Boston Custom House were it not for the fact
that the books of registration covering the period from 1789 to
1806 are at Washington, for use in the French Spoliation claims,
which have been dragging along now for over a century. Cap-
tain Lothrop's portrait, painted in Antwerp, hangs in the house of
his grand daughter, Mrs. Richard Sankey. In 1789 he is spoken of
as master of the schooner Priscilla, in 1794 of the schooner Betsey,
in 1795 of the sloop Clara, in 1798 of the schooner Bethiah.
In the year 1807 there came to Cohasset, from Truro, on the
Cape, two brothers, Ephraim Snow, born in 1777, and Henry
Snow, born in 1781. They purchased the house now occupied
by Dr. William Bryant, on Black Horse Lane, now called, in
remembrance of them, Snow Place.
The elder of these brothers is known to have been a deep sea
captain, and is said to have crossed the Atlantic fifty times. In
1807 the registry of the Boston Custom House has him as master
of the schooner Ruth, a Cohasset vessel of 115 tons, owned and
built in 1805 by Levi Tower. In 1810, still in command of the
schooner Ruth, an attempt is made by the press gang in Liverpool
to take from him some members of his crew, and in 181 5 we
find this same vessel registered with E. Snow still as captain, but
with her rig changed to that of a brig. The supposition is that
from 1807 up to and including 1815, and probably beyond that
time, Captain Snow was master of the Ruth, and made in her
foreign voyages.
Two other vessels which he commanded, and in which he
made voyages to Liverpool, were the ships Mt. Vernon and
Warren. On one of his voyages he brought from Spain the boy
Salvador Sabate y Morell, of Willaseca, Tarragona, born 1790,
and naturalized April 9, 1816, as Samuel Snow. This young
Spaniard evidently took naturally to the water, for we find him in
1816, the year of his naturalization, captain of the new fishing
schooner Independence. Later we find Samuel Snow registered
CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 537
as captain of the schooner Good Intent, the schooner Six Brothers,
of the brig Mayflower, December 8, 1823, and of the schooner
Joseph, November 3, 1824. He was lost at sea October 3, 1825.
Captain Ephraim Snow was the father of a second Captain
Ephraim Snow, and father-in-law of Captain J. P. T. Percival.
Captain Henry Snow, brother of Ephraim Snow, we can learn
but little about, and that only from the record department of the
Boston Custom House. There he is recorded as captain of the
following Cohasset vessels registered for foreign voyages, schooner
Speedwell, 181 1; schooner Three Sisters, 1816; schooner Frank-
lin, 1820; brig Rebecca, 1820; schooner Almira, 1821; brig Ann,
1822 and 1824. He was father of Captain Henry Snow and
father-in-law of Captain Nichols Pratt.
Peter Pratt, son of Captain Aaron mentioned above, is said to
have been very severe in his treatment of his men, and to obtain
a crew was obliged to resort to the subterfuge of remaining below
until his ship was at sea and then appearing on the quarter-deck,
to the consternation of his sailors. . In 18 15 he was captain of the
New Orleans Packet, in 1829 of the ship Hellespont, in 1833 of
the ship Propontis, and in 1834 of the ship Conohasset. In 1834
and 1835 he paid hospital money at the port of Cohasset as captain
of the Schooner Ellen.
Captain Ezekiel Wallis (or Wallace) lived in the house at the
southerly end of South Main Street, near the Scituate line, now
partially burnt, and known for some years as the " Highland
House." He was born in 1784 and died in 1859. In the first
volume of this history he is spoken of as captain of the schooner
Nancy, in the year 1814, which was captured by the English and
taken to Halifax. In 181 4 he was captain of the brig George.
James Collier, born at North Scituate in 1775, died there in
1850. He married Sally Lincoln of Cohasset, a daughter of
Allan Lincoln, who was captured on board his vessel by the
English during the Revolution and died in an English prison.
Her mother was Persis Tower, who, after her husband's death, is
538 History of Cohasset.
said to have sailed a schooner to Gloucester, to obtain supplies for
the inhabitants of Cohasset cut off by the English blockade.
After the Revolution she married Captain James Hall, one of
Washington's staff officers, and thus became the ancestress of two
lines of sailors.
In the year 1803 he was owner and captain of the Light Horse.
At the age of 31, in the year 1806, he was captain of the ship
William Tell of Scituate, a vessel of 258 tons. Possibly on this
voyage he visited Antwerp, for his picture, painted in that city
at about that time, is still in the possession of his grand-chil-
dren. Later he bought the wharf in Cohasset formerly owned by
Luther Stephenson and others, and became a vessel owner, as well
as master, for in 1814 the schooner Little Sarah is registered at
the Boston Custom House with James Collier as builder, owner
and master. In 182 1 he is again registered as her captain, and
in 1824 of the Young James. All these, as well as the Elizabeth,
built in 1829, were named for his children.
Although his living came from the sea, he wished that his sons
might not be obliged to follow it, and gave four of them trades,
which they promptly put one side and proceeded to enroll them-
selves in the ranks of Cohasset's sailors.
Captain Levi Pratt was born in 1798 and died in 1869. He is
recorded in the Boston Custom House as captain of the following
vessels: ship Fama, 1825; schooner Bashaw, 1829; schooner
High Flyer, 1832; the ship Concordia, 185 1; the ship Chaos,
771 tons, 1840; ship Amazon, 1855. Two other ships which he
commanded were the Robert and the Triton, or Trenton.
Captain Daniel T. Lothrop was born in 1796, and died in
1 87 1. His first command of which we have any record is the
Cohasset-built schooner Three Sisters in 1820, owned in part by
his father. He then entered the employ of the Grays, of New-
buryport and Boston, for whom he sailed the brig Cornelia in 1823,
the brig Charlotte, 274 tons, in 1826 and 1830, the ship Streglitz in
1835, and the ship Oriosto, 361 tons, in 1839.
In the later years of his life, after his retirement from the sea,
he acted as Underwriter's Agent, and was until his death one of
the solid, public-spirited citizens of the town.

Captain Thomas Stoddard, born in Cohasset in 1787, died in
1854. In the later years of his life he was always referred to
as Lieutenant Stoddard, a title gained in the revenue service.
He is recorded as captain of the schooner Juno in the years 181 1
and 1820.
Captain George Hall was the son of Persis (Tower) Lincoln
and Captain James Hall, and was born in Cohasset in 1790, in
the house on the Plain, now owned by Mrs. Nina E. Lincoln. In
his younger days he made voyages to the Mediterranean. On
one of these voyages his vessel was captured by pirates, who
signified their intention of stripping the vessel and setting it
adrift. It seemed as if the captain and crew were about to face
death by starvation in midwinter. Most opportunely it was
discovered that Captain Hall and the captain of the pirate crew
were masons. Immediately the aspect of affairs was changed,
and Captain Hall was allowed to go on his way rejoicing, bring-
ing his vessel safely into port.
In 181 5 he was awarded a gold medal by the Massachusetts
Humane Society for his bravery in assisting in the rescue of two
sailors shipwrecked off Cohasset rocks. In 1818 he commanded
the schooner Little Sarah, and in 182 1 the schooner Morgiana.
In 1828 he abandoned foreign voyages, and for many years
sailed a packet between Cohasset and Boston.
He afterwards engaged in the fishing business with his brother,
Abraham, having a wharf and store at Hominy Point, near where
now stands the Cohasset Yacht Club House. He married
Cynthia Collier of Scituate (whose brother, Captain James
Collier had married his half-sister, Sallie Lincoln), and built the
house on Highland Avenue, still known as the old George Hall
house, where he reared a family of sixteen children. Some of
his sons are well remembered to-day as sailors and shipbuilders.
To him descended from his father, the Revolutionary officer, his
membership in the order of the Cincinnati. He died at Cohasset
in 1854.
Captain Samuel Hall, the youngest son of Captain James
Hall, is on record at the Boston Custom House as captain and
part owner of the schooner Charlotte, from 1830 to 1834 engaged
in foreign commerce.
540 History of Cohasset.
Captain Philip Fox. The most picturesque figure on the list of
Cohasset's deep sea captains is Captain Philip Fox. He was born
in Lincolnshire, England, in 1795, and married April 9, 18 15, Anna,
the daughter of Joel Willcutt, of Cohasset. How this young
sailor from England came to Cohasset and married a Cohasset
girl, we know not, nor whether at that time he was a sailor before
the mast or a mate, but probably the latter.
His father-in-law, Joel Willcutt, kept a diary in which were
recorded happenings worthy of note in his family, and in the town.
From this diary we learn that Fox sailed from Boston May 11,
1818, in the ship Milo bound for Charleston, S. C. From the
Custom House Register at Boston we learn that the ship Milo was
owned by David Hinckley and commanded by Captain Bronson.
Without doubt Philip Fox was her first mate.
The next year Captain Bronson and Philip Fox were transferred
to the ship Herald. The Herald was a new vessel of 302 tons,
built in 1818 at Newbury, and owned by David Hinckley, Samuel
Appleton and David P. Parker. On the outward voyage Captain
Bronson was lost overboard and Philip Fox assumed command.
His first voyage as captain was made in 36 days, arriving in Boston
from Liverpool April 4, 1819.
On his second voyage the time was 45 days from Liverpool to
Boston, where he arrived August 16. The new ship Herald in
these two voyages had not shown any evidence of the speed which
was in her, nor had her captain established the reputation, which
was soon to be his, as a driver.
On the next voyage from Liverpool to Boston the Herald arrived
December 23, bringing London papers dated the 4th and Liver-
pool papers dated the 6th. The Boston Gazette under the marine
head announced the passage "seventeen days from Liverpool,
fourteen to Cape Cod." The Sentinel, Patriot and Daily Adver-
tiser all give her 17 days. Under the marine head of the Adver-
tiser it is stated thus: "The Herald sailed from Liverpool Decem-
ber 6 and arrived in our Bay yesterday (23) morning. This is
the shortest passage from any port in England within our recol-
lection."
Lastly Joel Willcutt in his diary under date of December 23,
1819, has this entry: "Captain Fox arrived at Boston in seventeen

days from Liverpool." There is no doubt therefore that her
passage of seventeen days is given as correctly as could be without
ascertaining the precise hour at which she left Liverpool and the
hour she arrived in Boston, which if ascertained would probably
make it a few hours more or less than seventeen days.
Philip Fox, at the age of twenty-four, as captain of the ship
Herald, had made the quickest passage ever made from England
to America. It was on his arrival at this time when hailed to know
when he left, that he replied, "Week before last." Captain Fox
had an appreciation of a joke even though he was of English birth.
January 13, 1820, he is off again, this time for Charleston.
May 16 records his arrival at Boston, probably from Liverpool,
to which port no doubt the Herald sailed from Charleston, as the
trip from Boston to Charleston, thence to Liverpool with cotton,
and home again with passengers and miscellaneous freight, was
a common trip in those days.
May 29 he sails again for Charleston, and October 4 finds
him in Boston again, the round trip taking as before about four
months. November 5 he left for Charleston, and his arrival
home is not recorded until May 7, 1821, a six months' trip this
time, possibly to different ports, possibly delayed waiting for
cargo, for we cannot imagine him making a slow passage. June 10th
Captain Fox left Boston for Liverpool, accompanied by his wife
and little son, Charles, and September 19 Joel Willcutt records:
" Captain Fox arrived at Boston and came home with his wife
and Charles this evening," and October 1, "Captain Fox moved
into Joshua Oakes' house."
Charles Fox, the eldest son of Captain Fox, used to relate in
after years his remembrances of this trip to England at the age of
six. A trip was made into Lincolnshire, where the little boy was
struck with the oddity of a flight of stairs going up on the outside
of his grandfather's house. He also had a vivid recollection of the
stage coach in which they made their journey, being chased by
highwaymen from whom by the fleetness of their horses, they
escaped.
October 23d he sailed again for Charleston, and his next home-
coming is noted on the 17th of April, 1822. After his usual three
weeks' stay on shore he started again for Charleston, May 5,
542 History of Cohasset.
taking Mrs. Fox with him, and made the round trip in less than
four months, arriving in Boston August 27th. This was Captain
Fox's last voyage on the Herald.
Another line of Liverpool packets was owned by James Read
and others, the ships being given the names of precious stones.
To Captain Fox was given the command of the ship Emerald.
The ship Emerald was built in Boston in 1822, and was a vessel
of 359 tons. She seems like a pigmy to us to-day, but in her day,
evidently, was a good-sized ship. The list of her eighty-four
owners is a list of the blueblood merchant princes of eighty-five
years ago. And Philip Fox was the captain chosen to bring out
what was in her. October n, 1822, she was registered, and on
the 13th she starts on her maiden voyage. April 23, 1823, he
arrived home from Liverpool, a six months' trip. Nothing
wonderful about that. Evidently the Emerald was not yet
tuned up. April 20th he is off again, and arrives home the week
of August 22d, not doing so well as the Amethyst, which left May
5th and arrived August 22d. On this voyage in the Amethyst sailed
Joseph Willcutt, Captain Fox's brother-in-law, probably as a
mate, and on the next voyage of the Emerald, Captain Fox signed
him as mate.
The Emerald has now been in commission a year; she has
Cohasset men as captain and mate. Let's see what she can do.
Joel Willcutt tells in one line: "1824, March 10th, Captain Fox
arrived from Liverpool in sixteen days."
This record of Joel Willcutt's as to the length of the two quick
passages bears testimony to the fact that Captain Fox considered
this trip of the Emerald quicker by one day than the one made in
the Herald in 18 19.
The Emerald arrived on the 8th of March, .1824. The daily
Advertiser, Patriot and Palladium of the 9th and Gazette of the nth
give her sixteen days. The Centinel of the 10th gives her fifteen
days, fourteen hours. The Palladium of the 12th contains the
following, "We have examined the log book of the Emerald and
find she sailed from Liverpool Friday, February 20th, at 3 P.M.
came round the rock, at 4 discharged the pilot. At 4 A.M., 2iet,
passed Holyhead. March 8th, 3 P.M., hove to off Boston Light.
At 4 took a pilot and at 6 anchored below Fort Independence."
CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 543
Taking the hour of rounding the rock on the 20th as the time
of leaving port and the hour of dropping the anchor on the 8th
as the time of arrival, and taking into account that 1824 was
leap year, the log would seem to make the passage of the Emerald
seventeen days and three hours, or no shorter than the passage
of the Herald. For years afterward these two short passages
were the theme for argument and the matter was threshed over
and over.
In 185 1 Samuel Topliff, an authority on marine matters,
prompted by a discussion at that time going on in the Boston papers,
made an exhaustive examination of all the records at hand, with
the above result, that there was probably no actual difference in
the length of the two passages. Whether this is the last word or
not, we do not know, but as we have said above, Captain Fox
evidently put down the trip of the Herald as seventeen days and
of the Emerald as sixteen.
£ At all events, and in either case, it was he who made the quick
passage. In both cases the passages were spoken of as fourteen
days to Cape Cod, and this article had been once written, put in
type, and the proof struck off, based on a magazine article, which
was largely based on fancy evidently, wherein Captain Fox is
depicted as throwing on the wharf at Boston a package of English
newspapers not fourteen days old. A story current in Cohasset,
and which must have some basis of truth in it, for Cohasset and
Scituate men served under Captain Fox, was that coming into
Boston Harbor at the termination of one of these quick passages,
Captain Fox did not wait for the tide to serve for the vessel to get
up to the wharf, but ran her on to the mud and taking a row boat
hurried ashore and reported his arrival.
From the following anecdote it may be inferred that the quick
passage of the Emerald was made in a continuous gale from shore
to shore, and that Captain Fox carried sail all the time, indeed,
the man at the wheel had to be lashed to prevent his being swept
overboard. As the Emerald was coming up Massachusetts Bay,
Captain Fox appearing on deck in the morning caught sight of the
lee rail. "Why here's a stranger," he cried.
It has been said that so great an interest had been aroused by the
performances of the clipper ships under the command of Captain
544 History of Cohasset
Fox that hundreds assembled on India Wharf to witness the
leaving of the Emerald on what was to be the quickest passage.
Some there were, probably, who made all kinds of dismal pro-
phecies as to the ultimate end of the ship driven by so reckless a
captain. Others, no doubt, called to mind the fact that although
Captain Fox was a driver he had never yet lost a spar or sail.
As the ship disappeared down the harbor under her own sail, for
there were no steam tugs in those days to tow vessels out of port,
or into their wharves, the crowd turned away, calculating the time
when the Emerald would poke her nose into the wharf she had
just left. But the most sanguine never imagined how short that
time would be.
In those days no wireless messages conveyed the news from
Cape Cod of a home-bound ship's return; no telegram from
Hull told of her nearing her destination. It was only when she
came up the harbor, under more sail than most captains care to
carry when coming into port, that the owners were informed
that the Emerald was returning. It never occurred to them that
she was returning from Liverpool, but that she was returning to
repair the damage occasioned by some mishap. Therefore, as
soon as the Emerald was within hailing distance, Captain Fox
was greeted with the inquiry, "What's the matter?" For answer
he tossed on the wharf a package of English papers not eighteen
days old, and bade them look at the dates.
It has been said that the insurance companies after this record
trip of the Emerald refused to insure any vessels captained by
Philip Fox. Be that as it may, Joel Willcutt records his starting
off again March 21st, and his arrival home June 3rd, whether in
the Emerald or not he does not say, but Captain Fox evidently
kept at his vocation as sea captain until his death, which occurred
in the Mediterranean in 1832
There is no one alive who remembers Captain Fox, but stories
concerning him are plentiful in Cohasset, and from these one
gathers that he was a man of quick impulses, generous to a fault,
ever ready to do a friend a good turn. This latter trait is evi-
denced by the fact that he obtained ships, or places on ships, for
his brother-in-law and the husbands of his sisters-in-law.
When he arrived in Boston he was always in Cohasset the same
C okas set* s Deep Sea Captains. 545
day, and if he was not able to hire a horse and chaise for the
journey, he would buy one. He bought the house on North Main
Street, now occupied by his granddaughters, while it was in
process of construction, and had it finished to suit his peculiar
ideas. Either before or after he was in the Liverpool trade he
probably made journeys to India, for he brought home articles of
furniture which must have come from that locality.
The Amethyst and the Emerald were sold into the whaling trade
and the Amethyst was lost among the ice upon the northwest coast
in 1886. The Emerald was purchased by John A. Parker an
eminent merchant of New Bedford, in 1827, and she became
famous in the new business she was so long employed in, whaling.
Lucky as a whaler as she had been as a packet, in seven voyages
her average fare was 2700 barrels of whale and sperm oil.
In 1862 she was sold to parties in Honolulu, S. L, and her new
debut was under the native name of one of the ancient kings there.
Whether she is going now or not, we do not know, but certainly
she must have been a strongly built vessel to have survived Philip
Fox's driving her with all sail set in the midst of a gale and running
on the mud in the place of the more prosaic method of letting go
the anchor.
The picture of her which is reproduced here is from the collection
of oil paintings of old ships in the possession of Mr. William O.
Taylor, of the Boston Globe, who very kindly had the painting
photographed in order that a half-tone might be obtained for this
chapter. The vessel is represented as being in holiday attire on the
occasion of some celebration, possibly the laying of the foundation
of the Bunker Hill Monument June 17, 1775, when Lafayette
laid the corner stone and Daniel Webster made the oration. The
National ensign floating at the stern with its nineteen stripes is
interesting as showing the number of states in the Union at that
time, although by the law passed in 1818 the flag was restored to
the original thirteen stripes.
This passage of the Emerald is we believe the quickest ever made
between Liverpool and Boston by a vessel of her size or anywhere
near her size.
The clipper ship Red Jacket, 3500 tons, built in Bath in 1854,
made the trip from Boston to Liverpool in a shorter time.
546 History of Cohasset.
Captain Joseph Willcutt was born in Cohasset, September
22, 1799. He was a son of Joel Willcutt, whose diary has already
been referred to, and to which the writer acknowledges his deep
obligation for valuable bits of information in preparing this
chapter.
So far as is known Joel Willcutt never was a sailor, but his
sons all were, and his daughters, with two exceptions, married
sailors. Possibly this was due to the fact that his wife, whose
name was Sutton, came from a seafaring family. His sons,
Lewis, Warren, Andrew, Lot, and Joseph, all became fishermen
in their youth, and Andrew and Lewis made deep sea voyages,
but there is no record that any one of them, with the exception
of Joseph, ever became deep sea captains, although Andrew is
spoken of as captain of the fishing schooner Union.
His daughter, Anna, married Captain Philip Fox, Betsey
became the wife of Captain James Pratt, Isabella married Captain
John Williams, who with Captain Charles Bennett, the husband of
Myra Willcutt, was lost at sea in a trip to the West Indies in 1841.
From 1814, when Joseph was fifteen years old, to 1819, we
find annual records in the diary of his fitting out each summer
for mackerel voyages, but in the latter year he began to sail with
his brother-in-law, Captain Fox, in the ship Herald on his voy-
ages to Charleston and Liverpool. On May 9, 1822, Joseph
arrived at Boston four days after Captain Fox had sailed from
Boston, so it is probable that sometime in 182 1 Captain Fox had
obtained a berth for him in some other vessel, presumably as
mate.
July 12th he returned from another voyage. October 13th
he sailed for Savannah on the ship America. May 3, 1823, he
sailed for Charleston in the ship Amethyst, arriving home by way
of Liverpool, August 2 2d. He then took the position of mate
on the Emerald under his brother-in-law, Captain Fox, and his
first voyage from Liverpool to Boston was made in sixteen days.
The next record we have of Joseph is of his leaving Boston, June
24, 1824, for Liverpool, and arriving in Boston, September 24th.
January 1, 1829, he sailed from Boston in the ship Charles
Henry; November 30, 183 1, he arrived at Boston.
The last two entries in the diary in regard to him are: "1835,
Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 547
January 29th, Joseph came home this day." " 1841, April 8th,
Our son Joseph died."
In the latter years of his life he owned a quarter interest in
the bark Juno, of which he was also commander. We have no
record of the exact date when he first became a captain, but it
was probably in 1824, or soon after. He married Myra Bates
and lived in the house on the northerly corner of Highland
Avenue and Beach Street, which she inherited from her father.
The records at the Boston Custom House give us this further
record in regard to Captain Joseph Willcutt. In 1836 he was
captain of the 541-ton ship Charlotte, built in 1836, and owned
by Henry Oxnard, Abbot Lawrence, and William Appleton. In
March, 1839, he is registered as captain and part owner of the
295-ton bark Juno, built in Boston in the winter of 1838-39, and
this was without doubt his last command.
Captain John Williams and Captain Charles Bennett
married Isabella and Myra, daughters of Joel Willcutt. In a
voyage from New York to the West Indies with a heavy cargo
of corn their vessel was lost, and no tidings were ever obtained
from them. Captain Williams was accompanied by his son,
Lyman Davis, fourteen years of age, who pleaded so hard to be
taken along that his father reluctantly consented, against his own
better judgment, hoping that one voyage would cure the boy of
his desire to become a sailor. So in one year Joel Willcutt was
robbed by death of one son, two sons-in-law, and a grandson.
The record given of such vessels commanded by John Williams
as were registered at the Boston Custom House is as follows:
(It must be understood that a vessel is registered but once, unless
it has changed owners.) Brig Laurel, July 21, 1823; brig Susan,
June 15, 1824, brig Mermaid, August 6, 1830, brig Fortune,
March 1, 1831; brig Elizabeth, November 11, 1836 (owned in
Hingham); brig Padang, January 7, 1832. October 17, 1837, he
is registered as captain of the schooner Amanda Ophelia, named
for his infant daughter, a vessel of 58 tons, built at Robin-
ston, Maine, the same year, the others owners being Rufus Lane,
Charles Lane, and Caleb Marsh.
He is registered August 11, 1838, as master of the brig Russell,
548 History of Cohasset.
built at Cohasset in 1835, also May 11, 1839; schooner Har-
mony, November 9, 1839, built at Cohasset the preceding year.
Of the schooner Eunice, built at Cohasset in 1835, and owned
by Abraham H. Tower, he was captain, September 5, 1840, and
September 21, 1841, captain and part owner. This vessel was
his last command, and the voyage on which he started in her in
September, 1841, was only ended when his vessel laid her bones
on the bottom of the sea, over which he had sailed for so many
years.
Of Captain James Pratt, the remaining son-in-law of Joel
Willcutt, we have been unable to find any record, except that he
was at one time captain of the brig Talisman, and it was while
he commanded this vessel that her picture was painted representing
her as entering the harbor of Liverpool, a reproduction of which
forms one of the illustrations of this chapter.
Captain John Lincoln was born in 1784, and died at sea in
1832. The name of John Lincoln is given as captain of the fol-
lowing vessels in the registers of the Boston Custom House, but as
the name continues on the records after the death of the Cohasset
John Lincoln, we cannot be sure that these vessels were actually
commanded by him: Schooner Eliza, May, 1819; schooner
Mary Ann, 1822; brig Boston, 1823; brig Billow, 1824; brig
Chilo, 1828; brig Wave, 1831. We also find another John Lincoln,
commanding the following Cohasset vessels: — Schooner William,
1791, brig Triton, 1793, schooner Neptune, 1795.
Captain John Wilson was born in 1788, and died in 1861.
In the possession of his grandson are a sextant inscribed, " John

From the first volume of the Cohasset history we learn that he
was captured in the Cohasset packet in the War of 1812, and that

his vessel was redeemed by her owner, Levi Tower, by the
payment of a ransom. Hence the cutlass. In 1819 he is men-
tioned as captain of the fishing schooner Lydia. The records of
the Boston Custom House show him to have been captain of
the Almira in 1823. From the log book we learn that the voy-
ages made at this time were from Norfolk, Va., to Malaga and
back to Boston, and from Philadelphia to St. Thomas.
November 17, 1827, he is recorded as captain of the schooner
Charlotte, and we know from the picture referred to above that
he was still captain of the same craft in 1830. In 1836, 1837,
and 1838, he was captain of the schooner Eolus, and in 1841, he
is registered not only as captain of the schooner Caroline, but as
part owner. In 1845 he commanded the schooner Bounty.
John (Baptiste) Barker was born in Italy in 1791. What
brought him to Cohasset we do not know, but we do know that
he settled here, married a Cohasset girl, and became a naturalized
citizen of the United States, under the name of John Barker.
Possibly his name had been Giovanni Baptiste in his native
Italy. He was most commonly known as Teesta Barker. Not
a great deal can be ascertained in regard to his voyages. Frank
Pratt, in his journal, mentions him in 1830 as sailing master of
the fishing schooner Tower, owned by Captain Nichols Tower.
On this voyage he was accompanied by his son, Elijah. In this
vessel, in 1833 and 1837, he made foreign voyages.
For several years he made trips to the West Indies in the
schooner Juno, owned by Captain Nichols Tower, and in his last
voyage in her was run down and nearly lost his life. The bark
Lewis, also owned by Captain Nichols Tower, was another ves-
sel which he commanded in 184 1. He made several voyages in
vessels owned by Captain Lothrop. St. Thomas, Porto Rico,
and Curacoa were some of the ports visited by him on his voyages.
In 1845 he was captain of the schooner Herculean, built at Salis-
bury, and owned jointly by D. T. Lothrop, Josiah O. Lawrence,
and Captain David B. Wilson, and in 1846 he is registered as
master and managing owner of the same vessel. In 1850 a John
Barker is mentioned as captain of the brig Moulton.
His last voyages were as captain of the schooner Grey Eagle,

owned by himself and the Whitons of Hingham, of which he took
command in October, 1852. On January 6, 1856, when within
twenty-four hours' sail from New York, his vessel was capsized,
and all on board were lost.
Captain Barker was one of the many men in Cohasset who
distinguished himself as a life saver. When the Boston was
wrecked on the rocks off Cohasset, Captain Barker, assisted by
John Lothrop and two others, went out in a boat to the wreck
and took off the crew. For this act Captain Barker received a
gold medal, which is now in the possession of his great-grandson
in Newark, N. J.
Leavitt Barnes was born in 1799, and was drowned off the
the Island of St. Thomas, August 25, 1827. He was captain of
the Three Sisters in 182 1, of the Hero in 1824, and of the Juno,
in which, or from which, he lost his life, in 1827.
Captain Warren Orcutt was born in 1800, and died in 1872.
He was captain of the schooner Sarah in 1832, the schooner
Gold Finch in 1833, the schooner Caroline in March and December,
1836, the schooner Typhoon in 1859.
Captain David Sutton was a familiar figure on the streets
of Cohasset. He occupied the house on the corner of South
Main and Beechwood Streets, the site of which is now occupied
by the house built by William B. Johnson, Esq. His father was
John Sutton, who came from Scituate to Cohasset and com-
manded, and was part owner in 1790 of the schooner Beckey.
David S. Sutton was born in 1802. He is mentioned as
captain of the new ship Ohio, in 1848, and as owner of one-third,
and in 1849 as captain and three-eighths owner of the same ves-
sel. He is also remembered as master of the bark Amazon out
of Boston to New Orleans. In 1857 he is recorded as captain of
the bark J. A. Lee.
Captain Ezra Towle, born at Suncook, N. H., March 30, 1804.
Married Sybil Barnes of Cohasset, December 21, 1828. He came
to Cohasset when fourteen years of age, where for three years be
sailed in various fishing vessels during the summer months, study-
ing navigation and mathematics with various Cohasset captains
and completing his education in these branches in Boston. At

eighteen, he entered the Liverpool Packet service; at nineteen was
first mate and at twenty-one, was a captain in that service. A
number of Cohasset men sailed with him before the mast, and as
mates, at various times during the fourteen years he was engaged
in this service, but no record of his voyages is now to be had, and
we are dependent almost entirely on tradition for any information.
It is known that at the time of his marriage, in 1828, he had com-
pleted one of the quickest runs on record and had received a cash
reward for the best run of the season. He was a man of genial
disposition and warm heart, open handed and liberal in the extreme,
but like many of the old time captains, rather severe aboard ship
and a stickler for his rights, obliging not only his crew to toe the
mark, but everybody he did business with.
At request of his wife, he left the Liverpool service about 1833 or
1834 and entered the coasting trade, sailing mainly to Southern
Ports — Savannah, New Orleans, Norfolk, the West Indies, etc. An
incident, related to the writer by one who witnessed it, will signify
a little Captain Towles' character. Captain Towles was sent by the
owners to New Orleans to bring back a barque, whose captain and
mate had died of yellow jack, and whose crew had all deserted her.
He took on two men, a first mate and rigger, relying on picking
up a crew there to handle her. He secured a crew of nine men, all
tough specimens, and they made their boasts that they would fix
the d d Yankee Skipper before 48 hours.
The second day out, the whole nine men got in a mixed up gen-
eral row in the forecastle. The mate, who jumped below, was
thrown on deck with a broken collar bone and a bad scalp wound.
The narrator says Captain Ez. made about two jumps from the
mizzenmast to the forecastle, grabbing a capstan bar on his way.
He sprang below, and for about 15 minutes there was the liveliest
mixup ever seen, but he was the last man on deck, driving them
all before him, and every man bore some mark of that handspike.
But after that, we had no more trouble with that crew. They
realized their captain was a man and respected him as such.
In 1839, 1840 and 1841 he paid hospital money at the port of
Cohasset as captain of the schooner Rebecca and in 1844 of the
schooner Rubicon.
Captain Towle left the sea for good in the early fifties, embarking
in business as a contractor, in Cohasset. The older members of the

community will remember the line of stages be conducted, connect-
ing with the Hingham and Nantasket boats. By an unfortunate
accident in 1856, he lost his left hand and crippled his right, but
although handicapped, he still continued, until his death, actively
engaged in various business lines.
One monument to his enterprise is the cut at Cunningham's
bridge. This outlet through the beach at this point having been
made by Captain Towle, connecting the waters of Little Harbor
with the ocean. He died in 1872.
Captain David Wilson was another foreigner who became an
adopted son of Cohasset and one of her deep sea captains. He
seems to have accumulated property in his calling, for in the
vessels which he commanded he generally was part owner. His
record at the Boston Custom House is, 1843, master and owner
with Josiah O. Lawrence of the brig Casket; 1845, master and
quarter owner of the brig Speedwell; 1848, master and third owner
of the brig Speedwell; 1849, master and quarter owner of the
bark Julia; 1850, master and three-eighths owner bark Julia;
1852-53, master of the schooner Georgianna; 1853-54, master and
three-eighths owner of the ship Kepler; 1855, master and three-
eighths owner of the ship Daylight. He was also one-third owner
of the schooner Herculean.
Septimus Thorndike was another of Cohasset's captains of
whom we can obtain but a very short record. In 1834 he was
captain of the Two Sisters, in 1838 and 1839 of the Eunice, in 1840
of the Beta Bates, in 1841 of the Susan. Whether these were
fishing vessels or not we have no means of knowing. In May,
1843, he took command of the new brig Speedwell, owned by A. H.
Tower and Caleb Lothrop, and in June of the same year died on
board of her.
Captain William Pratt, son of Captain Peter and grandson
of Captain Aaron Pratt was a well-known deep sea captain, but
almost no record can be obtained of his voyages. In 1838 he paid
hospital money as captain of the schooner Ellen, in 1841 as captain
of the schooner Gull, in 1846 of the schooner Talisman, of which
he was part owner. In 1836 he was registered at the Boston
Custom House as captain of the brig Phoebe Ann. His voyages
carried him as far away as Calcutta, and he is known to have been

wrecked on the west coast of South America when in the guano
trade. Late in life he was skipper of the Cohasset-built yacht
Gracie. He was born in 1807 and died in 1894.
Captain George W. Collier, the oldest son of Captain James
Collier, was born in Cohasset in 1809. His father evidently did
not intend him for a sailor, for he received a better education than
did most of the boys of his age, and when a young man, took charge
of the books in his father's store on the wharf at the head of the
cove.
He was at one time a member of the school committee, and
represented Cohasset for one term as a member of the General
Court. He and his chum, Edward Doane, were also elected at
one of the town meetings as field drivers, and soon gave evidence
of the fact that they did not consider the office an honorary one
by putting their fathers' cows in the pound.
In the first volume of this history he is set down as captain of
the Polly in 1816, but, as at that time he was but seven years old,
the entry is manifestly an error. A close investigation of the
register discloses the fact that George Collins was the captain of
the Polly at that time, a very natural error and one frequently
made with the name of Collier. In spite of the intention of his
father to make a merchant of him, it was evident that the love for
the sea would not permit him to remain on shore.
In 1 83 1 lie took part in a rescue of sailors shipwrecked on our
coast, as is shown by the following inscription on a medal in the
possession of his nephew, George Collier Bates, "The Humane
Society of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to George W.
Collier in testimony of their appreciation of his exertions, united
with seven others, whereby the lives of the crew of the schooner
Boston were preserved when in imminent danger off Cohasset
rocks, April 12th, 183 1."
Perhaps the very work he was engaged in, making entries per-
taining to the vessels owned, or partly owned by his father, the
Young James, Little Sarah, Elizabeth, General Marion, Rubicon,
Pantheon, Profit, and Hobart, only served to make him restless.
Possibly the call of the sea was too strong to be resisted as he
looked out on the waters of the harbor dotted with vessels, or
thought of his brother sailing his vessel on southern seas. At any
554 History of Cohasset.
rate he finally put one side the pen with which he had adorned
with beautiful penmanship the ledgers in the old store on the
wharf, and became a sailor.
We have no record showing how, or in what vessels, or on what
voyages, he obtained his preliminary training, but our first knowl-
edge of him as sailor is obtained from Frank Pratt's narrative,
where he appears as second mate of the bark Hobart, a Cohasset
vessel with a Cohasset name, and manned from Captain down by
Cohasset men. This was in 1842, in his thirty-third year, and
the voyage was New York to Bordeaux, thence to New Orleans,
and back to New York.
In the next voyage of the Hobart he was promoted to the posi-
tion of first mate. This voyage was to Buenos Ayres and return,
but the return was four years later than was anticipated, and
Mr. Collier brought back as captain the vessel in which he had
gone out as first mate. On arriving at New York the bark was
immediately loaded with provisions for the sufferers from the
famine in Ireland, and Captain Collier still continued in command.
Captain Abraham Hall, who has already been referred to in
these pages, visited Baltimore in his packet, carrying there freights
of mackerel caught by the Cohasset fisherman, and returning with
the products of the South. The firm with which he transacted
business in Baltimore was that of John Henderson & Co. On
one of his trips Captain Hall found that young Gustavus Henderson,
a son of the head of the firm, had run away from home and stowed
himself away in the packet, and only appeared on deck when it
was too late to return to his home. The upshot of the matter was
that young Henderson became a member of the Hall family and
stayed in Cohasset for six or seven years, becoming intimate with
the Collier boys, who were nephews of Captain Hall.
Nothing was more natural than that George W. Collier, in search
of a ship, should turn to the friend of his young manhood, Gustavus
Henderson, now a member of the firm of Henderson & Co., and
apply for the command of one of the ships owned by that firm.
The Hendersons always kept a warm spot in their hearts for any one
hailing from Cohasset, and Captain J. P. T. Percival in his narra-
tive bears testimony to the loving care which they bestowed on his
dying brother, whom he was obliged to leave at Baltimore on one
of his voyages.
CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 555
So it came about that for many years Captain George W. Collier
sailed from Baltimore in the employ of the Hendersons as captain
of the ships Chasca and Jane Henderson. February 21, 1859, the
ship John H. Jarvis, 740 tons, is registered at Boston with George
W. Collier as captain and one-eighth owner. John Henry Cook
was a sailor with him on this voyage, which was to New Orleans,
Trieste, Venice, and other European ports, and Mr. Cook relates
that when the vessel was outside of port Captain Collier had the
crew called on deck and addressed them in a few words to this
effect: — "Men, we have started on a voyage which I hope will
be a good voyage for us and a good voyage for the owners of this
ship. My constant endeavor shall be to work for the best interests
of the owners, and if you will do the same, I shall be perfectly
satisfied." "And," added Mr. Cook, "if he had asked any man
in that crew to jump overboard for him, he would have done it in
a minute."
Captain Collier was a man of exceedingly nervous temperament,
absent-minded to the degree that on one occasion, in New Orleans,
having availed himself of the loan of a horse and buggy to ride
down town, his business completed, he returned home by car,
leaving the horse and buggy where he had hitched him.
Captain Collier married in England Miss Annie Tongue, whose
ability may be judged from the fact that during an illness of
Captain Collier, as related by Mr. Cook, she took charge and
navigated the vessel. He was extremely fond of a practical joke,
and, it is said, was the life of that group of homesick Cohasset boys
cooped up in the town of Montevideo for four years.
At the close of the Civil War he located in New Orleans in the
ship chandlery business, where he lived until his death in 1886.
Dr. Ezektel Pratt, always referred to in Cohasset as "Old
Dr. Pratt," furnished three sons and one grandson to the list of
Cohasset's master mariners. The only complete record we have
of any of them is that written of himself by Francis L. Pratt, the
youngest son, which appears later in these pages.
His eldest son, Nichols, was born in 1809, and died in 1848 at
the age of thirty-nine, too early to have advanced far in his pro-
fession. In 1850 he was in command of the schooner Caroline.
556 History of Cohasset.
Captain Percival speaks of him in 1836 as the captain of the
schooner Beta Bates. We know that later he was in command of
vessels making foreign voyages, but we can get no record of them.
He paid hospital money as captain in 1834 of the schooner Mor-
giana, in 1835 of the schooner Friendship.
His son, also named Nichols Pratt, was born in Cohasset in 1840,
and died in California in 1907. At the age of twenty-two he
enlisted in the navy in the Civil War as acting master's mate.
November 2, 1863, he was promoted to the position of acting
ensign, and April 25, 1865, was made acting master. He was on
blockade service for twenty-three months, and was in the convoy
and recovery of the ship Ohio. He received a letter from the
department for services at Fort Fisher. After the war he went
to China and obtained a position as captain of a river steamer
there, and made China his home until 1907, when he returned to
the United States, dying in California the same year.
Another son of Dr. Pratt was Henry, born in 181 2. He is
spoken of by his brother Frank as mate of the Beta Bates at the
age of fifteen, and ten years later he is spoken of as captain of
the brig Talisman. He is also spoken of as second mate of a brig
belonging to Mr. Jairus Pratt. This brig, according to Joel
Willcutt's diary, was launched at Cohasset in 1834. His record
at the Boston Custom House is captain brig Talisman and part
owner, 1837; I844, captain brig Ann and Julia. March 30, 1849,
he is registered as master and part owner of the brig Pianet,
120 tons, the other owners being John H. Baker, Clark Cutting,
and Artemas Thorndike, of Cohasset, and George Stoddard and
George Adams, of Hingham.
The Pianet was built at Eastport, Maine, in 1848. This voyage
was to California at the time of the gold fever, and in addition to
the owners, there were in the crew from Cohasset, Charles Bourne,
Richard Lothrop, Israel Vinal, Lorenzo Bates, and Isaac Pratt.
Captain Pratt remained in California until the later years of his
life, when he returned East.
Francis L. Pratt was born in Cohasset, September 14, 1818,
the youngest son of Dr. Ezekiel Pratt, and a descendant of the old
Captain Aaron Pratt. At the age of eight he began his career as

a sailor on the schooner Albicore, Captain Willcutt, master, Edward
Doane, supercargo, and Joseph Briggs, mate, for a trip to Bangor
for lumber, receiving for the trip four dollars. The next summer
he made fishing trips on the schooner Convert, Captain, Ezekiel
Wallace. The next year on the schooner Susan, Captain, Freeman
Gannett, he served as cook on a voyage to Washington, North
Carolina, at a salary of eight dollars per month. It was on this
voyage that the brave deed referred to in the beginning of this
chapter was performed.
His next maritime experience was on the fishing schooner
William, sometimes called Black Bill, Captain, John Pratt. At
the age of ten he made his first voyage as sailor on the schooner
Beta Bates, Captain Crosby, with his brother Henry as mate.
The voyage was from Cohasset to Richmond for a cargo of flour
to be carried to Portland, Maine.
The next summer the fishing schooner Myra, Captain, Caleb
Souther, and Friendship, Captain, Elijah Pratt, had him as a
member of their crews; and the next year the Beta Bates, Captain,
Henry Martin. This schooner, Beta Bates, seems to have been
the training school for a great many Cohasset boys.
At the age of eleven, in company with his cousin Warren, Frank
Pratt made his first trip on a square rigger, the ship Chatham,
Captain Wood, on that voyage taken so often in those days, Boston
to Charleston, thence to Liverpool, and back to Boston. At this
point in his narrative he breaks forth into this exclamation, —
uNow notice, ye big boys of seventeen loafing about town, I was
eleven years old when I shipped on this vessel among all strangers
as a green hand."
That summer he went fishing, and the next fall joined the
Chatham again for a voyage to Savannah and Liverpool. The rest
of the winter he spent at school, and after another summer at fish-
ing, he made a third trip to Liverpool on the Chatham, this time
by way of New Orleans. On this trip he was accompanied by a
Cohasset boy friend, Joshua Bates, and on the trip from Liverpool
to Boston the crew were stricken with smallpox.
That winter he studied navigation, and at the age of seventeen
shipped on the brig Castile, Captain Smith, as second mate on a
voyage to Jacksonville, St. Domingo, and back. Captain Warren
558 History of Cohasset.
Bates next obtained for him the position of second mate on the
brig Cygnet, commanded by his brother-in-law, John Sayward, on
a voyage to Wilmington, North Carolina, thence to South America,
with lumber, and home with a cargo of molasses.
At the age of eighteen he signed as first mate on the fine new brig
Ceyton of Duxbury, Captain, Charles Soule, for a voyage from
Boston to St. Thomas and return. At nineteen he was first mate
of the brig Russian, sailing from New York to Havana. In the
cargo was a donkey engine, the first one ever set up in Cuba.
Mr. Pratt was a teetotaler, and relates how he substituted hot
coffee for grog as a stimulant to the sailors when working the
vessel in a gale. After discharging her cargo at Havana the
Russian proceeded to Matanzas, where she took on a load of sugar
for Antwerp, upon discharging which a cargo of salt was taken on
at Cadiz for Boston.
Arriving at Boston he shipped as second mate at Cohasset for a
fishing trip on the topsail schooner Tower, of which Nichols Tower
was Captain, and John Barker, sailing master. Among the crew
were Frederick Tower, Elijah Barker, and young Sam Snow. It
was not a successful trip, and the crew arrived home just before
Thanksgiving, each man in debt to the vessel $27.
He then resolved to try his fortunes in the new republic of Texas,
and took passage on a new ship, commanded by Captain Winsor,
of Duxbury, for New Orleans. The trip from New Orleans to
Texas was made in the schooner Hannah. Texas did not prove
to be any better place for making a fortune than old Massachusetts,
and Mr. Pratt returned home, being fortunate enough to secure
the position of second mate on the brig Grand Turk, loaded with
tobacco for Boston.
On his return to Cohasset he bought in Gloucester for $1,000, in
partnership with Mr. Alfred Whittington, the schooner Essex, in
which he made successful fishing trips during the summer. The
next winter, in the brig Talisman, commanded by his brother
Henry, he made a trip as first mate from Boston to St. Joseph,
Florida, thence to Mobile, for a cargo of cotton. In the summer
he went fishing in the Essex. The following winter he took com-
mand of the schooner Beta Bates, on which he had first sailed as a
boy of ten, for a freighting trip between ports in the Southern States.
CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 559
The next two summers he spent fishing in the schooner Essex,
sandwiching a winter of putting down buoys for the lighthouse
board on the schooner Eagle, under the command of Captain
Nichols Tower. In the fall of 1841 he worked on the bark Lewis,
building at Cohasset, but gave up this employment to join the
bark Hobart, Captain, James Collier, as first mate, on a trip to
Charleston, thence to Bordeaux with rice, from there to New
Orleans with prunes and wine, where a cargo of corn was taken on
for New York. On the trip from Charleston to Bordeaux the
Hobart started in company with two brigs from Newport, Rhode
Island, and beat them into Bordeaux by a full week. The Hobart
was evidently a good sailer, for on one trip from Mobile to New
York, Captain Collier walked into the consignee's office just as the
postman handed in his letter. Our young readers must remember
that in 1840 it took about a week to carry a letter from Mobile to
New York.
While the Hobart was lying at New Orleans the boiler of a
steamer on the opposite bank exploded, setting fire to the steamer,
which burned to the water's edge. This, occurring in the night,
furnished a grand but awful spectacle to the crew of the Hobart,
roused from their slumbers by the din of the explosion. No time,
however, was wasted in watching, for boats were immediately
launched from the bark and the crew did manful service in rescuing
from the river the members of the steamer's crew. On the com-
pletion of this voyage Captain Pratt spent the summer as captain
of the fishing schooner Ansurla, belonging to Esquire Doane, and
of a schooner belonging to Lewis Willcutt.
In the fall he shipped as first mate on the brig Eolus, belonging
to Esquire Doane, and spent the winter trading between Charleston
and Cuba. After another summer spent in mackerel fishing he
decided to give up the sea, and spent the rest of his life on shore.
Captain Pratt figured that he had sailed about 78,000 miles during
his career as a sailor.
Two brothers who were noted sea captains in their day, and
upheld the reputation of Cohasset skippers in foreign ports were
Adna N. and John Warren Bates. They were born on Fort
Hill, in Boston, although of the old Cohasset family of Bates,,
Adna in 1812, Warren in 1815.
560 History of Cohasset.
Adna, after completing his education in the Boston schools, was
employed for some time in the stationers store of Mr. Allen on
Cornhill. At what time he began his sea life is not known, but
probably very early. He was connected by marriage with the
Saywards of Gloucester, and probably sailed from that port in the
days when it was something more than the home of the fishing
industry. For that reason his name is not to be found in the
registers of the Boston Custom House until 1848, when he is set
down as captain of the Julia and Helen, a ship of 637 tons owned
by Samuel Sayward, of Gloucester.
In this vessel he made a voyage to San Francisco, reaching there
when the gold fever was at its height. On his arrival he sold the
vessel and cargo and remained in San Francisco and Sacramento
until 1856. On his return home he took up again the occupation
of a sea captain, sailing from Gloucester in the Surinam trade.
In the early sixties he made voyages to Rochelle, Hamburg, and
other ports in Europe, but in 1864 retired from the sea. He was
a skillful navigator and noted for his proficiency in mathematics.
For a number of years he served the town as Selectman, Assessor,
and Overseer of the Poor. He died in Cohasset, February 24, 1881.
John Warren Bates, as did his brother, entered the seafaring
vocation as a boy. He, too, sailed from Gloucester, commanding
two brigs from there, probably owned by the Saywards. He was
engaged in the West Indian trade for many years. We find him
registered from Boston as captain in 1849 of the Ganges, a 244-ton
brig owned by William F. Mason. In 1849 ne to°k command of
the new brig Czarina, owned by the firm of F. Nickerson & Co.,
and in 1856 we find him in command of the ship Flying Eagle,
owned by the same firm.
The Flying Eagle was a ship of 1094 tons burden, and said
to be the fastest sailing vessel afloat at that time. In her he made
voyages to San Francisco and around the world. Another vessel
commanded by him was the Prometheus.
October 10, 1861, he is registered as captain and one-eighth
owner, with the Nickersons, of the 199-ton bark Carib, and Octo-
ber 17, 1862, as captain of the 1297-ton ship Orion, In this
last vessel he probably was employed by the United States

Government in the transportation of troops. Probably his last
command was the 1546-ton clipper ship Criterion, engaged in the
California trade, under the management of Glidden & Williams.
On retiring from the sea he acted as the West Indies agent of
a prominent Boston business house for many years. Captain
Bates was for a number of years a member of the Cohasset
School Committee. He was also a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Public Library, and its first Librarian. Captain
Bates was a great lover of poetry, particularly of Byron, whose
poems he could recite from memory. He died in Cohasset in 1895.
Captain Thomas Doyle was born in Ireland, and came
to Cohasset through the instrumentality of the elder Captain
Ephraim Snow. He rose to be a master mariner, and was com-
mander of the schooners Antelope and Abigail, the brigs Eliza
Burgess and Almatia, and the bark Maryland.
Captain James Collier (until 1850 known as Captain James
Collier, Jr.) probably commanded more ships and sailed more
long voyages than any seafaring man who ever went out from
Cohasset. And possibly his record in this respect has been sel-
dom equaled by any captain, for in the latter years of his life,
when in London, a captain there made the wager that his own
record for number of vessels commanded and voyages made could
not be equaled by the captain of any merchantman then in that
port, the largest in the world. The wager was quickly taken by a
captain who named Captain Collier as one who could overtop the
record so confidently offered for competition. The result showed
Captain Collier an easy winner.
In the size of the ships he commanded he also led his friends
among the Cohasset sea captains, for beginning with the Storm
King the vessels of which he was master were all 1300 tons or
over, while the only other ships which we have recorded in this
chapter, coming anywhere near that tonnage, are the Orion, 1298
tons, and the Criterion, 1546 tons, commanded by Captain John W.
Bates.
Captain James Collier was born in Cohasset, in August, 1813,
on Cove Street, now known as Elm Street, in a little house built
562 History of Cohasset.
by his great-grandfather, Thomas Lincoln, which stood where
the Osgood School driveway enters the lot. At the age of nine
years he presented to his parents the ultimatum so common in
those days, "Let me go fishing, or I'll run away," which was
settled in the usual way by the boy taking service as a fisherman
on one of his father's vessels, possible the Young James, named
for him.
Alex Litchfield was a boy of about the same age on the same
schooner, and John Cook, an older boy, who was a member of
the crew, indulged his propensity for joking, which is well remem-
bered by those who knew Captain Cook, by fomenting strife
between these two boys, getting them ashore on the first island
touched at, where a duel with fists was fought out, with Captain
Cook as referee.
At the age of 18, at the suggestion of Captain Abraham H.
Tower, he was made captain of the schooner Profit, leaving
Boston for Norfolk City and Richmond with a general cargo.
The return cargo was coal, consigned to Oliver Ames, North
Easton, Mass., which was landed at Weymouth and carted across
country to North Easton. What a striking commentary on the
difference in the methods of transportation now and seventy-
five years ago!
In 1834 in the Profit he made a voyage to Savannah, returning
to Cohasset by way of Providence, and in the same year we find
him commanding the schooner Rubicon at New Orleans. In the
following year in the same vessel he made trading voyages from
New Orleans to Kingston, Jamaica, Santiago de Cuba, Gal-
veston, and Yucatan.
In 1838 we find him at St. Marks. In 1840 he is made cap-
tain of the bark Hobart, a Cohasset vessel, and that year and the
next made trips in her to Mobile, Providence, New York, Tripoli,
and Leghorn. The round trip from New York to Charleston,
Bordeaux, New Orleans, and back to New York was made in
1842.
In October of that year Captain Collier became engaged to
Miss Joanna Nichols Bates, of Cohasset, and soon after left for
Buenos Ayres by way of Rio Janeiro in the Hobart, expecting to
be married on his return home from the voyage. But on the
Cohasset' s Deep Sea Captains. 563
21st of May, 1843, the Hobart was stranded on the bar of the
River Pantanoso, in the bay of Montevideo. A lawsuit arose
on account of the general average, which dragged on after the
Spanish fashion, and Captain Collier was detained in Monte-
video until 1845, when he left the bark and came home, arriving
in Cohasset in May, and was married July 6th. When the
Hobart returned to New York, two years later, she was under
the command of Captain George W. Collier, who had gone out
in her as first mate, with Jacob F. Bates, Captain Collier's
brother-in-law, as mate.
The Hobart was a vessel to which the writer of this chapter was
wont to refer as an example of the old-time shipping days in
Cohasset, — a Cohasset vessel, with a Cohasset name, built,
owned, captained, officered and manned by Cohasset men. But
when he searched for her record at the Bostom Custom House he
found it was not there. No enrollment, no register. Nobody
living in Cohasset had any recollection of a vessel built seventy
years ago. Finally recourse was had to the New York Custom
House, and there it was found that the Hobart was registered in
September, 1840, with the following record: " Owners, Abraham
H. Tower, James Collier, Peter Lothrop, Daniel T. Lothrop and
Caleb Lothrop; Captain, James Collier, Jr.; length, 96 feet, tonnage
204 tons." Reference was made to enrollment number 10 of
June 12, 1840, issued at the port of Boston, but this enrollment
is not on file there, and the certificate of the master builder was
burned with numerous other records in the fire in the appraisers'
stores, but, without doubt, her builder was Jonathan B. Bates.
In 1846 Captain Collier commanded the bark Julia on a voyage
from Boston to Maracaibo.
The brig Monserrat was his next command, and in her he
made one of the quickest trips on record to Queenstown, Ireland,
fifteen days. The purpose of this voyage was the carrying of
provisions to the famine-stricken sufferers of Ireland. On his
arrival home in June he took on a cargo for Malaga, at which port
he arrived in August.
In 1848 he left New York for Porto Rico, accompanied by his
wife and infant daughter, with his brother-in-law, Jacob F.
Bates, as first mate. San Francisco was then the goal for vessels,
564 History of Cohasset.
and January, 1849, found the Monserrat leaving New York for
that port, carrying passengers, as well as cargo, to the new
land of gold. The voyage home terminated at New York in
March, 1850.
A year later we find him ending the same voyage at the port of
New York, but in a new vessel, the bark E. H. Chapin.
In 1 85 1 he again makes a voyage to San Francisco, but in
another vessel, and by a more circuitous route. His vessel is
now the bark Salem, and his route from Cincinnati, which he
leaves in May, down the Ohio and Mississippi to New Orleans,
where he arrived in June, thence to Rio Janeiro, leaving there in
September, and arriving at San Francisco in December. His
voyage home began March 16th, and ended at New York, in
July, 1852.
Captain Collier was in his fortieth year when in March, 1853,
he sailed from Boston as commander of the new clipper ship
Storm King, for his fourth consecutive voyage around the Horn
for San Francisco. The Storm King was making her maiden
voyage, was 184 feet in length, and 1288 tons measurement.
She was all that a ship could be made at that time, and her cargo
represented a fortune. Captain Collier was informed by his
owners, Messrs. Isaac Rich & Co., in their letter of instructions
to him, of the great confidence they had in him in intrusting to
so young a captain so valuable a ship and cargo. That their
confidence was not misplaced was proved by the safe arrival of
the Storm King home in April, 1854, after a successful voyage
to San Francisco, touching at Callao on the return voyage.
If the Storm King carried with her the hopes and fears of her
owners in Boston, no less was the feeling of anxiety for her safe
return in the little seaport of Cohasset, whose inhabitants from
the rocky shore and from boats, which had put out beyond the
Minots, watched her till she was a speck on the horizon. For
Captain Collier was not the only Cohasset man on board. His
third officer was his brother, Christopher, and with him were
three Cohasset boys making their first voyage, John Hall, Ezekiel
Marshall, and his nephew, Samuel P. Bates, all three destined to
become sea captains themselves.
In 1855 the ship Mattapan came under Captain Collier's com-

mand, and in her a voyage was made to New Orleans and
probably to other ports, for in 1856 we hear of him at Charleston.
The 1388-ton ship North America, sl beautiful specimen of
naval architecture, both as regards construction and fittings,
became Captain Collier's home from 1857 to 1865. October 6th
of the former year he is reported at London, January 6, 1858, at
Melbourne, Australia, April at Callao, and September back
again in London, which port he left for Bombay and Calcutta,
carrying British troops, among them Captain. Havelock, who
was to win fame and the title of General by his brilliant services
to the Crown in India.
The year i860 finds the North America at home, after a three
years' voyage in foreign seas. In the cargo which she brought to
Savannah was the first shipment to America of gunny sacks.
The War of the Rebellion was now near at hand, and Captain
Collier, as soon as the Star of the East was fired on in her
attempt to succor Fort Sumter, offered his services to the gov-
ernment in any capacity in which his experience could be made
useful. He was refused on the ground of age, he being at that
time in his forty-eighth year.
May, 1 86 1, the North America left New York for St. Johns,
N. F., thence to Liverpool, from which port she sailed for home
in November. On this voyage Captain Collier took with him
four young men from Cohasset as sailors before the mast: George
H. Smith, Daniel N. Tower, Walter Tower, and Nichols Tower.
Before the completion of the voyage George Smith was promoted
to the position of third mate.
In February, 1862, the North America took on at Boston the
Fourteenth Maine Regiment and proceeded to Ship Island, at
the mouth of the Mississippi River. There she took on the
Thirtieth Massachusetts Regiment, Reed's Mounted Riflemen
and the Fourth Massachusetts Battery, and started up the river,
anchoring just below forts Jackson and Philip. After the forts
were taken by the naval vessels, the North America followed
General Butler's flagship to New Orleans, and was the second
vessel to land troops.
The North America returned to Boston with a cargo of old
bells and other metal which had been sent to New Orleans from
566 History of Cohasset.
the outlying plantations, subject to Beauregard's order, to be
melted into cannon for the use of the Confederacy.
From 1862 to 1865 Captain Collier made trips in the North
America, the ports touched at being New York, London, Antwerp,
Melbourne, Callao, and the Chinchas. In 1864 he had his eye
operated on at Antwerp for cataract, a disease common to sea-
faring men.
In 1865 the privateer Shenandoah continued preying on the
commerce of the United States, even after the Confederacy had
surrendered, and peace had been declared. The North America
was one of the vessels marked for capture and destruction by the
captain of this rebel cruiser, but Captain Collier's vigilance was
equal to that of his pursuer, and the old "North" successfully
passed the Shenandoah in the night in the Australasian seas.
Either before or after this event the Shenandoah was lying in
Melbourne harbor, where also were lying a number of United
States merchantmen. It was decided by the captains of these
vessels to lay a torpedo in the path of the outgoing Shenandoah,
and the torpedo was actually made and stored on board of the
North America. But in some way the captain of the Shenan-
doah got wind of the scheme and left the harbor before the plan
could be put in execution.
This was the last voyage of the North America under the flag
of the United States. She was sold in South America, and Cap-
tain Collier returned home by steamer, remaining on land from
August, 1865, to September, 1866.
In that month he took command of the new 1310-ton ship
Tecumseh, of which his nephew, Samuel P. Bates, of Cohasset,
was first mate. He left Boston, September 7th, for Valparaiso,
carrying a cargo of cannon and cannon balls for the Chilian
government, to be used in its war against Peru. The Tecumseh
arrived at Valparaiso, December 10th, and left for Liverpool,
February 10th, arriving there May 29th, and at Boston in July.
Captain Collier stayed another year on shore, and in Sep-
tember, 1868, took command of the new 1328-ton ship Pharos,
which was to be his sea home for the next six years, and in which
he made the following voyages: Left Boston, September 20,
1868, arrived at San Francisco, January 25, 1869; left there,

April 20th, arrived at Liverpool, September 5th; left there for
Boston, October 25th, at which place he arrived, December 13th.
Captain Collier's next voyage in the Pharos kept him away
from home three years. He left Boston for New Orleans in
January, 1871, arriving there February 17th. Left New Orleans,
March 22d, for Liverpool, and arrived there in May. June 17th
he left Liverpool for San Francisco, where he arrived December

14th, for water, and arrived at London, November 4th. January

He left Sidney, August 9th, for San Francisco, arriving there
October 21st. Here he left the ship and came home by rail,
while the Pharos kept on her way to Liverpool, where she ended
her voyage.
Captain Collier left Boston by steamer in March, 1874, to
rejoin his ship, but a favorable opportunity offering, he sold the
ship and returned to Boston by way of Philadelphia.
From May to December, 1874, Captain Collier was at home,
part of the time being employed in overseeing the construction
of the new 1314-ton ship Highland Light, which was building at
Bath, Me. This vessel he commanded for four years and a
half. His first voyage in her was over the old route so often
sailed by him, New York to San Francisco, making the trip in
127 days, arriving there April 30, 1875. ^n October he sailed for
Liverpool, arriving there March 27th, and took on cargo for
Philadelphia, where he arrived May 15th. June 30th the prow
of the Highland Light was turned for the second time toward
San Francisco, arriving there December 2d.
After unloading she proceeded up the river for a cargo of grain.
Coming down the river she struck on Blossom Rock, but kept on
her way to San Francisco, where divers made an examination of
her bottom, and reported that no damage had resulted from the
accident. The ship made very slow headway on the voyage to
568 History of Cohasset.
Liverpool, where she arrived July 6th, making the voyage in 150
days. As soon as the cargo was discharged the ship was put into
dry dock, and a piece of Blossom Rock was discovered sticking
to the keel.
The Highland Light left Liverpool, September 10th, for Callao,
arriving there December 15th. Left May 1, 1878, for Mauri-
tius, where she arrived July 16th. On the 15th day of October
she left Mauritius, and arrived at Calcutta, November 2d. Feb-
ruary 16, 1879, Captain Collier turned the Highland Light home-
ward, and arrived in Boston, June 29th, completing a voyage of
exactly three years.
Since leaving the Storm King, Captain Collier had been in the
employ of Thomas Nickerson & Co., of Boston, and his term of
service with this firm ended only with his retirement from the sea
in 1886, a period of thirty years, almost as remarkable a record as
that of the number of his voyages. Naturally between employer
and employed had grown up a feeling of mutual respect, confidence,
and good will. Captain Collier had been for some time the captain
oldest in service in the employ of the firm, and it was natural that
his employers should turn to him now and ask him to undertake
a new task. This was to leave the Highland Light, of which he
was part owner, and take command of another ship.
When the old Pharos was sold, Nickerson & Co. started on
the construction of a new Pharos, the largest and finest ship they
had owned. She was 2200 tons burden, up to date in every
respect, but had been unlucky since her launching, and the task
given Captain Collier was to remove the "hoodoo" and make her
as successful as she deserved to be from the money and skill put
into her construction. This task was successfully accomplished.
November 29, 1879, the new ship Pharos left New York for
London and arrived there December 29th. January 23d left
London for Cardiff for a cargo for Coquimbo, Chile. Left Cardiff
February 25th, and arrived at Coquimbo June 14th, which port he
left August 18th for San Francisco, arriving there October 9th.
At this port he was joined by his eldest daughter, who made the
rest of the voyage with him. The voyage was to Liverpool,
Calcutta, and New York, and proved to be one of the stormiest
voyages in the career of Captain Collier.
Cohas set's Deep Sea Captains. 569
The Pharos left San Francisco November 6th for Liverpool,
where it arrived March 22, 1881, and left June 16th for Calcutta,
arriving there October 10th. Left Calcutta January 10, 1882,
and arrived at New York May 2d. July 25th the Pharos left
New York for the port from which she had just returned, arriving
there December 2 2d. After lying in Calcutta 102 days the Pharos
turned toward home again, arriving in New York September 14,
1883. November 25th of the same year the prow of the Pharos
was once more turned toward India, Bombay this time being her
destination. At this port she arrived in April, 1884, and left for
Cochin June 8th, where she took on a cargo for New York, arriving
November 17th.
February 5, 1885, Captain Collier started on what was to be his
last voyage. He left New York in the Pharos, bound to Bombay,
where he arrived June 17th. After discharging cargo left for
Calcutta August 25th, and arrived September 21st. While loading
for New York he contracted the fever, from the effects of which
he never fully recovered. He left for New York, November 10th,
and arrived there April 2, 1886. He was then in the seventy-third
year of his age, and for five years remained at home, gradually
succumbing to the inroads of old age, until, January 14, 1891, at
the age of seventy-eight, he furled his sails and dropped anchor in
that harbor whence no ship has ever sailed back.
Although Captain Collier made several quick passages, he was
never a driver, his idea being to bring his ship into port in as good
condition as when she left. His long experience had taught him
the folly of carrying sail when nothing was to be gained by it and
possibly everything might be lost. He had become skilled in
detecting the approach and escaping from monsoons and typhoons,
and in one of his last voyages to New York from Calcutta, from
which port he sailed in company with two other ships, he escaped,
by calculating its course, a monsoon which destroyed his companion
ships.
Besides the ports touched at in the United States in his early
coasting trips, a partial record of ports he visited is as follows:
Coquimbo, Maracaibo, Queenstown, Malaga, Antwerp, Chincha,
Valparaiso, Porto Rico, Singapore, Cardiff, Kingston, Santiago,

each; Rio Janeiro, twice; Melbourne and Bombay, three times;
Callao, four times; London and Calcutta, six times; New Orleans,
seven; Liverpool, eight, and San Francisco, ten times.
Captain James Hall, a son of Captain George Hall, was bom
in 1817 at the old Collier house on North Scituate Beach. The
first sound probably that came to his ears was the sound of waves,
and it certainly was the last. Presumably he served the usual
apprenticeship of Cohasset boys on board fishing crafts, and in
1839 was captain of the schooner Industry, which his father had
commanded before him, but the first record we have of him is
on the voyage to Bordeaux on the bark Hobart, under the captaincy
of his cousin, James Collier. Mr. Hall stayed with the Hobart
until after his return from Ireland, and probably soon afterward
became captain of his own vessel. He was captain in 1850 of the
Stranger and in 1853 of the Albion. The greater part of his life
he sailed between New York and the Cape of Good Hope in the
wool trade.
He was at one time master of the bark James A. Lee, and is
registered at the Boston Custom House in 1859 as captain of the
594-ton bark William G. Anderson.
In a terrific storm off Cape Horn in the year 1870, he was killed
by a wave which came aboard his ship Orion, and was buried at sea.
He succeeded his father as member of the Order of the Cincinnati.
Isaac Hall, a brother of Captain James Hall, was not by
profession a sea captain, but a shipbuilder, but he seems to have
been equipped with the knowledge and skill necessary for that
position, for, as will be seen later on, he commanded a brig from
Turks Island to Boston. He also commanded the 80-ton schooner
Francis M. Steele in a voyage from Boston to California, which
State he made his home for the rest of his life.
Winslow G. Hall, another brother, is also on the record, master
of the 108-ton schooner John D. Sanborn, of San Francisco,
November 16, 1864.
Captain Christopher Collier, youngest son of Captain
James Collier, was born in Cohasset in 18 19, and learned in Boston
the trade of a mason. He returned home in 1847 to be with his

father in his last days, and stayed on the farm in North Scituate
until after his father's death in 1850, when he took command of a
schooner lightering stone to Minots Lighthouse, then in process
of construction. He also made voyages to the West Indies with
Captain Hough Larry as mate. In 1852 he was captain of the
schooner Profit. He sailed in the Storm King, as has been related,
as mate in 1854, on a voyage to San Francisco and return, and in
1856 was mate of the bark Quincy, Captain, Joseph H. Smith.
On his return from this voyage he became master of the bark
Avon, in which he started on his last trip in 1862 on a voyage to
Valparaiso and return. The voyage to Valparaiso was made in
safety, but on the return trip, loaded with ore, the old vessel
succumbed to the force of a terrible storm, and all on board went
down with her.
The Avon had just been spoken by a captain who had formerly
commanded her, and who, a few days after, with a new, strong
vessel, succeeded with difficulty in weathering the gale. It was
his prediction on arriving in port that the Avon was too old, and
loaded with too dangerous a cargo to outlive the terrible storm
which he knew she had encountered.
Captain Collier was a man of very large size, and was noted for
his strength. He often remarked that at 10.30 on Sunday mornings
when at sea he could fancy that he was being prayed for by his old
pastor, Mr. Osgood, in the words he habitually used, "Be with
those who go down to the sea in ships and do business on the
great waters." He was named for his uncle, Christopher Lincoln,
who was lost at sea in 1804.
So was added another to the long list of Cohasset mariners who
had "gone down to the sea in ships" but had never returned.
When sometime in Cohasset a marine park shall be constructed
overlooking the harbor, formerly a scene of bustling activity, there
will perchance be erected a monument to the memory of those who
have lost their lives at sea: John Williams, Charles Bennett, John
Barker, James Hall, and many others, and not the least among
these shall stand the name of Christopher Collier.
The meagreness of any records of Cohasset's captains has been
spoken of in these pages, but the author of this chapter hastens to
acknowledge his indebtedness to an account of his own life, written
572 History of Cohasset.
after his retirement from the sea, for the perusal of his grand-
children, by Captain John P. T. Percival.
This very interesting account gives a familiar insight into the
life of a Yankee sailor fifty to eighty years ago.
John Philip Turner Percival was born at Hanover, Mass.,
October 19, 1818. When eleven years of age he made his first
voyage as boy on the fishing schooner La Grange from Scituate,
Captain, Simeon Bates. He was allowed to take this trip by his
parents in the hope that he would be cured of his love for the sea
by the hardships of the voyage, but after the usual winter's schooling
of the Yankee boys of those days, we find him on the schooner
Henry Clay of Hingham, and during the season he held up his end
as a boy of twelve by catching 105 barrels of mackerel, and the
next season the same vessel had him as a member of her crew.
In 1832 he sailed under Captain John Nye, of Hingham, in the
schooner Mary. In 1*833 ne makes his first voyage from Cohasset
in the schooner Myra, Henry Snow, Jr., Captain, and A. H. Tower,
owner. In the winter of 1834 in the schooner Billow, Captain
Samuel Webb, he sailed from Scituate to Quincy, where a cargo of
stone was taken on board for New York.
The young sailor notes with curiosity the railway built to convey
the stones from the quarry to the wharf, the first of its kind in
America. After unloading the stone in New York, a cargo was
taken on for Richmond, Va. In the summer he again became a
member of the Myra's crew.
In the winter of 1835 he took another Southern coasting trip in
the Billow, and in the summer sailed again from Cohasset in the
fishing schooner Bela Bates, A. H. Tower, owner, Captain, Nichols
Pratt.
In 1837, at the age of nineteen, he became Captain and one-
eighth owner of the fishing schooner Achsah, of which George
Lawrence of Cohasset owned the other seven-eighths. Having
gone as far as he could in the fishing industry, he went to Boston
and obtained the berth of mate in the bark Sarah and Esther,
Captain, Royal S. Higgins, for Gibraltar and Malaga. On his
return he signed with Captain Henry Vinal, of Scituate, in the
topsail schooner Ontario as mate. The first trip in this vessel was
CoJmssefs Deep Sea Captains. 573
to Galveston with a cargo of houses ready to be put together, and
these were the first houses erected on the island. During the
winter trading voyages were made between Galveston and New
Orleans.
In 1840 Mr. Percival shipped on board the new ship Palmyra
before the mast under Captain John Cushing, of Hanover. The
voyage was to Charleston, Mobile, Liverpool, and home, but at
Charleston he was promoted to the position of third mate, and on
arriving at Boston was made second mate, and in that capacity
made a voyage to New Orleans and back. He was then made
first mate of the bark Gulnare, still under Captain Cushing, and
made three annual voyages with him to Havana, St. Petersburg,
Bordeaux, and New Orleans.
In 1844 he sailed on the bark Juno as first mate under Captain
John W. Dicks for Havana, St. Petersburg, Wiborg, Bordeaux,
New Orleans, Trieste, and Smyrna. On his arrival in Boston in
August, 1845, he gave up his position and was married to Miss
Drusilla Snow, daughter of Captain Ephraim Snow, of Cohasset.
In September, 1845, ne sailed as mate of the ship Niobe to New
Orleans and return. In the fall of 1846 he took command of the
schooner Joshua Bates, of Cohasset, owned by Captain Ephraim
Snow and others, for a trading voyage in the Gulf of Mexico,
touching at Galveston, New Orleans, Havana, Mobile, and Apa-
lachicola, a very successful trip both for owners and captain. On
this voyage he made one of the quickest trips on record, up to
that time, between Havana and New Orleans.
At the end of the fishing season in 1847 ne started out with the
new schooner Matilda, John Bates, owner, for a trading voyage on
the Gulf of Mexico, but on account of the dullness of the trade,
passed the winter in freighting between New Orleans and
Savannah.
In 1850 Captain Percival obtained the position of first mate
in the new ship Moses Wheeler, built by the celebrated ship-
builder Donald McKay, and commanded by James B. King.
In this vessel he made three voyages to New Orleans, thence to
Liverpool, and back to Boston in Enoch Train's line. On the
last of these voyages he received at Liverpool a letter from
Mr. John Bates, offering him the command of the bark Vesta, a
574 History of Cohasset.
vessel which had been wrecked on the Cohasset rocks, bought by
Mr. Bates, and repaired. He accepted this offer, but found when
he arrived in Boston a position awaiting him as captain of the
new bark Falcon, at $125 per month, which position he was
obliged to decline.
In the Vesta Captain Percival made successive voyages to
Porto Rico and back to Boston; to Marseilles and Messina,
thence to New York; from New York to New Orleans, thence to
Philadelphia; from Philadelphia to New Orleans and back to
Boston, where he arrived July 8, 1853. On July 25th of the
same year he left for Gibraltar, accompanied by his wife and his
infant son, arriving home in January, 1854.
In December of this year, the Vesta was chartered for a trad-
ing voyage along the west coast of Africa. On this voyage,
when off the coast of Africa, Captain Percival was stricken with
fever, and for a long time lay in a hut on shore, his life almost
despaired of by the rude natives, who were his only attendants, and
whose only method of cure was the beating of tom-toms. At length,
in spite of this soothing attention, he recovered sufficiently to be
placed on a mattress in an open boat and rowed down the coast
until he fell in with the Vesta, which had been trading up and
down the coast, and resumed command. This voyage was ter-
minated by the arrival of the Vesta in Boston, in the latter part of
June.
On the next voyage to Smyrna and Constantinople, the bark
was attacked in the Mediterranean by a crew of pirates who
were enabled by a calm to steal upon the Vesta in their felucca
and cast their grappling irons over the rail. The officers of the
Vesta, Gustavus Percival, brother of the Captain, and John L.
Pratt of Cohasset, were, however, on their guard and with the
crew were ready to meet them and beat them off. The grap-
pling iron, which was cut from its rope, hung for a long time in
the office of the owners of the vessel, Messrs. Trull Bros., who
had bought the Vesta and made Captain Percival their agent as
well as captain. The next voyage of the Vesta was made under
the command of Gustavus Percival, Captain Percival remaining
on shore to build the house on South Main Street, now occupied
by Mr. George Nickerson.

CohasseVs Deep Sea Captains. 575
In January, 1856, Captain Percival took command of the
Vesta once more, and made two more voyages to the Mediter-
ranean, on the latter of which he was accompanied by his wife
and two eldest daughters. On this voyage the Vesta encountered
so severe a storm outside Gibraltar that she was obliged to lie at
Malta six weeks for repairs.
These voyages were made during the Crimean War, and when
at the close of the war the owners had no further use for the vessel,
the Vesta was sold in Malta, together with two others of Trull
Bros.'* fleet, and Captain Percival and his family returned home
as passengers in the ship Pathfinder, arriving in July, 1858.
In August of the same year, having bought a quarter interest
in the bark Forest Belle, Captain Percival made a voyage to the
Cape of Good Hope, and in January, 1859, took a cargo of ice
to Savannah, where he loaded for Beyrout, Syria, with a cargo of
lumber, the Syrian Government having forbidden the cutting of
the cedars of Lebanon from the sides of the mountain. Captain
Percival was accompanied on this voyage by his wife and three
daughters. Syrian wool made the cargo for the voyage home.
In i860, in the same vessel, he made a voyage to Havana,
Cienfuegos, and back to Boston. His next voyage was to Liver-
pool, which was made in nineteen days, but he missed there the
fine sailing packet ships which visited this port in the forties and
early fifties, now crowded out by the steamships. At Liverpool a
cargo of coal was taken on for Genoa, at which port, after
encountering the most severe storm in the English Channel he
had ever experienced, Captain Percival arrived safely, whence he
sailed for Messina for a cargo of fruit, with which he arrived in
Boston.
In May, 1861, the Forest Belle took a cargo of sugar from
Boston to Antwerp, thence to Shields for a cargo of coal for Bar-
celona. On arrival at this port it was learned that the Confeder-
ate Privateer Sumter had been cruising off Gibraltar, capturing
and burning American merchantmen, making it impossible to
obtain a charter for any voyage which would necessitate passing
through the Straits of Gibraltar. The vessel was, therefore,
chartered to take a cargo of wheat from Alexandria to Mar-
seilles, but before leaving Barcelona the Sumter was reported
576 History of Cokasset.
cruising off Marseilles and Toulon. The voyage, however, was
made in safety, and the vessel arrived at Alexandria without
being sighted by the Sumter. At this port news of the Mason
and Slidell affair was received, and Captain Percival, for the
first time, had the uncomfortable experience which was the lot
of Yankee captains in European ports during the Civil War.
At that time the English captains in port at once declared war
and intimated to Captain Percival that he might, before reaching
home, be taken a captive and held under the paw of the British
Lion. At Marseilles the prospect was discouraging enough.
The Sumter was cruising off outside the port; a large part of
the English navy was lying in Gibraltar Bay, making a menacing
appearance, and no freight offered for an American vessel. The
only thing to do was to wait. The sails were unbent, put in
order, and stowed away, and everything was snugged up. Part
of the crew were discharged, and the rest, with the officers, sat
down to wait.
The freeing of Mason and Slidell and the arrest of the Sumter
by the Spanish Government put a new face on the matter, and
Captain Percival found it an easy matter to obtain a cargo of
fruit at Palermo for Boston. While lying in the Straits of Gib-
raltar, waiting for a change of wind, he had the satisfaction of
sailing around the Sumter, lying in Algeciras Bay, a captive of
the Spanish Government. The trip to Boston was made without
falling in with any Confederate vessels.
In seeking for a new charter for the Forest Belle it was found
that the old routes by which former voyages were made must be
abandoned on account of the activity of the Confederate pri-
vateers. Therefore the next and last voyage of Captain Percival
was to a part of the world never before visited by him — the
coast of China. On June 28, 1862, he set sail for the port of
Shanghai, where he arrived February 1, 1863. After unloading,
the ship was chartered for trading along the Chinese coast, and
in this trade Captain Percival remained until 1866, when he
returned home, leaving the Forest Belle in charge of Captain
Bryant, of Plympton. The vessel was afterwards sold in China,
and Captain Percival, giving up the calling which he had followed
for thirty-seven years, opened a drug store in Boston, in partner-

ship with his brother-in-law, Dr. French, under the firm name
of Percival & French. Mr. French's interest was soon after
bought out by Captain Percival, and the sign of J. P. T. Percival
on the corner of State and Washington Streets, later nearly
opposite, and finally on School Street as the City Hall Drug
Store, was a familiar one for nearly thirty years to many Boston
people, and particularly so to his old mercantile and seafaring
friends, especially those from Cohasset and other points on the
South Shore.
It could never be said of Captain Percival that the life of a
sailor made a stern or rough man of him, for he was uniformly
pleasant and gentle. He was devotedly attached to his family,
and found greatest pleasure in his voyages when accompanied
by his wife and children. His nature was such that he took
keen enjoyment in the strange places he visited abroad, thus
making of his voyages trips in search of pleasure and knowledge
as well as of business. With the first money which he was able
to save he bought and presented to his parents their homestead.
He was helpful also to his brothers in their seafaring life. The
old saying could be applied to him with truth, — a dutiful son, a
good brother, and a kind husband and father.
Captain Percival died in Boston, October 31, 1895.
Captain Joseph H. Smith was born in Portsmouth, England,
in 181 7, and when a young man was a sailor on the Queen's
yacht. The exact inducement which led him to settle in Cohasset
we do not know. In 1841 he paid hospital money at the port of
Cohasset as the captain of the schooner Triton. In 1845 he
interested Mr. Laban Souther to build with him the brig Almatia,
of 98 tons burden. While she was building, he and Mr. George
Lawrence made a trip to Virginia for a load of corn, and subse-
quently made another trip for a load of oysters for the Boston
market. The facilities for caring for a perishable commodity
in those days were few and imperfect compared with those of
to-day, nor was the capacity of Boston for this toothsome bivalve
anywhere near what it is now. Consequently when Captain Smith
and Mr. Lawrence arrived in Boston and found that another
schooner had just brought in a load of oysters, they saw that their
578 History of C okas set.
venture was a total loss. They consequently sailed for Cohasset,
and at a point between Whitehead and the entrance to the Cove
threw the cargo overboard, where the shells could be seen for
years afterward lying on the bottom.
In a short time after the Almatia was built Captain Smith was
able to buy Mr. Souther's interest, and made thirty-seven trips
in her to Curacoa. The Almatia later, while under the command
of Captain Merritt, of Scituate, was wrecked on Cape Cod.
Captain Smith then bought, in 1852, the full-rigged brig George
Otis, and sold her in France. The next vessel which he com-
manded, and of which he owned a quarter, was the 283-ton bark
Martha Allen, built at Scituate in 1^49, which he sold in Smyrna.
He then bought the 453-ton ship Sarah, in which he made
several voyages. On one of his voyages he found himself at
Buenos Ayres, unable to obtain a cargo home. He therefore
went to Turks Island for a load of salt, and while there bought
at a bargain two brigs, which had been washed ashore by a
tidal wave. On his return to Cohasset he succeeded in interest-
ing Mr. Isaac Hall in the project, and they fitted out the Sarah,
manned by a crew of Cohasset men, returned to Turks Island,
got the brigs off, and brought them to Boston.
These brigs were named the Mungo Park and the River Belle.
Captain Smith commanded one, Isaac Hall the other, and Joe
Ware the Sarah.
The next voyage of the Sarah was to Charleston, S. C, under
the command of Captain Henry Merritt, where she was to load
for France, but off Cape Hatteras the vessel took fire and was a
total loss. The crew, of which George H. Smith, the captain's
son, was one, escaped in boats and were picked up and taken
into Savannah.
In 1856 Captain Smith took command of the bark Quincy,
built at Quincy, and owned by John T. Shattuck, in which he
made a voyage to Curacoa and back with Christopher Collier as
mate. Under the date of May 7, 1857, appears the record in the
Register of the Boston Custom House of the 473-ton bark
Almatia, owned by James Gould and Joseph Young, and built
by William Hall of Boston, Joseph H. Smith, captain. The
only bark Almatia of which George H. Smith has any recollection,

with which his father had any connection, was built at about
that time of about that tonnage, but was built at Scituate by the
Briggs Brothers, and owned by Captain Smith and A. H. Tower.
George Smith and D. N. Tower, young boys then, went down to
the launching. Mr. C. A. Cousens had the contract for making
her sails, which was his first contract.
The Almatia was sold as soon as she was loaded, and Captain
Smith never sailed as her master. From " Shipbuilding on the
North River," by L. Vernon Briggs, we quote, " The last vessel
built by Sylvester and Barnabas Briggs was the bark Eveline,
650 tons, for Captain Joseph H. Smith, of Cohasset. She was
begun February 10, 1859. She made a remarkably quick passage
on her first trip, arriving at her port two days before she was due."
He next owned and sailed, in i860, the 922-ton ship Rockland,
in which he made a number of voyages to New Orleans, and sold
her in London. At this time the War of the Rebellion was in
progress, and Captain Smith obtained a government contract to
clean the bottoms of vessels at Port Royal, S. C, and stayed there
two years or more, his son, George, being with him.
At the close of the war he took command for the firm of F. Nick-
erson & Company the 671-ton steamer Aurora. The Aurora was
bought from the United States Government, and was formerly
called the Itasca. This vessel Captain Smith sold in Callao to
the Peruvian Government. This was his last voyage. After his
retirement from sea, he acted as Underwriter's Agent for the
Boston Insurance Company.
Captain Smith united with good seamanship an unusual
capacity for business, which enabled him to take advantage of
opportunities offering which other captains would have failed to,
see.
He died in Cohasset, December 28, 1879.
Jacob Flint Bates was born in Cohasset, August 8, 1822, in
the house now owned by his niece, Mrs. Nathan Manasse. His,
paternal grandfather, Samuel Bates, was lost in his schooner off
the Rocks outside Cohasset harbor, and his maternal grandfather,
Nathaniel Nichols, known as "Captain Than," was at one time
captain of a revenue cutter.
580 History of Cohasset.
After learning the carpenter's trade in Boston and trying for a
few months to become an apothecary, he took up the calling which
was to be his through life, and which has drawn so many Cohasset
boys away from trades and shops — the calling of a sailor.
Probably his first deep sea voyage was made in the bark Hobart
early in 1842, when under the command of Captain James Collier
she made a trip from New York to Charleston, Bordeaux, New
Orleans, and back to New York.
In October of the same year he again shipped on the Hobart for
a voyage to South America, but as has already been told in the
life of Captain James Collier, did not get back to New York until
1847, when he returned as first mate of the Hobart. It must have
been hard for these Cohasset boys on their arrival in New York
to find that their return to Cohasset was to be deferred for a short
time. The famine in Ireland called for provisions and the Hobart
was chartered to carry a cargo to the sufferers in that stricken
country. On his return to Cohasset he married, in December,
1847, Caroline Lothrop Bates. The next year he served as first
mate on the brig Monserrat under the command of his brother-in-
law, Captain Collier, on a voyage from New York to Porto Rico
and return.
At the completion of this voyage he took command of the brig
Allen King, plying between New York and ports in South America.
On one of these voyages in 1850 he was accompanied by his wife
and infant daughter. In 185 1 the Allen King was wrecked on a
coral reef off the coast of Balize. No blame attached to the
captain of the brig for this disaster, as the reef lay further off
shore than was represented on the map, and the absence of
breakers prevented discovery of the danger lurking beneath the
calm surface of the ocean. No lives were lost, and the passengers
and crew were safely landed at Balize.
The next command of Captain Bates was the William Alden,
in which he sailed in the same trade between New York and Balize
until 1857, when he took command of the bark Honduras, a new
vessel built for him under his supervision on East River, New York.
In this vessel Captain Bates was a large shareholder. For ten
years he commanded the Honduras, making voyages to Balize,
Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, and other South American ports,

stopping often at the West Indies for a return cargo. During a
part of this time the War of the Rebellion was going on, and all
the vigilance of Captain Bates was necessary to prevent the
Honduras from falling into the hands of the Confederate privateers.
From 1861 to 1863 Captain Bates remained on shore cultivating
the farm he had bought at Hempstead, Long Island, where his
two younger daughters were born.
In 1870 Captain Bates, like so many other natives of Cohasset,
returned to the home of his birth and established his family in the
house on South Main Street, which was his home until his death.
His next command was the bark James L. Pender gast, in which
vessel he sailed for eleven years, making voyages between America
and Europe. Not all of these voyages were over untroubled seas,
for in the possession of the family of Captain Bates is a picture of
the Pender gast, depicted riding the mountainous waves with only
the foresails set. This picture was executed in Havre by an
artist who followed the description by Captain Bates of the storm
which threatened to engulf the Pender gast. No wonder that the
thoughts of Captain Bates reverted to the sad fate of his boyhood
shipmate, Captain James Hall, as his vessel scudded before the gale.
In 1881 the Pendergast made a trip to Capetown, thence across
the Indian Ocean to Java, from there to Singapore, and thence
home. At the completion of this long voyage Captain Bates
took a summer's rest at his Cohasset home.
In the fall of 1882 he took on a new command, the bark Thomas
Fletcher, and sailed November 9th to England, but on the return
voyage encountered such terrific gales in the English Channel that
he was obliged to put in to Falmouth with all the masts sprung and
one gone by the board. On his return to New York he sailed for
Brunswick, Georgia, where he loaded with lumber for Buenos
Ayres, and from this city, which had been one of the first foreign
ports he had visited as a young man, and which had been his goal
for so many voyages since, he sailed back and forth several times
to Montreal and Quebec, or to Brunswick, Georgia.
On the 20th of August, 1885, the Thomas Fletcher sailed from
Quebec on what proved to be her last voyage, her destination
Buenos Ayres. After eighty-seven days of slow sailing she had
come to within about eight hundred miles of her destination, when
582 History of Cohasset.
a violent gale with heavy seas sprang up, and the deck load began
to slip into the ocean as the Fletcher put her sail under water.
Soon the straining of the vessel opened her seams, and the crew
were put to the pumps. Still the water gained and at midnight
had broken into the cabin from below, when the attempt to keep
the waterlogged vessel clear by pumping was given up.
In rapid succession the log book describes the throwing over-
board of the remaining deck-load, the bursting open of the seams
of the deck, the carrying away of the lee pin-rail and bulwarks, the
houses on deck nearly full of water and commencing to break up,
provisions and wearing apparel spoiled, soaked and washed away,
the water tanks below deck covered with sea water, and the one
on deck only protected from the constant surge of the waves by
the small portion of the deck load kept for that purpose, sails set
to steady the vessel, only to be blown to ribbons.
For twelve days the Thomas Fletcher, now little more than a
water-logged hulk, drifted toward her destination, the boats in
readiness to be launched at the first sign of her breaking up, the
masts still standing, but the axes handy in case it should be
necessary to cut some of them away to keep the bark afloat, all
hands anxiously on the lookout for a sail. At length, twelve days
after the first gale had struck her, the Thomas Fletcher limped into
the harbor of Montevideo, still one hundred miles from the city
of Buenos Ayres. With the help of a tug this voyage was made
at the rate of five miles per day, until on December 21, 1885, four
months from the day she left Quebec, a period longer than is
sometimes taken for the voyage round the Horn to San Francisco,
the Fletcher tied up at the wharf of Buenos Ayres and began to
unload the cargo of water-soaked lumber which she had carried in
her hold so many weary days.
After unloading, the bark was condemned as unseaworthy, and
sold at auction. No doubt the feeling in Captain Bates's mind
was something akin to that of David Harum's in regard to his
balky horse when he remarked, "The' was times when if he'd
a fell down dead, I wouldn't hev figgered on puttin' a band on my
hat."
June 17, 1886, Captain Bates arrived in Cohasset, anticipating
that he had made his last voyage. But his old bark, the James L.
Cohassefs Deep Sea Captains. 583
Pendergast, was at New York, and her owners, E. D. Morgan & Co.,
commissioned Captain Bates to fit her out for a trip to France.
When the bark was ready for sea, Captain Bates could not resist
the temptation of making one more trip as her master. So on
August 11, 1887, he sailed from New York on his last voyage.
The voyage was to Rouen, France, thence to Georgia, from
Georgia to South America, and back home to New York, where on
the nth of October, 1888, he ended forty-four years of seagoing.
If Captain Bates possessed one characteristic which distinguished
him from other men of his calling, it was his gentleness. The
discipline on board the vessels he commanded, which was excellent,
was obtained by courteous and kind treatment. He was so tender-
hearted that he could not bear to see suffering, even in animals,
and on one occasion laid his vessel to to pick up a cat which had
fallen overboard. Much of his life had been spent in the Spanish
ports of Europe and South America, and by study he became
master of the Spanish language.
While in the ports and cities of France he turned his attention
to the language of that country, and attained to some proficiency
in it. His spare time on board ship was spent in the perusal of
good literature, and his mind was singularly well stored with
information gained by the improvement of these leisure hours.
His capacity for enjoying the strange sights of the foreign cities
he visited was immense, and his only regret was in the fact that he
did not have the members of his family with him to share his
pleasure. On many occasions when his voyages brought him into
South American ports he found the yellow fever raging there, but
he was singularly immune to this disease, as much probably from
his correct habits of life and careful manner of living as from
anything peculiar in his constitution. He was ever ready to act
as attendant to members of his crew or countrymen stricken with
this disease in a foreign land, nursing them back to life or com-
forting their last moments on earth with his soothing ministrations.
He died at his home in Cohasset in the year 1898, one to whom
the words of Shakespeare may fitly be applied, — " His life was
gentle and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand
up and say to all the world, 'This was a man.'"
As has been said early in this chapter, there were three Cohasset
584 History of Cohasset.
boys on the clipper ship Storm King, making their first voyage on
a new ship. These were John Hall, Ezekiel Marshall, and
Samuel P. Bates. The first of these was the cousin of the
captain, and his father, Samuel Hall, had been a captain of fishing
and coasting vessels.
During the War of the Rebellion, John Hall served in the navy,
and at the expiration of his term served as mate on steamers plying
between Valparaiso and Panama. He finally became captain of
one of these steamers.
Ezekiel Marshall early in life went to the Pacific coast of the
United States, where he arose to be captain of a vessel, but finally
entered the lumber business.
Samuel P. Bates, a nephew of the captain of the Storm King,
remained with him after the voyage in the Storm King was com-
pleted, and rose through the grades from boy to ordinary seaman,
thence to able seaman, finally becoming first officer of theTecumseh,
North America, and Pharos; he also served under Captain John
Warren Bates on the Flying Eagle.
His first command was the schooner M. A. Snow, owned by
Ephraim Snow, of Cohasset, which he took from Boston to San
Francisco. On this voyage, off the coast of Chili, he took a crew
from their shipwrecked vessel and carried them into Valparaiso.
In spite of this detention the trip was made from Boston to San
Francisco in 140 days, which for so small a vessel, about 100 tons,
was a very good passage.
After arriving on the Pacific coast, Captain Bates made his
home there, entering the employ of J. W. Ralston & Co., of San
Francisco, trading between that port and Bellingham Bay. He
also made voyages to Australia and China, commanding various
ships, among them, it is said, being the old Amethyst, in which his
townsman, Joseph Willcut, had sailed a half century before.
During his lifetime he visited nearly all the important ports of the
world, and his voyages were made without any serious accident.
Captain Bates, like many men who have traveled far and seen
much, was of a quiet, unassuming disposition, making friends
both at home and abroad. By his integrity and straightforward-
ness he won the esteem and confidence of his employers, who
valued him not less as a friend than as an employee. In 1884 he
<;

retired from the sea and spent the 'last years of his life in Cohasset,
where he died June 10, 1908, the last of Cohasset's deep sea
captains residing in the town.
Captain Harrison P. Snow, now living at Nantasket, is the
last survivor of Cohasset's deep sea captains. His father was
Captain Ephraim Snow, who owned a fleet of fishing schooners,
having a wharf on the northerly side of the Cove. This business
was later transferred to East Boston.
Captain Snow made his first voyage as captain in the year 1863,
when he took the 132-ton schooner, the H. N. Ruggles, from
Boston to Valparaiso, thence to San Francisco, where he sold her
and came home. This vessel was owned, one-eighth by Harrison
P. Snow, three-eighths by Ephraim Snow, one-eighth by Calvin
Merriam of Cohasset, and three-eighths by Bela F. Jacobs of
South Scituate.
The bark Ethan Allen was then bought, and for four years
Captain Snow commanded her in voyages to Honolulu, San
Francisco, China, and Australia. In 187 1 he returned to Cohasset,
and for a few years remained on shore. He then sailed in the
fruit trade between Philadelphia and the West Indies in the
schooner White Wing and the steamer Gulnare.
In 1879 he went as first mate on the ship Highland Light from
New York to Japan and return. In 1882 he gave up the sea
altogether, and since that time has been with the Nantasket Beach
Steamboat Company as Wharf Agent.
In addition to the 135 vessels mentioned in the "Narrative History
of Cohasset" as having been built in Cohasset, we append a list
of other vessels built there, which have been found by the writer
of this chapter in turning over every leaf in the registers at the
Boston Custom House from the year 1806 to 1870.

Cohasset1 s Deep Sea Captains. 587
This, of course, gives the names only of such vessels as were
registered for deep sea voyages, as the author was searching pri-
marily for deep sea captains and vessels. The enrollment book
of the Port of Cohasset, if it could be found (and it is probably
stowed away in some attic), might furnish other names. There
would doubtless be found the enrollment of the bark Hobart,
June 10, 1840, there also the enrollment of the ship Grand Turk.
In regard to the latter vessel there seems to be a mystery which
cannot be fathomed.
The diary of Joel Willcutt has these two entries, " 1829, Feb-
ruary 5, the ship Grand Turk launched this day." " February 8,
the new ship went to Boston." But she is neither enrolled nor
registered in Boston, nor does the register of the Port of Salem
bear her name, although two other Grand Turks were built for
E. H. Derby of that city, one of them, built in 1781, hailing from
the " South Shore."
Possibly the owner of the Cohasset Grand Turk, on making appli-
cation for a register, found there was already a ship afloat under
that name and took the name of the Hellespont, which ship,
hailing from Cohasset, was registered in Boston in April of the same ,
year. But this is only surmise.
The registers of the Boston Custom House from 1789 to 1806
are in Washington, and there seems no probability of their ever
being returned. These registers probably contain the names of
other vessels built at Cohasset. At this point the author wishes
to express his appreciation of the labor of the Rev. E. Victor Bige-
low in collecting his data on ship building in Cohasset for the
Narrative History, an appreciation formed by going painfully
over the same ground.
The author is indebted to Mr. John Robinson, of the Marine

It seems strange that no vessel launched from Cohasset was
given the name of the town from which it hailed, but the ship
Conohasset is the only namesake of Cohasset built in Cohasset.
The registry of the Boston Custom House has a 63-ton schooner
built in Boston in 1835 named Coliasset, and owned by James
Huckins and Horace Scudder.
The author lets this chapter go from his hands with a feeling of
satisfaction that at this late day and with limited time at his com-
mand, he has been able to get so much, but with a deep feeling
of regret that he was able to obtain so little concerning so many
of Cohasset's deep sea captains.

WRECKS, WRECKING AND LIFE SAVING IN
COHASSET.
By Oliver H. Howe.
The Narrative History of Cohasset has mentioned a few of the
wrecks which occurred off Cohasset, and has given full particu-
lars of the notable wreck of the emigrant ship St. John in 1849.
The following account of some additional disasters with inciden-
tal life-saving and salvage of property may be of interest. The
earliest records obtainable are in the diary of Joel Willcutt. (See
page 478 of this volume.) These quaint entries show the close
sympathy of the people of this sea-faring town with disasters of
this kind. With Christian services they buried many of the dead
and if the tale could be written of those wounded and frost-bitten
who were nursed and cared for in Cohasset homes and sent on
their way rejoicing, it would make a long chapter. The following
entries in Mr Willcutt's diary have been copied verbatim.

Further testimony to the heroism of Cohasset men is found in
the records of the Humane Society of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (instituted 1785). A few items gleaned from the
reports of this Society are as follows.

Probably some other names in the Society's record belong to
Cohasset, but those only are mentioned that can be identified.
Some other awards are mentioned later in this chapter in connec-
tion with the services rendered.
About 1830 the schooner Rosebud (probably running as a packet
between New York and Boston) was wrecked on Bassing Beach.
The cargo was saved by Cohasset men, and the vessel is said to
have been only slightly damaged.
On April 12, 1831 the schooner Boston was wrecked on Chest
Ledge. The captain, named Webber had lashed himself to the
mast and when the schooner struck he tried to get free to help
save the vessel. Just as he became free he was washed over-
board by a heavy sea and drowned. Owing to the prompt exer-
tions of George W.k Collier and others from the shore, all the crew
were saved. Mr Collier saw the wreck from his home (the old
Collier house at North Scituate Beach). Hastening to Cohasset
he collected a crew of seven men, who, carrying a boat across
Bassing Beach, went to the rescue of the shipwrecked sailors.
For this brave work the Mass. Humane Society gave gold medals
to George W. Collier and seven others. Six of the others are said
to be Capt. John Barker, John Lothrop, Lewis Willcutt, Samuel
Stockbridge, Joseph Briggs and probably James Collier. Some are
said to have received $10. in preference to the medal.
At about 1840 the Swedish brig Copenhagen struck on the Sea
Ledges, badly injuring her bottom. The rising tide and heavy
sea drove her over the ledge, and she shortly after grounded on
Brush Island. She was loaded with hemp and with Russian crash
and duck, and Cohasset men were hard at work unloading her
while people of all ages were busy along the shore "fishing up the
crash." The tale is told that when the bales of hemp were exam-
ined by the Custom House officer and compared with the bill-of-
t//L<y/ur^ cy^z^^y
Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 593
lading, only one bale was missing. It is said that later a Cohasset
fisherman grappled and raised the last bale, and that the Custom
House officials remarked: "How honest these Cohasset men are!"
In the spring of 1843 the schooner Maine struck on the ledges
near Pleasant Beach, and went to pieces. As she broke up, a
large portion of the quarter-deck, with three men clinging to it, was
carried by the sea close to the rock in the middle of Pleasant Beach.
The men jumped upon the rock and were safe, and the next instant
the wreckage glided out from under them and was dashed to
kindling wood against the ledges on what is now the Kimball
property. The vessel was loaded with shoes, and many of the
people obtained a long supply of foot gear from the beaches. In
November, 1843, the brig Melazo struck on East Shag rock and
drifted to between Gull and Shepard's ledges. Her cargo of sugar
in boxes was saved by Cohasset men, and the vessel was also
saved.
Perhaps the most notable work of wrecking by Cohasset men
was in connection with the ship Alabama. On the night before
Thanksgiving in 1847 she struck on Minots Ledge where the light-
house was later erected, and drifted about two miles to the east-
ward, where she sank in ninety feet of water. Her topgallant
masts are said to have been visible above the water, but in the
following February they disappeared as the vessel broke open.
Some of the cabin fittings came ashore at White Head. Capt.
George Hall is said to have re-discovered the locality of the wreck
by noticing a peculiar yellow appearance in the water. The
Alabama was a large ship for those days, and had sailed from
Liverpool for Boston with a very valuable assorted cargo, con-
sisting of china and crockery ware, tools, cutlery, railroad iron,
chains of various kinds and sizes, and carpets, shawls, and other
fabrics.
In early summer a number of Cohasset men under the lead of
Capt. Nichols Tower, who was Underwriter's Agent and wrecking
master, formed a company and made elaborate preparations to
save the cargo. They secured the schooner Anaconda and had a
particular form of tongs made at the blacksmith shop of Mr.
Prentiss at the Cove (in the building later used for a store by
Mr. Caleb F. Nichols). The wreck was too deep for work by
594 History of Cohasset.
diving operations, but a diver in a suit was sent down to recon-
noitre. He found the vessel broken open and some crockery
dishes strewn upon the bottom. By means of the tongs, crates of
crockery ware could be caught and brought to the surface with
their contents uninjured. Cutlery and chains were found packed
in casks. Tools of various kinds were secured in abundance, and
all the carpenters in town were provided with fine new saws. A
curious and almost incredible statement is made that polished
tools and cutlery exposed to the action of salt water at that depth
did not rust, because away from the air, but that they would
immediately begin to rust as soon as laid upon the deck. Many
families were supplied with crockery; and plates, bowls, and tea-
pots from the Alabama can be found in Cohasset to-day. The
ladies secured some of the shawls, but on wearing them some
mischievous boy was apt to cry out: "Alabama!" and their popu-
larity as an outside wrap suddenly declined.
The tongs used were of several patterns and sizes, and varied in
length from two to eight feet. They had strong, sharp jaws, and
were so constructed that their weight kept them open. A special
line or chain closed the jaws when desired, and they could then be
drawn up with their prize. The tongs were also used for breaking
apart portions of the wreck to get at the cargo. The Cohasset
men worked upon this wreck for three summers, securing a very
valuable amount of merchandise. The whole undertaking is one
of great enterprise and skill and must have been difficult from
the great depth of the water. The locality was known to fisher-
men as the "Alabama ground" for many years.
On Feb. 5, 1849, at 4 a.m., in a driving northeast snowstorm,
the ship Jennie Lind, loaded with cotton, was wrecked on North
Scituate Beach, abreast of the old Collier house. To show the
great trials of some of these navigators, the captain of this ship
said that he "had been in Boston bay for nine days and had not in
that time seen the sun, moon or stars." The crew were safely
landed and the cotton unloaded, after which, by dint of great
exertion for seventeen days and the use of oil-casks, the vessel was
floated and saved. In all this work, as well as that on another
cotton ship named Dublin, which was also saved, Cohasset men
took the leading part, and the cotton was teamed to Cohasset,

mostly with oxen, and shipped by the newly-opened South Shore
Railroad.
On October 3, 1851, the bark Vesta, Captain Flynn (the ves-
sel being only two years old), loaded with coal, struck the back
of Gull Ledge. Cohasset men discharged the cargo, and she
was brought in and beached on the point now owned by Mr.
C. W. Barron. John Bates of Cohasset bought her, but she was
later sold, and made some long voyages under Captain Percival,
on one of which she had John L. Pratt, as second mate, and
Daniel Bray Lincoln, Nathaniel W. Treat, and John Murphy,
all of Cohasset, as seamen. Later she sailed under a foreign
flag, and is said to have been still afloat near the end of the cen-
tury.
On April 8, 1852, the brig Mantel of Belfast, Me., Captain
Staples, was wrecked on East Hogshead Ledge, and all hands
were lost. Her spars came ashore on Sandy Beach, and the
bodies of the crew were found inside Brush Island. She was
loaded with turpentine and hides from Darien, Ga.
On January 29, 1853, the bark Maryland, Captain Davis,
was caught in a hurricane, and her crew could not reef topsails
quickly enough to prevent their being torn to ribbons. She came
alongside the light-ship, then stationed at Minots, and tried to
anchor. Failing in this, she struck the north side of Gull Ledge,
and drifted into Briggs Harbor, where she was beached. She
had an assorted cargo from Baltimore, which was unloaded by
Cohasset men, under Captain Daniel Lothrop. The cargo was
carried by lighters to the inner side of White Head, whence it
was conveyed to Boston by packets. The bark was successfully
floated and repaired.
On January 19, 1857, a very destructive storm wrecked two
fine vessels upon our shore in one day. The first was the bark
New Empire (briefly referred to in "Narrative History of Cohasset,"
p. 473). She was loaded with cotton, and wrecked about 300
feet from White Head. The rescue of her crew is notable for
ingenuity and bravery. The sea was covered with broken and
treacherous ice, of the kind known as "porridge," making it
impracticable to use a boat and unsafe to attempt to walk upon
it. A Cohasset man, named Peter Falcon, walked to the wreck
596 History of Cohasset.
by stepping upon two oblong rubber life-preservers, which he
moved forward alternately as he proceeded over the broken ice.
In this way he brought a sounding line to the shore, by means
of which finally a hawser was carried across. A skiff was then
pulled over the ice, and later a dory. Twelve men from the
shore were thus drawn out to the wreck to haul the lines and
render other assistance. The crew were all saved, including one
with a broken leg and another with a dislocated shoulder. They
were all taken to the house of John J. Lothrop, at Sandy Cove*.
As the snow was very deep and the roads impassible, our life-
savers next turned their attention to rescuing Dr. Foster, who
was trying to reach the injured men, but became buried in a
snowdrift. They dug out his horse, and unhitching him from
the shafts, drew the sleigh themselves for the last half mile.
For the courageous work in rescuing the crew of the New
Empire the Massachusetts Humane Society gave Peter Falcon a
silver medal and $10, and a bronze medal to each of the following:
Isaac Pratt, Henry Collier, Nathaniel W. Treat, Alexander Litch-
field, M. B. Stetson, Loring Bates, and L. Jenkins. The New
Empire was saved and re-fitted.
It would seem that our Cohasset life-savers might well have
been exhausted after this severe experience, but new work
awaited them, for the same evening the ship California had
struck on Black Ledge and had pounded heavily during the
night. Three men on board had taken refuge on the ledge,
which is a quarter of a mile from shore. The California had
parted chains and drifted from Gloucester, where she was dis-
charging cargo, and the men on board were not the crew, but
ship-keepers. As soon as morning light came to their aid, our
Cohasset men must hurry to Kimball's point to save the three
men who were in peril. The same "porridge" confronted them
here, and they came hastily, even without lines to assist them.
Quickly seizing a dory and being unable to walk on the field ice,
a number of men, by sprawling on their hands and knees, were

our present summer residents.

able to push and pull the dory to the ledge. They then assisted
the three men into the boat and attempted to return to the shore
in the same manner. When hardly more than 100 feet from the
ledge, the dory settled through the ice so badly that the men
could no longer move her.
In the meantime a skiff, manned by Nathaniel W. Treat,
Thomas Tower, and a Mr. Leighton had been pushed out from
Kimball's Point to within 50 feet of the dory, and had passed a
line to the latter. The skiff formed a foothold from which to
pull upon the dory. While this was in progress, men on the shore
had laid hold of a pile of spruce floor boards which had come
ashore from the deck-load of some schooner, and by stretching
these upon the ice, men were able to walk out upon them, carry-
ing the rope of the fire-engine which had been hastily brought
from the village. Time had been precious, for the field ice was
already moving down the shore with the outgoing tide, but two
hundred willing hands on the beach soon drew both boats ashore
with their living freight. The frost-bitten men were cared for
at the house of Mr. Peter C. Kimball. That Cohasset men
could save every life exposed in the wrecks of these two vessels,
in zero weather, testifies to their pluck and bravery. Dr. Foster's
sleigh was again pulled by men to the relief of these frost bitten
seamen : this time being drawn over the ice, across Little Harbor.
The cold was so extreme at this time that no salt water was
visible from the highest rocks, and the lightship anchored two
miles or more to the northeast of Minots Ledge was completely
surrounded with ice.
For services in saving men on the California the Massachusetts
Humane Society gave "certificates" to Peter C. Kimball and
Patrick Sullivan, and $2 each to the following: Aaron Pratt,
Manuel Antoine, Loring Bates, Nathaniel W. Treat, Charles
Studley, Warren Bates, Cornelius Lincoln, Frederick Tower,
Frank Antoine, Samuel Groce, Joseph Chadbourn, Frederick
Torrey, David Stoddard, Lincoln Jenkins, James Edwards,
James Pettee, William Doane, and John Powers.
These grim perils were not without their pleasantries, for as
soon as the lives were saved, some attention must be paid to the
cargo. As this ship was loaded with gin and sugar it was con-
598 History of Cohasset.
sidered by some to be very attractive. Peter Falcon, the sure-
footed, was returning from the ledge with a gallon bottle of gin
under his arm, when one foot slumped through the ice and crack
went his bottle, saving only a pint in the bottom. How to get
this pint safely ashore was the problem — one which he solved
by promptly drinking it. Some men who did not break their
bottles didn't get home at all that night. The next day the town
turned out to save the sugar, and brought it home in tubs, kegs,
bags, pillow cases, and even stocking legs. They had enough to
sweeten them for a long time.
On April 15, 1857, the bark Nueces, from Galveston, for
Boston, with a cargo of cotton, hides, and pecan nuts, came into
the bay during a snowstorm, and made the Minot Ledge light-
ship. The captain, supposing it to be Thatcher's Island lights,
shaped his course accordingly for Boston Light, which course
carried him to the south of Black Rocks. Seeing his mistake, he
came to anchor, but the anchor not holding, he cut away his
masts and the bark slowly kedged in upon the shore about
the center of Green Hill. The crew, with three lady passengers,
were landed safely with the help of the townspeople. Part of the
cargo was saved by rolling it over Green Hill, and the remainder
was loaded upon lighters. Capt. Joseph H. Smith of Cohasset
discharged the cargo by contract. After about two weeks the bark
was floated with the aid of the steamer R. B. Forbes, and taken to
Boston for repairs. It was in rescuing this crew that Captain
Frederick Tower of Cohasset nearly lost his life. Fastening a
rope about his waist he plunged into the surf and carried it to
the bark, but in doing so, narrowly escaped being crushed
between the vessel's side and a huge boulder. This boulder
remains by Green Hill now and is said to have been pushed to
its present position by the vessel. A hawser was then drawn
across and made fast at the top of Green Hill. Passengers and
crew were then saved by lashing each into an arm-chair, and
drawing it along the hawser to the top of the hill.
On Jan. 6, 1858 the ship Serampur struck a ledge off Pleasanf
Beach. The crew were saved in a lifeboat. The cargo was an
assorted one from New Orleans, consisting of flour, whiskey, syrup,
hides, and lead. The flour came handy for many of the towns-
Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 599
people, especially as the underwriters valued it at only $4 a
barrel, although flour was then selling for $8. A citizen could
buy a barrel he had saved by payment of $2. There are rumors
of barrels of whiskey being carefully buried in the beaches for
future use. The eagle which for many years has ornamented
the front of Independence fire-engine house came from the stern
of the Serampur.
On January 28, 1859, the ship Roebuck, commanded by Cap-
tain Soule of Hingham, loaded with cotton from New Orleans
was wrecked on the "West Willies." She lay there a week, and
while being unloaded, a storm came and broke her to pieces.
Many bales of her cotton were chewed up as she ground
on the ledges, so that all the neighboring shores were covered
with white cotton, washed up like seaweed. Many sunken bales
were raised by grapples, and about 100 bales came ashore whole.
All (even the loose cotton) was disposed of at good salvage (40
per cent).
On March 3, 1862, the brig Lincoln of Chelsea (only two years
old) struck alongside the lighthouse at 4 a.m., and split in two.
She was loaded with 240 tons of coal from Hoboken. Cohasset
men recovered the coal from the sea bottom. As she split open
her American ensign floated out upon the water. One of the
wrecking party tried to grasp it, but remarked that it would be
recovered later. Singularly, after four weeks it was found in
Sandy Cove. On the same night the brig Marcia, also coal-
laden, went ashore back of the Glades House, and another brig
was wrecked at Cedar Point, Scituate. All three of these ves-
sels were consigned to one firm, and all were wrecked within a
space of three hours.
On January 16, 1865, the brig Dawn of Day, of St. John, N. B.,
from Turk's Island, loaded with salt, struck first on Shepard's
Ledge, and later on the big rock in the middle of Sandy Cove,
and rapidly went to pieces, but the crew were saved.
In 1868 the steamer Tripoli, in a thick fog, ran upon the " East
Willies," and her bow became wedged in the rocks. With the
rising tide and with assistance of tugs she backed off and
proceeded.
On March 2, 1868, the schooner Nathaniel G. Clark, loaded
600 History of Cohasset.
with cotton, hides, and rosin, from Charleston, S. C, anchored
outside the light in a northeast gale and snowstorm, and slipping
her anchors, drifted inside the "West Willies," and later inside the
Hazards, and struck on the rocks. She had a crew of five men
and one passenger, a young boy. Singularly, the boy was the
only one saved from the wreck. When the vessel struck, the
boy, following the example of the crew, climbed into the rigging.
Looking down, he saw an old sailor taking refuge in the bow,
under the slight shelter known to mariners as the "top gallant
forecastle." The boy reasoned that this aged man was experi-
enced, and knew the safest place, so he climbed down and joined
him. As the ship pounded on the rocks the sailors in the rigging
were "slatted" off and drowned, while those in the bow were safe.
The old man ventured out too soon, however, and met his death
as a mighty wave boarded the vessel. The boy remained in his
place of safety until rescued. The vessel was a total loss.
On March 20, 1873, the bark Josephine, loaded with hides
and wool, was wrecked on North Scituate Beach. The crew
were saved, but the vessel was a total loss.
On March 12, 1878, the schooner Volante (a packet running
between Eastport and Boston), loaded with herring and turnips,
having anchored under the lee of Black Ledge, parted chains,
and in a fresh north wind and snowstorm struck the rocks on
Beach Island, about 200 feet west of the present breakwater.
Her crew ran out on the bowsprit, jumped ashore, and took
refuge in the cottage of Mr. Cutter. This happened at about
the time of the celebrated "walking match," in the Town Hall
and our Cohasset men, turning from one excitement to another,
came down to unload the cargo. Those first arriving carried
their goods to a convenient place on Beach Island and returned
to the vessel for more, while another gang mysteriously loaded
the booty upon a wagon and took it to Cohasset. The second
gang had the easier time, and in the hurry and bustle were not
discovered for some time.
On August 29, 1886, the bark Joseph A. Ropes, with a valuable
cargo from Zanzibar, Africa, went ashore in a thick fog on a bar
about half a mile west of the Sea Ledges, but was only slightly
damaged and was pulled off in a day or two and proceeded to
Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 60 1
Boston. This vessel was totally wrecked five years later on the
shore of Madagascar.
I am indebted for the materials of almost all the foregoing
account to Mr. Nathaniel W. Treat. Further information and
suggestions have been obtained of Mr. Caleb F. Nichols, Mr.
William E. Crocker, Mr. Henry H. Sylvester, Mr. George R.
Howe, and Miss Joanna N. Collier.
The violent storm of November 25 to 28, 1888, appears to
have brought disaster along our shore to a greater number of
vessels, whose names can be identified, than any other of which
we have record. Between Scituate harbor and Boston, no less
than fifteen vessels were wrecked. The storm was of unusual
violence and duration, and the wind reached a velocity of 60
miles an hour. The wrecks at Scituate were the schooner
Edward H. Norton, with loss of fifteen lives, at the First Cliff,
and the schooner J. and J. Locke, at the Sand Hills. At Cohasset
the fishing schooner Stella Lee of Portland, Maine, 80 tons burden,
came ashore at Bassing Beach, having been blown out of
Gloucester Harbor by the violence of the wind. She was not
injured and was floated in safety.
The schooner Sasanoa, of and for Bath, in ballast, also parted
her chains in Gloucester Harbor; her crew escaped to another
vessel, and she came ashore at Pleasant Beach, and was landed
high and dry. She was of 79 tons, built in 187 1, and remained
on the beach for several years as a picturesque landmark until
unfortunately set on fire and burned. The Sasanoa had a num-
ber of times brought coal to Cohasset.
The most melancholy disaster in our vicinity was that of the
steam collier Allentown, which undoubtedly foundered off Cohasset
with all on board. Large quantities of her wreckage came ashore
on all our beaches. The Allentown was built in Philadelphia, in
1873. She was 250 feet long, and had capacity for 1650 tons of
coal. She was owned by the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road, and with her were lost eighteen lives.
Although only the three wrecks just named occurred on the
Cohasset shore, six vessels met disaster on the shore of Hull.
Their names are as follows : Schooner H. C. Higginson, on rocks
below Atlantic House; schooner Mattie E. Eaton, on beach a short
602 History of Cohasset.
distance north of the last; the abandoned British brigantine
Alice, at Kenberna, and schooners Cox and Green, Gertrude Abbott,
and Bertha F. Walker, off Hull, near Toddy Rocks. These six
wrecks made strenuous work for the men of the Hull and North
Scituate Life-saving Stations, and some Cohasset men added their
services. (See "Narrative History of Cohasset," p. 482.) Twenty-
eight lives were rescued from these wrecks in Hull.
Besides the wrecks already mentioned, two vessels were driven
ashore in Quincy, one at Spectacle Island, and one at Winthrop,
by this storm, making, as stated, fifteen vessels between Scituate
and Boston. It is a curious coincidence that the great gale of
1898 occurred almost precisely ten years later than the one just
described. On March 9, 1890, the schooner Lucy D. Windsor of
Duxbury was capsized and sunk by a squall off Chest Ledge.
The crew of six were found hanging to the bottoms of dories, and
were saved by D. P. Sylvester and his son, Irving. For this act
they received silver medals from the Mass. Humane Society.
For an account of the wrecks in the 1898 gale see chapter in
this volume, page 604.
On Sunday afternoon, September 9, 1900, the steamer John
Endicott, returning from Plymouth, struck a rock in the Gangway
Passage inside Minots Light, and was beached on the bar con-
necting Gull and Shepard's ledges. No lives were lost. Per-
sistent attempts were made by wreckers to save the vessel, and
she was for a time beached on the flats near White Head. Later
she was sunk in 80 feet of water outside Boston Light while being
towed to Boston. A further attempt to raise her was frustrated
by a storm, and portions of the boat came ashore in Cohasset at
Cuba Dam. She was an old boat, built in 1863, and originally
named the Stamford.
It will be noticed that the John Endicott constitutes the only
wreck off Cohasset in the past ten years. This immunity is, no
doubt due to the great increase in steam navigation and to the
establishment of Boston Lightship, in 1894. The building of
Minots light was a considerable aid to navigation, but it directed
the course of vessels too near the dangerous Cohasset rocks, and
ships passing around Minots in safety might still be driven upon
the ledges by a violent " Northeaster." Boston Lightship, in the
Wrecks, Wrecking and Life Saving in Cohasset. 603
middle of the bay, with plenty of deep water all around, makes
a far safer mark to steer for, and its powerful fog whistle is a
much better signal in thick weather than the fog bell of the light-
house. The new entrance to Boston Harbor, with its powerful
first-order lighthouse at the Graves, will altogether change the
course of the larger vessels as they pass Cohasset. All this makes
for safety, and it may be, let us hope, that the painful series of
wrecks on our shore will never be repeated.
Enough has been recited to show the cruel nature of our rocks
and ledges in time of storm, and also to prove the sturdy quality
of our Cohasset men. Born and reared by the sea, they know
her moods and dare to breast her dangers. The fact that the
vessel was saved and repaired in eleven out of twenty-six wrecks
near Cohasset enumerated in this chapter, testifies to the aid
rendered from the shore. Would that every "rock-bound coast"
had as brave and noble a band of life-savers!
THE GREAT GALE OF NOVEMBER 27, 1898,
IN COHASSET.
By OLIVER H. HOWE.
The great storm of November 27, 1898, was by far the most
destructive one that has visited this coast within the memory of
man. A vast amount of damage was done along the New England
coast and the steamer Portland was lost with all on board.
The only storm to be compared with it was the famous "Light-
house Gale" of 185 1. A comparison of the height of tide in the
two storms may be of interest. In the "old paint shop" on the
wharf near Tower's store there is an old mark with the date 1851
against it, showing the height of the tide in that great storm.
Mr. Edwin Souther has made a mark in the same building for
this storm 28f inches above the floor and 13 inches higher than
the mark of 185 1. A mark of 185 1 in the old "salt- house"
on the other side of the Cove has been leveled across and just
reaches the sill of the fire-department hose-house at the head of the
Cove. The water in the 1898 storm rose still higher and put out
the fire in a stove in the hose-house, thus corroborating the marks
previously mentioned.*
To make a permanent record of the height of the tide in the
1898 storm, the writer had levels taken by Mr. Daniel N. Tower,
surveyor, and copper bolts inserted in the rock in three different
places. The levels were taken from a mark in the boat-building
shop of Arthur O. Higgins on Margin Street and from a mark made
by the writer on the "old sail loft" on the afternoon of the storm.
The large doors of Mr. Higgins' shop had been broken in by the
sea, and the level of the water was accurately recorded by the fact
* Careful surveys and comparisons show that the coast of Massachusetts is
subsiding at the rate of about one foot in a century. As 47 years intervened
between these two storms, the difference of 13 inches may be, in part, accounted
for. Making proper deduction for subsidence, the tide in the 1898 gale would
be seven and three eighths inches higher than in its predecessor. For interesting
proofs of subsidence at many points along the shore, see Mass. Report of the
Committee on Charles River Dam (1903) pp. 529-572.

that a quantity of varnish floated on the water in the shop and
left its mark everywhere. The copper bolts were inserted in the
following places: 1. In a ledge on Border Street near the "Village
Guildhall" and nearly opposite the fire-hose houses; 2. On
Border Street a short distance beyond the house of James Brennock ;
3. In the vertical escarpment of the rock of " Government Island"
next the "Gulf Stream." The latter locality is within the tide
gate, but the level mentioned is intended to represent the level of
the tide in Cohasset harbor.
On account of the development of our shore, there was in 1898
much more property to be injured. The two causes of injury were
the terrible gale and the very high tide. The force of the wind was
shown by the great number of trees prostrated. All the woodland,
even that situated several miles from the shore, suffered severely.
Many pieces of pine woodland had half the trees uprooted. A
few trees had their trunks snapped off midway. The sawmills
and some portable mills in Norwell were kept very busy during
the winter and spring in disposing of fallen trees and were then
unable to work them all up. The uprooting of trees was facili-
tated by the facts that there was no frost in the ground at the
time and that the foliage of the pines was loaded with snow.
Another evidence of the extreme force of the wind was the fact
that many weather vanes were carried away or broken. In some
cases the iron rod supporting the vane was bent at an angle by the
wind. Maximum velocity of wind in Boston, 72 miles an hour.
The streets of the town were all impassable because of snow and
of branches of trees and whole trees blown done across them to
an extent never before seen by the writer. The electric-light poles
and wires were sadly disarranged. Many poles were prostrated
and the wires were in many instances hanging low or trailing on
the ground. The snow had frozen on the wires, making them
two or three inches in diameter, and their great weight when thus
encumbered led to a large share of their disaster.
A very noticeable feature of the storm was its sudden onset and
short duration. The afternoon of the 26th (Saturday) was
cloudy and somewhat chilly, but not otherwise unpleasant. At
6 p.m. the writer rode a bicycle from Gannett's Corner to Cohasset
and was not troubled by wind or any other circumstance. Later
606 History of Cohasset.
in the evening it began to snow. At 10 p.m. two young men rode
their bicycles from Warren Bates' boarding house beyond Steep
Rocks on Jerusalem Road to their home by Cohasset Common.
They said the wind was becoming severe and there were about two
inches of slush on the ground, but they were able to ride their
wheels. Between then and midnight the storm broke out in all
its fury, and houses in the village were shaken and rocked to an
unusual degree. High tide occurred at 10.40 a.m. and the main
violence and damage of the storm took place before noon on
Sunday. It will be seen that the main fury of the storm was
confined to a little more than twelve hours — a marked contrast
to its predecessor, the Lighthouse storm, which gathered its
fury during three days of violent east wind. In our 1898 storm
it was feared by many that the night tide would rise still higher
and greatly increase the damage, but such did not prove to be the
case. The 1898 storm differed from its predecessor in not occur-
ring at high-course tides. The high level to which the water rose
was probably due to the force of the east wind in driving the water
in. The barometer in the 1898 gale was extremely low, 28.7.
The greatest damage to houses along the shore occurred at the Sand
Hills in Scituate, at Nantasket Beach and the vicinity of Gun
Rock, and at North Scituate Beach. Cohasset summer cottages
were too well founded to receive much damage. The injury
to beaches and shore roads in Cohasset was considerable, and a
somewhat systematic account of the damage done on the Cohasset
shore may be of interest.
Beginning near the easterly part of our shore, the most perma-
nent damage was done to Bassing Beach. For many years past
this beach has been used by a number of Cohasset men for the
purpose of bleaching and drying Irish moss. For the men thus
engaged, mossing has furnished a continuous occupation for the
summer. The beach before the storm had upon it twenty-two
small buildings, most of them being used for the storing of moss,
but several served for temporary dwellings of the mossers and two
were used as gunning shanties. The storm moved or demolished
all these buildings but one, and lowered the beach a good deal,
making it less suitable for mossing purposes. The buildings and
their debris were stranded along the southerly side of Bailey's
5 o

Creek, one or two being carried nearly to Border Street. Fortu-
nately all the mossers but two had sold their moss earlier in the
fall, so most of the buildings were empty. Two men, Cornelius
Murphy and Thomas Dunn, were staying at their shanties on the
beach. As the tide rose and surrounded the buildings, each took
refuge upon the roof and was carried some distance in that manner.
One jumped into a boat which was drifting by and thus reached
the shore. The other leaped upon a rock in midstream and was
rescued by a man from the shore in a boat. No loss of life occurred
in Cohasset on account of this storm and no bodies floated ashore.
In Scituate, at the Sand Hills, a woman was drowned while
attempting to escape from a cottage, and four young men camping
upon an island in North River were drowned. At the culvert on
Border Street beyond Government Island the railings on both sides
of the street were carried away by floating debris, and the water
was about six feet deep over the road. The railings between Gulf
bridge and Tower's wharf were also carried away. Tower
Brothers' lumber wharf suffered great damage, the lumber stored on
their various wharves being floated off, strewn upon Border Street,
lodged at different places about Cohasset harbor, and some of it
carried under the Gulf bridge and stranded at different points up
Gulf River; some of these points being quite distant.
All of Border St. west of Gulf bridge was under water and was
made impassable for horses by being thickly strewn with lumber,
fence posts, and other debris, which was in places piled three feet
high. Several boats, including one sail-boat, were left in the middle
of the road. The level of the water against Tower's building,
known as the "old sail loft," was 33% inches above the street.
The high-water line on this and other buildings is beautifully
shown on the accompanying photograph which was taken from a
point looking east. The buildings, beginning at the left hand, are :
the old sail loft, Tower Brothers' store, Tower Brothers' coal shed.
Beyond the latter is seen the wreck of the schooner Daylight, to be
referred to later. The foundations of the old sail loft were laid in
the form of a mainsail, so that sails of that shape could be con-
veniently laid out upon the floor.
The driveways and open spaces on the wharves were in similar
condition to the street, and the buildings and wharves were some-
608 History of Cohasset.
what damaged. The greater part of Snow Place was under water.
Also South Main St. near the Catholic Church, the water over the
road in the latter locality being too deep for high rubber boots.
The well of Capt. Henry Collier became salt and was unfit for use
for a number of weeks. Part of Summer St. between Snow Place
and the Cove was under water. The triangular common at the
Cove was all under water, as well as all the streets bordering the
Cove; all of Margin St. except the hill near its beginning;, all of
Stockbridge St. except the hill near its further end and all the
easterly part of Atlantic Ave. In Tilden's blacksmith shop the
water was 16 inches deep over the floor. It was up to the upper
surfaces of the window sills of the small house at the corner of
Stockbridge and Margin Sts., level with the sills of Walter Spear's
house on Stockbridge St. At the head of the Cove the water
after rising to the level of the road fell in a cascade into the
meadow beyond, destroying sidewalk, retaining wall, and adjacent
platforms.
The piling supporting Caleb F. Nichols' store was somewhat
damaged and the water rose to the window sills of the building.
Mr. Nichols' stock of groceries was not injured at all, owing to his
prudent custom of keeping all goods above the level of the counter.
At high tide men were traversing the streets about the Cove in
rowboats. Many small yachts had been laid up for the winter
about the shores of the Cove, some, like the Zulu owned by Mr.
William Hanlon, being securely lodged in the meadow adjoining
Margin St. All these boats, and others anchored in the Cove,
were set adrift and, by colliding with each other and with the shore,
suffered serious injury and were landed in very strange places.
The Zulu, a large sloop, was left close against the highway between
the hook and ladder house and near Caleb F. Nichols' store. This
boat was not injured, however.
The Daylight, a schooner of 10.25 gross tonnage, owned by
Joseph Jason and used by him in taking out pleasure parties, was
anchored in the Cove, but was beached by the storm at the landing
just beyond Tower Brothers' coal shed. She had some holes stove
in her besides being otherwise damaged and was carried partly into
the highway. She was considered a complete wreck, was stripped
of her rigging and her hull was sawed up for firewood, April 7,
The Great Gale of November 2j, 1898, in Cohasset. 609
1899. The condition of her planking and timbers when taken
apart showed that she went out of service none too soon for safety.
She was built in Bristol, R.I., in 1877.
The water poured through the depression between Atlantic Ave.
and Stockbridge St., making an island of all beyond. It also
isolated the Lawrence Barrett house, occupied by Mr. C. W.
Barron. In Mr. Barron's stable it rose so high about the horses'
legs that they had to be removed to a place of safety.
Beyond Bourne's corner the water was level with the tops of the
stone walls, and beyond the next corner on Margin St. it floated off
long sections of the wooden capping from the walls. In James
Sweeney's house at the Cove a large stick of timber passed into a
front basement window and passed out through a rear one. The
family were taken out of the upper windows and rescued in a boat.
At Sandy Cove the water was very high, reaching far inland,
around and between the cottages. It covered Atlantic Ave. quite
deeply in front of Nathaniel W. Treat's house and near Mr. Fox's
driveway. The seas began to break over the Sandy Cove beach and
into the meadow as early as 7.30 a.m., which was three hours before
high tide. The water was level with the floor of Rev. James Reed's
piazza.
In the Mohawk Valley it poured across the highway, washing
away the sides of the road. Roads of this kind are injured in these
storms by a double cascade action, being cut down on the landward
side while the water is rising. When the tide turns the cascade is
in the other direction, cutting down the seaward side and leaving
a narrow strip of the road intact in the middle. If the cascade
action is sufficiently prolonged, this strip will also disappear, making
a complete breach several feet in depth. On Beach St. the tin roof
of the L of Mr. James H. Nichols' house was torn off and thrown
like a balloon across the street.
At Cunningham's bridge the water was over the road on both
sides of the bridge and covered quite an area of the lawn of Mr. B.
Preston Clark with driftwood. One of the most thrilling events of
the storm was the wreck of the fishing schooner Juniata at the
breakwater, Beach Island, and the miraculous escape of her crew.
This vessel had left the " Georges" fishing grounds and was return-
ing to Boston, hastening somewhat to escape the threatening storm.
610 History of Cohasset.
She was overtaken by the full violence of the gale in the middle of
the bay and one sail after another torn to ribbons. She then
anchored, but her chains parted under the fearful violence of the
sea. Her captain then headed south, hoping to find calmer water in
the lee of the ledges. The captain and 17 men all had to take
refuge in the rigging. The vessel, after striking on some outlying
rocks and later grazing Brush Island, struck plump broadside
against the wooden breakwater on Beach Island. The men were
able to step off upon the breakwater, but the captain was knocked
off the breakwater into the water and was saved only by his vigorous
swimming. AH were saved and effecting an entrance into
Mr. Nicholas Sheldon's cottage nearby, made a fire and got the
first warmth and comfort they had had for many hours. The
vessel struck the breakwater at about 4.30 a.m., which was the hour
of low tide. The facts that she drew 10 feet of water and that she
landed on rocks which are perfectly bare at low tide confirm the
opinion of Cohasset mariners that during that night the tide did
not ebb at all but kept coming in higher and higher under the force
of the wind. As the tide rose, the seas lifted the Juniata clean over
the breakwater and landed her high up on the beach and close to
Mr. Sheldon's piazza. The vessel was of beautiful model, only
six months old, 78 tons, 100 ft. over all, 23 ft. beam, and 10 ft. hold.
Her captain was Robert M. Corey, who owned one-quarter of her.
A full account of the vessel and wreck was written by Rev. E. Victor
Bigelow and published in the Boston Herald (evening edition)
November 28, 1898. The writer is indebted to this account for the
foregoing facts. The accompanying photograph shows the wreck
of the Juniata.
The Juniata was sold at public auction early in December to a
Mr. Burke of Scituate for $680. A building mover was employed
to raise her out of the sand and move her to the lower part of fhe
beach, after which, at 12 noon on Feb. 25, 1899, she was success-
fully launched into the breakwater, triumphantly passed out
through the opening and, in tow of a tug, was taken to Gloucester
to be repaired and refitted.
The escape of this vessel and crew is a very marvelous event.
Had the vessel struck one hundred feet to one side or the other •
from the breakwater she would have encountered savage rocks
The Great Gale of November 27, 1898, in Cohasset. 611
and been dashed to pieces. The breakwater was as safe as a
wharf, but it suffered much damage itself and had most of its
planking removed from the portion where the vessel struck it.
The sea swept savagely across Sandy Beach, washing away a
portion of the highway, especially upon the back side, and cover-
ing other portions of the road with three or four feet of beach
pebbles. The pranks played with the bath-houses are somewhat
interesting. All the latter that were fastened down were either
demolished beyond recovery or had their front and back walls
completely smashed and were then partly buried in beach stones.
Those bath-houses that were not fastened down floated for very
considerable distances, often with little or no injury. Many
of them reposed among the shrubbery along the shores of Little
Harbor or were left insecurely perched like erratic bowlders upon
projecting ledges of the shore, while a few reached the garden of
Mr. Charles S. Bates near the head of the Common, being landed
high up, within a few rods of North Main St.
Passing over the bluff occupied by the Kimball property and
down the slight hill to the beach, we found the beautiful macadam-
ized road and its high retaining wall on the south side reduced to a
state of chaos. The sea had made wide breaches through it,
washing it out to the depth of five or six feet, and we found only
irregular hillocks of gravel and wastes of beach stones, impassable
for all except pedestrians. The Massachusetts Humane Society's
boat-house and the old boat-house adjoining it were both canted
down from their supports. The new barn and boat-storage house of
Mr. Matthew Luce was also undermined and canted. Mr. Luce's
club-house, which stands in an exposed situation on the beach, was
uninjured, probably owing to its being raised up on posts, with
good opportunity for the sea to sweep underneath it. The small
one-story house that had for many years stood high up on the beach
was moved from its location, turned half-way round, and had
some of its walls demolished. It was a complete wreck and was
soon taken down. .
The house formerly occupied by the late John Roche, which
stood upon the southerly side of Atlantic Avenue, was standing
during the Lighthouse storm. It was in this house that Mrs.
Peter Kimball took refuge during that storm, and she was removed
6 12 History of Cohasset.
from it in a boat, as the water rose high about it. Although
uninjured in that storm it was not so fortunate in this one, as it
was moved about fifteen feet off its foundation and turned partly
round. Mr. Aldrich, who was in his cottage at the time, said that
the Roche house was moved round a number of times and that he
could one minute see the front door and the next minute could not.
The water rose in the house a foot higher than the window-sills
and reached a point 4 ft. 8 in. above the ground. An outbuilding
measuring 10 ft. by 14 ft. and used as a woodshed and hen-house
was carried by the water to Cat Dam. The Roche house was
torn down about the middle of May, 1899. Thus perished an old
landmark of the shore and the former abode of two very estimable
people. Its foundation stones have been gathered into a cairn
upon which nasturtiums gracefully climb.
The highway in the vicinity of the Roche house was covered by
a bank of sand about five feet deep. At Pleasant Beach we saw
abundant signs of the storm's havoc with the shipping, for the
beach presented the appearance of a large lumber yard. Ship
timbers of all sizes were strewn in profusion, most of them being
of clean hard pine, showing that fine new vessels were unable
to cope with the storm's fury. These big sticks were soon appro-
priated by our citizens, and some of them were used to build a
breakwater at Pleasant Beach. The volume of water and wreck-
age pouring over Cat Dam broke down both railings and damaged
the road. The causeway near S^eep Rocks had the tide to the
tops of the fences, and it reached the level of the sill of the house
owned by Mr. Edward Wheelwright, and occupied by his coach-
man, James Sweeney, at the foot of Steep Rocks.
Piazzas of the cottages of Hon. H. H. Coolidge and William
Faxon, Jr., were destroyed. A chimney was blown over on the
house of Matthew Luce, and the cottage of G. D. Braman had its
tin roof blown off. The stable of the Pitkin cottage was under-
mined and canted down toward the sea. A small stone building
on the small valley beach near the Black Rock House had its roof
partly detached by force of wind and wave. The rear piazzas of
the Black Rock House were damaged.
The beach extending from Jerusalem Road to Green Hill
suffered a breach of about 75 feet in width. It was covered with
The Great Gale of November 27, 1898, in Cohasset. 613
all kinds of wreckage and encumbered with the masts, keel, and
several large portions of the hull of a coal barge that was wrecked
on Black Rock. One of the masts now forms the lower section
of Mr. Thomas W. Lawson's flagstaff at the John Bryant place.
This coal barge, after striking on Black Rock, careened, so that
the mast rested on the island. The crew climbed to the island
by following the mast and were brought ashore by the Hull Life-
Saving Crew. Many coal barges are said to have foundered
in Massachusetts Bay during this storm, and the masts of two
unknown schooners were found sticking up near the entrance of
Cohasset harbor.
A great deal of wreckage was swept into Straits Pond, covering
the ice for large areas, and lodged along its shores. A small one-
story building was carried to the further end of Straits Pond and
remained standing in the water near Nantasket post office for
some time until it was burned.
All our beaches were made more steep, much of the material
being carried over to the back side, leaving the beaches less able
to cope with future storms and less able to protect the roads they
bear. Undoubtedly the storms of a century have robbed Cohasset
of some land area. Mr. James Pettee informed me that many
years ago he cultivated a good-sized vegetable garden back of the
Black Rock House, between it and the sea. He also said that on
the northerly side of Jerusalem Road, between the Black Rock
House and the beach leading to Green Hill, there was a field which
produced hay and which was large enough for a hay wagon to turn
round upon without difficulty. The condition of the latter place is
now such that one more great storm might easily destroy a portion
of the highway. (These references to the Black Rock House relate
to the old hotel which formerly stood close to Jerusalem Road a
little east of its intersection with Forest Ave.)
The winter of 1898-9 was also remarkable for a great snow
storm. Snow had been falling pretty steadily for two days, when,
on the 13th of February, the storm redoubled in fury and the rate
of snowfall greatly increased. The result when the sky cleared
on the morning of the 14th was that every road in town was blocked;
so much so that all the streets in the center of the town had to be
shoveled out by hand. Three places in town showed by measure-
614 History of Cohasset.
ment drifts eight feet deep, viz. : Sohier's hill, Sohier St. near top
of Deer Hill, and Jerusalem Road near Mr. Wadleigh's cottage.
It was nearly noon on Feb. 15, thirty-six hours after the storm
cleared off, before a sleigh could pass from Depot Court to the
North End at junction of Jerusalem Road. The railroad was
impassable from Monday noon until 7 p.m. Tuesday. The snow
was so deep on a level that a man residing by Cohasset Common
tried to drive out in his sleigh, but in attempting to cross the
Common, back of the Unitarian Church, got so badly stuck that
he had to back out and return home. The oldest residents said
they had never seen the roads more encumbered with snow, and
the great storm of 1867 is probably the only recent one with which
this of February, 1899, could be compared. The beach leading to
Green Hill was covered with ice five to eight feet in thickness.
This fact together with the frozen condition of the beach itself
undoubtedly prevented further ravages by the sea.
The winter of 1903-4 was notable for its long term of continu-
ous sleighing. It began to snow on the day after Christmas, and
it was good sleighing on all the roads until Town Meeting Day
(March 7), a period of ten weeks. Such winters are now com-
mon in the inland and northern portions of New England, and
are said to have been common here in " old times," but it seems
that the one just mentioned is the only one of the kind experi-
enced in Cohasset for thirty or forty years.
A SHORT HISTORY OF ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH.
By REV. HOWARD KEY BARTOW.
The parish of St. Stephen's began with the first service held in
The Grand Army Hall June 4, 1893. From this venture there
have resulted the thriving congregation and the gothic stone church
which crowns the rocks in the center of the town.
The first rector, or as he preferred to be called, preacher, was the
Rev. Charles Ferguson, who assumed charge of the parish
April 26, 1893, and after two years he was succeeded in 1895,
by the Rev. J. B. Thomas who ministered to the parish until
1898. A short period, less than a year, elapsed between his leaving
and the calling of a new rector. This time was covered by the
Rev. James Woods, who acted as locum tenens until the arrival
of the Rev. Milo H. Gates, who resigned the parish at Ipswich to
become rector June 1, 1898. The active history of the parish
begins with Mr. Gates, for through his efforts the parish life was
centered in the beautitul gothic church, with its modern parish
house.
The corner stone was laid by Bishop Lawrence, Friday,
December 8, 1899, in the presence of the rector, vestry, visiting
clergy, and townspeople. Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson of Boston,
were the architects. Following the perpendicular gothic style, they
created a dignified, stately edifice, and their design was splendidly
carried out by the contractors, L. D. Willcutt & Son. The work-
men were almost all Cohasset men. The church was consecrated
in June, 1900, by Bishop Lawrence, with the tower of the church
uncompleted.
Mr. Gates left Cohasset January 1, 1904, to assume the rector-
ship of a New York City church, after he had completed the
building of the parish house, which was a memorial gift, and he was
succeeded by the Rev. H. K. Bartow, the present rector, February
14, 1904. The tower of the church was begun January, 1906, and
dedicated by the bishop September 30, 1906. This, like the
church building proper, was the result of general subscription
among the congregation.
The seven memorial stained glass windows in the church are the

work of Mr. Harry E. Goodhue of Cambridge, and were given
in memory of various persons, — a vestryman, a choir boy, one of
the laborers on the church, and relatives of members of the
congregation.
Several gifts made to the church are of interest as being historical.
The alms bason the gift of Mrs. Thomas Richardson, is very
old and came from Italy; the shaft of the baptismal font was
given through Mr. Gates, by the rector, the Rev. A. C. W. Upcher,
and parish of St. Andrew's Church, Hingham, England, and was
the original font of that ancient parish. It is badly marred, and is
supposed to have been broken by the soldiers of Cromwell when
so many churches in England were despoiled. The font has
been restored practically as it was originally. The ancestors of
Abraham Lincoln, as well as of all the early settlers of this town
and Hingham, were baptized in the font of which this shaft was a
part. The corner stone of the church was the doorstep of the old
center schoolhouse, which afterwards became the Grand Army
Hall, where the first services of this church were held. This door-
step was used for those associations and because the grandfather
of the contractor, Mr. L. D. Willcutt, labored on the construction
of the original building. The two alms boxes, on either side of
the entrance under the tower, are both very old. That on the left
was an original alms box and came from Nuremberg; the other
has been converted to the present use from an old "strong" box
brought from the Continent, and is the gift of Mr. E. B. Townsend.

THE POPE MEMORIAL CHURCH.
By REV. CECIL HARPER.
The Pope Memorial Church was built in 1890 as a memorial
to Charles Linder Pope, who died April 21, 1898, in the seven-
teenth year of his age.
The church, erected by his parents Colonel and Mrs. Albert A.
Pope, is situated at the opening of Jerusalem Road, near West's
Corner, fronted by a broad lawn and looking up Strait's Pond
toward the Black Rock. It is built in gothic style, of seam-faced
Quincy granite, trimmed with gray, and roofed with red tile. It
has a large open tower, containing a rich tenor bell. The seating
capacity of the church is about two hundred and forty, and of
the vestry sixty. The walls are tinted green, and the ceiling a
cream, with exposed rafters. The church contains a finely
voiced pipe organ. Music is made a feature of the service, and
many distinguished vocalists are heard each year.
The church is undenominational, and has no creed. Its
mission is to deepen the spirit of universal brotherhood, and
over the organ in letters of gold is inscribed the text
"Love to God: Love to Man."
It is attended by persons of all denominations — in the summer
by cottagers and guests at the various hotels; in the winter by
the permanent residents.
The pastor, Rev. Cecil Harper, has been in charge from the
beginning. There is a prosperous Sunday school connected
with the church. It is supported by voluntary contributions
and by an annual fair.

THE PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY.
By REV. WILLIAM R. COLE.
In the Narrative History of Cohasset, by the Rev. E. Victor
Bigelow, there is to be found (pp. 518 to 522) the story of how the
library began as an institution and its development into a public
library of the town, in the year 1879, as the Cohasset Free Public
Library. Within twenty years from that date, it had become
apparent that the quarters it occupied on the first floor of the Town
Hall were inadequate and outgrown. Fortunately the need of the
library and the hopes of its friends were answered by the bequest
of Miss Harriot Eustis Pratt.
Miss Harriot Eustis Pratt was the daughter of Paul Pratt, who
was born in Cohasset May 17, 1788, and died in Cohasset August
31, 1853. At his death he left a modest fortune to his daughters,
Sarah S. and Harriot E., which, through wise management and
shrewd investment by their trustees and the simple, careful living
of the sisters, increased materially. The sisters had from the
start been interested and active in the library work. Miss Sarah
was one of the original trustees of the Cohasset Free Public Library
and continued in that office until her death in 1896. Miss Harriot
died April 19, 1898, and her will, probated May 18, 1898, founded
the Paul Pratt Memorial Library. Her will directed that one-half
of her estate, not including certain real estate amounting to a little
more than forty thousand dollars, should be paid over to the
chairman of the Selectmen of Cohasset, to the pastor of the First
Parish Church in Cohasset and to the pastor of the Second Con-
gregational Church in Cohasset for the time being; and to Randolph
Knapp and James Longley and to two others to be chosen by these
five, who should constitute a board of trustees for the purpose of
establishing and maintaining a public library in the town of
Cohasset to be known as the Paul Pratt Memorial Library. The
will also directed that the three officials should always be members,
ex officio, of the Board of Trustees; that this board should make
reasonable regulations for the establishment and maintenance of
618
The Paul Pratt Memorial Library. 619
the library by incorporation or otherwise, and provide for the per-
petual care thereof; and that the largest possible liberty and dis-
cretion in the use of such literary and social means as should tend
to the accomplishment of the purpose of the bequest, be conferred
upon them and their successors in the trust. Aside from the
ex officio members any vacancy which arises in the board is to be
filled by the vote of the remaining members.
Owing to the claim of an adopted niece and consequent litiga-
tion, there intervened a delay of nearly two years before the trustees
could organize.
The first meeting of the trustees of the Paul Pratt Memorial
Library was held in the Selectmen's room in the Town Hall, Feb-
ruary 3, 1900. In accordance with the authority granted to them,
Philander Bates, chairman of the Selectmen of Cohasset, William
R. Cole, pastor of the First Parish Church in Cohasset, E. Victor
Bigelow, pastor of the Second Congregational Church in Cohasset,
and James Longley of Boston, chose Samuel T. Snow of
Cohasset in the place of Randolph Knapp, deceased, and these
five chose Charles A. Welch and Abraham H. Tower, both of
Cohasset.
The board organized with the following officers: President,
Samuel T. Snow; Treasurer, James Longley; and Clerk, William-
R. Cole. In the following month they organized under the laws
of the state as a corporation ; the trustees became directors and the
same officers were elected. There have been changes in the board
occasioned by the change of pastors in the Second Congregational
Church, Rev. Charles W. Merriam taking the place of Rev. E. V.
Bigelow in 1901 and the Rev. F. B. McAllister that of Mr. Merriam
in 1904; and by the deaths of Samuel T. Snow in 1901, of Abraham
H. Tower in 1904 and of Charles A. Welch in 1908, whose places
were filled in order by Charles C. Wheelwright, Edward Nichols
and George W. Collier, all of Cohasset.
The first business the board found under the bequest awaiting
them, was the location and erection of a building. The beginning
of this task was made possible by the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
T. Snow of the piece of land on South Main Street where the
library now stands. Mr. Edward Nichols was selected as the
architect, and the construction of the building was begun in April,
620 History of Cohasset.
1902, and finished in December of the same year. As the building
approached completion, the question of bringing the two libraries,
the Cohasset Free Public Library and the Paul Pratt Memorial
Library, into cooperation and union, pressed more and more upon
the attention and thought of the trustees and the townspeople.
The directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library were restrained
by the terms of the trust from surrendering the position of regu-
lating and supervising everything in the library, but there was the
town library with its trustees and books. Good sense, business
economy and destiny demanded that the two should be as one. It
was simply brought about. The two boards agreed between them-
selves to an arrangement, whereby the two libraries could work
together without friction and with the common purpose of giving to
the people of Cohasset, the best possible collection of books with
large liberty of use, in a comfortable building modernly equipped.
The agreement was presented to the Town Meeting, March, 1903,
and met with the approval of the citizens. Its duration was for the
term of three years and has since been renewed for a like length of
time. By this agreement, the directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial
Library have exclusive control of the management of the library,
their own funds and the town appropriation. The trustees of
the Cohasset Free Public Library have entire control of the
funds of that library and the interest from the same. All books
bought from their funds and from the town appropriation are
marked with the name of the Cohasset Free Public Library.
The two boards are represented on the book committee, and thus all
books are purchased with the joint voice and authority of the two
boards.
Another important matter in the library's history was effected
by the directors. It was the remodeling of the library after the
best types of such institutions, a complete change in method of cata-
loguing of books and the making of regulations for the greatest
freedom to the borrowers possible under a wise control.
All these problems were met and solved, and the library was
opened to the public on July 13, 1903, with certain simple dedica-
tory exercises.
The five years of joint history of the libraries have been years of
steady improvement and growth. Many improvements in the way
The Paul Pratt Memorial Library. 621
of the public's comfort in the building and its use of the books have
been made.
For the children, a department has been made in the north
room, where their books are stacked, their periodicals gathered
and their own tables and chairs arranged for their use.
The number of books has in these five years been nearly doubled,
and those who use the library have greatly increased in number
since the days of the badly ventilated and lighted room in the Town
Hall.
To each of the libraries bequests or gifts have been made : under
the wills of Miss Susannah L. Stoddard and Mrs. Henry M.
Knowles, the Cohasset Free Public Library; by that of Mrs. Edward
Wheelwright, the Paul Pratt Memorial Library became beneficia-
ries. At the time of the opening of the library, Mr. Charles A.
Welch, one of the directors, gave three thousand dollars to be used
for the purchase of books for the Paul Pratt Memorial Library.
It was a most opportune gift, as it enabled the management to
strengthen the library in many weak places.
In bringing the story of the library up to date (1908) a just pride
may be taken in the interest and labor of all who first undertook
the work and in the excellent result achieved by the money, the
thought and devotion of the people of Cohasset. Its future as an
institution is assured among us. Its power as an effective agent
for good should be as great as is its opportunity.
Description of Building by the Architect,
Edward Nichols.
The Paul Pratt Memorial Library building is designed in the
classical style of architecture, of the Georgian, or Colonial period,
and is cruciform in plan, the main reading rooms making the long
arms of the cross, with an Ionic portico on the front and the stack
room in the rear making the short arms. The walls are built of
buff brick with trimmings of Indiana limestone, above a base course
of granite. The roof is of copper, and is crowned by an octagonal
cupola terminated by a vane in the form of a mackerel, — typical
of Cohasset's former industry. In a circular hall opposite the
entrance is the general delivery desk, and close to this a card cata-
logue case let into the paneling of the wall. Beyond the desk,
622 History of Cohasset.
with an intervening lobby, is the book room, consisting of two tiers
of steel stacks with glass floor. This room is of fireproof construc-
tion, and is shut off from the main building by an automatic fire-
proof door. It contains shelf-room for about 13,000 volumes,
and, by reason of the basement being wholly above ground on the
rear, it is made possible to increase the capacity by adding an equal
amount of shelving below, making a total capacity of 26,000
volumes. This arrangement of stacks, partly above and partly
below the general delivery desk, brings all of the books within easy
access. The whole north wing of the building is given to a large
reading room containing the juvenile department and cases for
exhibition of articles of historic interest; and the south wing is
divided into a smaller reading room, an alcove for reference books,
and a room for the use of the librarian and directors. Both reading
rooms have fireplaces, and are paneled to the height of the windows
and finished with birch in mahogany color, with birch floors. The
spaces on either side of the vestibule are used for the janitor's room
and stairs to the basement and loft. In the pediment above the
front portico is a clock, the gift of Mr. James Longley of the Board
of Directors.
EARLY RECORDS OF THE COHASSET LIBRARY.
Since the story of the development of the Cohasset Library was
written by Rev. Mr. Bigelow, as mentioned above, books bearing
the inscription, "Social Library of Cohasset, 1792," have been
found among those of the Cohasset Free Public Library. These
books show that a Social Library was in existence at least forty
years earlier than the Washington Library, which was legally
organized in 1832.
A document dated March, 1800, now in possession of the library,
a copy of which is appended hereto, gives a "List of Proprietors of
old stock on the first of march by the Records" of the Cohasset
Social Library, presumably that one in existence in 1792 and likely
the Social Library into which the Washington Library was merged
in 1844.

HISTORIC MEMORIALS.
By Oliver H. Howe.
The past ten years have seen a rather general movement to mark
historic localities. An interesting memorial is the tablet inserted
in a boulder near Bound Rock, close by Lincoln's Mill Pond.
The boulder rests against the town boundary stone by the roadside
of South Main Street, at the Scituate line.
Bound Rock at the outlet of Lincoln's Mill Pond is underneath
a storehouse of the grain mill upon the side street, and is marked
by a stone post projecting up through the floor of the building.
Bound Rock marks the easterly extremity of the boundary between
the Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth Colonies. Further west
the line was designated as passing through the middle of Accord
Pond. (See " Narrative History of Cohasset," pp. 124-126.)
This line as it exists on our maps to-day, and referred to as the
"Old Colony Line," "Patent Line" or "Patten Line," extends in
an approximately straight course from Bound Rock to the Rhode
Island boundary, a distance of thirty-five miles. It is the longest
straight boundary line in Massachusetts, and originally marked
the division between Puritans on the north and Pilgrims on the
south. It now divides Norfolk and Plymouth counties, with the
exception that Hingham on its northerly side has joined Plymouth
county.
Established in 1640 by four eminent men from the two colonies,
it is found that with one exception it is the earliest artificial bound-
ary located by landmarks in the United States. A line extending
twelve miles across the peninsula from Chesapeake Bay to the
ocean was established in 1632 and remains as a present boundary
between Maryland and Virginia. The latter line was designated
in a charter from the king, while the Massachusetts colony line
was a mutual arrangement between the two colonies by their own
appointed commissioners.
The tablet was prepared and placed by the Old Colony Com-
mission, appointed by the governor in 1895, and consisting of
William T. Davis of Plymouth, Rev. S. Hopkins Emery of Taun-

ton, and L. Vernon Briggs of Boston. It was erected in 1900 at
the most convenient point on the main highway, although 133 feet
distant from Bound Rock. The tablet reads as follows:

the Common, and reads as follows:

RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF COHASSET.
By OLIVER H. HOWE.
The ten years since the publication of the Narrative History
of Cohasset reveal a steady progress along the lines of town life
which then existed. We notice at once that Cohasset has
become more modern. Perhaps nothing has contributed more
to this progressive spirit than the introduction of the telephone.
At first limited to a single pay-station in the drug store of Frank
W. Browne, Cohasset now has a well-appointed telephone
exchange and about two hundred subscribers among towns-
people, besides more than one hundred among summer residents.
The citizen no longer spends half a day in driving to see some
one on business, only to find him absent from home. As addi-
tional bonds of public safety, the town installed a fire alarm
telegraph system in the summer of 1905 and a police signal
system in 1908. The railroad extended its second track to
Cohasset in 1906, adding much to the safety and expedition of trains.
Electric power was used from July 24, 1899, to Nov. 22, 1901, as an
experiment upon the accommodation trains between Braintree
and Cohasset. It had been used for several years previously in
the summer upon the trains of open cars of the Nantasket Beach
branch; but the line from Braintree to Cohasset was an early
instance of its use upon a regularly equipped railroad the year
round. The current was supplied by a third rail and the motor
was installed beneath an ordinary passenger car, the motorman
occupying a small compartment forward.
The introduction of gasoline power for boats has revolution-
ized the life of the boatman and fisherman. Instead of being
dependent upon the fitful and uncertain breeze and being doomed
to the consequent becalmed conditions with the weary pull at the
oars, against wind and tide, the lobsterman can now visit his
traps with certainty and dispatch. The sea is not the only
locality vanquished in these modern days, for the horse is
627
628 History of Cohasset.
becoming less frequent and the automobile is an almost constant
feature of the landscape. Roads have been much improved, and
the state road now extends from the Hingham line near Whitney
crossing to the Scituate line near Lincoln's mill, with the excep-
tion of a mile in the village, which the town has made equal to
state highway. The increased wear of the roads by automobiles
has necessitated the use of oil or of tar to lay dust and preserve
the road.
A hearing upon a petition for an electric street railway was
held in 1904, but proved futile. The town is thus free from the
encumbrances of tracks and trolley wires in its streets, which
are none too wide for the present kinds of traffic. What the
future means of public transportation will be, one can only
conjecture, but it is not unlikely that we shall have motor vehicles
running without tracks.
Lovers of horses have preserved for themselves certain secluded
drives. Howe's road extending between King and Doane streets
has long been enjoyed for driving, but in recent years Worrick
road and certain intersecting drives connecting with these and
with Turkey Hill have been built and form delightful retreats for
summer afternoons.
The general aspect of Cohasset has been much improved by
the erection of several public buildings. St. Stephen's Church
crowning the rocks in the center of the town, lifts its massive
tower as a noble and dignified landmark. The Paul Pratt
Memorial Library is a conspicuous ornament, and its hospitable
doors invite all the inhabitants to the broad and liberal culture
of the age. At North Cohasset the Pope Memorial Church,
massive in every detail, adds a note of strength and permanence
to the already charming Jerusalem Road, while its sweet-toned
bell is a delight to every listener.
The old Black Rock House, which stood close to Jerusalem
Road for so many years, was torn down in the fall of 1903 and its
site left open as it is now, greatly enhancing the view. Its new
namesake stands upon a rugged cliff about a thousand feet to the
westward; and with picturesque towers and breezy piazzas, exults
in its cool situation and fine view. With the passing of the old
hotel, we must also notice the disappearance of the old Warren
Recent Development of Cohasset. 629
Bates House on Jerusalem Road, for so many years kept as a
quiet and select boarding house by the genial couple who occupied
it. The property was purchased in 1904 by Mr. Matthew Luce,
who, after removing the old buildings, erected the fine residence
which he now occupies. Much of the life and constitution of our
present summer colony owes its origin to this excellent boarding
house where many of our families first enjoyed the delights of
Cohasset. Beginning as transient boarders, they were led to
build houses and develop large estates here, which have already
been enjoyed by the second and third generations of their descend-
ants. It is proverbial that any one who has really tasted the
beauties of Cohasset becomes possessed by a desire to return and
live here. This is seen in the "homing instinct" of our towns-
people; for many a young couple have emigrated to some other
locality more convenient to business, expecting never to return;
but a few years (or months) have sufficed to bring them back to
their native town for life.
Development of ornamental public grounds has kept pace with
other improvements. The North End Park, with its quiet, restful
elms, was made in 1904 through the generosity of Mrs. T. F.
Furber. An extensive improvement of Meeting House pond
was accomplished in 1903, the cost being provided by the estate
of Robert C. Billings. The fountain and the present graceful
curbing were added and the immediate surroundings greatly
improved. The beauty of our Common compels the admiration
of every beholder. As the center of a village it possesses a harmony
and proportion and a rare beauty, which are seldom equalled and
probably never surpassed. The Billings estate also provided for
an enlargement of Pratt Park in Beechwood, now known as
Billings-Pratt Park.
In 1907 the town purchased Lawrence wharf on Border Street
for a public landing place. The acquisition of this wharf, together
with the widening of Summer Street at the head of the Cove, gives
the town the ownership of nearly half of the shore of the inner
harbor. Among the old buildings which have given way to the
march of improvement were the old store of Mr. Caleb F. Nichols,
at the head of the Cove, torn down in 1907, and the near-by Zealous
Bates house, demolished in 1908. The aspect of the old fishing
630 History of Cohasset.
village is slowly but surely disappearing, with consequent loss
of many quaint buildings, but delightful views have been opened
up and the natural beauty is much enhanced.
The schooner yacht Grade, one of the later vessels built in
Cohasset and which remained at anchor in the harbor for nearly
twenty years, was broken up in 1905. She was built for
Mr. Edward E. Tower in 1872 of timber grown here. Her
length was 68.2 feet and her gross tonnage 53.84. A near neighbor
of the Grade at her anchorage, although kept in commission, was
the famous sloop yacht Shadow, owned by Dr. John Bryant. She
was built by J. B. Herreshoff in 187 1 and had a length of 36 feet
6 inches. She defeated the English cutter Madge in 188 1, and in
the period between 1875 and 1886 the Shadow maintained constant
prestige over boats of her tonnage in Eastern waters. Within
the past year, when laid up between the bridges at Chelsea, she
was burned in the great Chelsea fire April 12, 1908.
Mention of the Shadow brings to mind Capt. Aubrey Crocker,
who for many years sailed her. Captain Crocker also sailed the
Puritan against the Genesta in 1885, successfully defending the
America's cup. In 1893 he sailed the Navahoe against the
Britannia on a course from the Isle of Wight to Cherbourg
and return, winning back to American possession the Brenton
Reef cup. During this race, which was in the severest racing
weather, Captain Crocker remained constantly at the wheel for
ten hours, part of which time he was in water up to his waist.
Captain Crocker spent most of his life in Cohasset and died here
June 23, 1906.
An attempt was made in 1902 to have the town purchase
White Head, in order to secure to posterity the time-honored
picnic privileges. After two meetings and free discussion of the
matter, the town voted by a good majority to purchase the prop-
erty, but failed to give the required two-thirds vote. White
Head has since passed into private hands, and the opportunity
is lost.
The enjoyment of the sea is much increased by the flourishing
Cohasset Yacht Club, formed in 1894. Lovers of golf take much
pleasure in the fine links of the Cohasset Golf Club on land of
Mr. Henry M. Whitney on Lambert's Lane. In 1901 the town
purchased a spacious ball field and recreation ground just below

the reservoir on Pleasant Street. The Cyrus H. Bates Camp of
Sons of Veterans, No. 140, was formed in 1908 with forty mem-
bers and William H. Brown as commander.
The conduct of town meetings is much facilitated by the
adoption of the Australian ballot in 1904. In 1907 the town
sold its old almshouse on King Street, and built the modern and
commodious Cohasset Home on Pond Street, which would be a
credit to any town. The new Woodside Cemetery on North Main
Street, next the Hingham line, was opened in 1902. New fire
department houses have been built at North Cohasset (the
Matthew Luce Hose) and in Beechwood. The interior of the
First Parish Church has been carefully restored, replacing the
antique columns with which it was originally ornamented.
Being somewhat distant from Boston, Cohasset develops its
own village institutions and social life. The Literary Club,
formed in 1890, has been a notable means of culture, and now,
after an existence of eighteen years, is in a flourishing con-
dition with more than fifty members. The Men's Club of
Cohasset, formed in 1907, has now one hundred members, and
uniting in a broad and liberal way the energies and resources
of the citizens, will make for civic improvement and high stand-
ards of citizenship.
The town has had a steady growth: many new houses have
been built, including one large settlement on Lincoln Hillside.
All houses have become more comfortable by adoption of modern
heating apparatus and plumbing. New summer cottages have
also been built, many of which are placed in picturesque situ-
ations in our rocky woods. Our summer residents are making
longer seasons here, and the summer house, being better fur-
nished and equipped than formerly, is becoming more and more
the real home. Some families originally here for the summer
have made Cohasset their residence for the entire year. The
influence and help of these new citizens in our winter social life
is of decided benefit. Free from any disturbing elements to
impair its value as a place of residence, combining a shore of
wonderful interest with the rugged charm of woodland and cliff,
Cohasset is the gem of the " South Shore," famous for its pictur-
esqueness and its beauty.
