Oct. 6th, 1834 Took her down the river on the same tide. Stopped at the turn of the channel.
Oct. 7th, 1834
Took her to Rocky Nook wharf. Worked on the ship all this month.
Nov. Ist, 1834 The ship left the wharf and came to off the Rope Walk when I left her. (They evidently had a great deal of trouble in moving this ship in the river so much so that Mr. Bartlett wrote a more complete account of what he was engaged in doing than usual. It was an unfortunate begin- ning for a new ship and we can but wonder if she continued to be un- fortunate after getting to sea and if any sailors, knowing of her early mis- haps, were superstitious about going in her.)
Jan. 27th, 1835 Loading the schooner December, Ed- ward Holmes, master; with fish at Mr. Holmes' fish yard.
Jan. 3Ist, 1835 Went to Boston discharged cargo and came home the 6th of Feb. There was ice in the bay but noth- ing to hinder us coming up the river. Loaded again with fish and left for Boston, Feb. 22nd. Sold the fish and came home the 28th of February.
March
1835 First part of month cold, vessel frozen in at Rocky Nook wharf. The 22nd we left for Boston the wind being unfavorable we anchored in the bay. The wind increasing to a gale, east, surging in a sea the chain parted and lost our anchor. Came up to the Duck Trap. Let go our best lower anchor and came home. The gale was heavy.
Mar. 25th, 1835 Went to Boston, discharged and came home.
(The Duck Trap he speaks of is a small channel that leads to Island Creek, Duxbury, from the Kingston channel near the mouth of Jones River.)
Apr. 9th, 1835 The Jones River Packet, my father, master, commenced running.
Apr. 28th, 1835 The Jones River Packet was lost on the Toddy Rocks in Boston Harbor, Hull. My father, master. No lives lost, but vessel a total loss. They came in by the light (Boston Light)
the evening before. It was very dark and could not see the way. It was ebb tide and they expected she would come off all right the next tide, but the wind came out east and blew a gale making it very rough. They saved most of their traps and brought them up to town (Boston). We were there in the December and they put on board our vessel and came home with us the 2nd of May. Bad affair!
May 2nd, 1835 Left (Kingston) for Boston in the December, my father, master. Cap- tain Edward Holmes, left. Took in salt from the ship and came home.
May 16th, 1835 Schooner Eveline sailed for the Grand Bank.
Aug. 10th, 1835
Came home from Boston loaded with salt took from the ship Rialto.
Aug. 30th, 1835 Came from Boston. Head winds and foggy. The schooner Cordova, Benja- min Delano came in with us from the Grand Bank with a cargo of 42,000 fish.
(He was making trips to Boston and back in the December, schooner, un- til Oct. 13th, when he left and joined the sloop Algerine, Solomon Davie, master. He remained on her until she was hauled up at Rocky Nook wharf for the winter, Dec. 12th.)
Feb.
1836 Very cold. No communication with Boston by water for six weeks.
Mar. 5th, 1836 At this time painting on a new schooner in Deacon Bartlett's yard. She belongs to Col. John Sever, (name) Exchange.
Apr. 2nd, 1836 Launched the schooner.
Apr. 13th, 1836 She is rigged and we took her to Plymouth. Sold there to Richard Holmes.
Apr. 24th, 1836 Worked on schooner (Hope) belong- ing to Rufus B. Bradford.
May 12th, 1836 Sloop Algerine sunk off Hyannis, Bacon, master. Crew saved. She had been out south.
June 16th, 1836 Sailed from Rocky Nook wharf in the good sloop Atlanta. William D. Winsor, master. Bound for Boston. (At this time he was twenty-three years old and had tired of coasting and went to learn the carpenter's trade with his brother, David, who was at work in Newton. In May, 1837, the diary shows that Alexander Holmes was keeping store opposite the Green in Kingston.)

She re- mained in this condition till the next day when she was righted and taken to the wharf below the Rail Road bridge. They had considerable trouble getting her down the river to Rocky Nook wharf and down the bay. It required a good deal of ballast to keep her up. (This was the bark that the Captain ran away with after the Holmes' had sold her.)

This diary is now in the Kingston Public Library and the extracts that have been given show how these men employed themselves in the different building yards here at the time of their greatest activity and what one of them did on the vessels when not engaged in working at his trade.
His trade was that of a ship joiner, which is a carpenter who does the finishing off on a vessel after she is timbered and planked and nearing completion. These men worked in the yards as their services were required on the vessels under construction. All these old ship carpenters and riggers were men used to manning vessels if crews were needed to take them to Boston or bring them home from there.
When Alexander Holmes was president of the Old Colony Rail Road Company a loco- motive went through the drawbridge into Fort Point Channel which separates South Boston from Boston. The railroad wrecking crew being unable to handle the situation as their equipment in those days was limited, President Holmes at once sent for Ichabod Peterson of Kingston, master rigger in his father's building yard, who came to Boston with a gang of riggers and ship carpenters and by the use of the heavy blocks and falls used in masting vessels soon had the locomotive raised from the bottom of the channel and traffic restored. This is an example of what might be demanded of the men working in these yards if an emergency should arise, and it was always stand by for a call with them.
The condition of the river and bay in winter as to ice and storms is mentioned several times in the diary showing how the packets were often delayed in their trips to Boston, which must have been of great inconvenience to those living here and depending on water transportation for the movement of merchandise.
The first running of a train as told is interesting, as a letter of Joseph Holmes to his son, Captain Paraclete Holmes, master of the ship Herculean at New Orleans, dated May 26, 1844, concludes, by saying, "We are going to have a railroad from Plymouth to Boston." The railroad crossed the river over a drawbridge, thus separating the upper and lower building yards, increasing the labor of moving vessels between the yards by having to pass through the draw with them, and it would be natural that the coming of the first train would be an event to be noticed by the men working in these yards beside the tracks, as was done by Mr. Bartlett and recorded in his diary. No doubt, the event was noted by others and also recorded, as keeping a diary was a common thing to do in those days, but it is unfortunate so few have been preserved. The drawbridge continued to be used by the railroad company for several years after work in the upper yards had been given up and when in need of repairs it was replaced by a permanent bridge, the company con- sidering it cheaper to take out and reset the masts of any vessel that might wish to pass through than to maintain a draw. It was because of this old drawbridge and a question of the right of the railroad company in discontinuing a bridge of this type over tide-water
29
SHIPS OF KINGSTON
that was navigable for vessels that saved Mr. Lewis H. Keith of Kingston, owner of sloop yacht, Siren, quite a sum of money. Captain N. B. Watson, who commanded the Siren, was accustomed to haul her out in the winter on his land to the north of his boat- house above the bridge, first taking out her mast below the bridge. Needing a new mast one season, one was bought in Boston and sent by railroad freight. On arrival it was found the freight charges were very high and Captain Watson at once said if the railroad com- pany did not make these charges more reasonable he would mast the sloop when she lay above the bridge and demand the right to go to sea. Under these circumstances the com- pany might have had to take out the mast and reset it below the bridge, so they decided it would be less expensive to abate the freight bill than to do the work or bring the case before the courts.
A number of the Kingston vessels are spoken of in the diary and I used what was told about them in giving their story. I have repeated this in the extracts in order that they might read more connectedly.
The pictures of the spar, sail and sheer plans of the Kingston vessels were taken from the original plans, which were made by Nathaniel D. Drew of Kingston. The first record in the Plymouth Custom House showing him as a builder and master carpenter is in 1839 when he is recorded as the master carpenter in the building of the schooner Cohannet for Alexander Holmes, owner. These plans were of some of the vessels designed by him from the date of 1839 to 1865 when he was employed by Alexander, Joseph and Edward Holmes. Although incomplete as to detail in sails and rigging, it is easy to see the decided improve- ment in the design of a vessel between these years. They were found in the boat-shop of the late Captain John N. Drew, a younger brother of Nathaniel D. Drew, and were given me by a Miss Olmstead, who had purchased the homestead after the death of the Captain. I had seen them many times while the boat-shop was used by Captain Drew, but with no thought that they would ever be of value to any one. I had always been interested in vessels, especially those built in Kingston, and saved the plans. It was not until the photographs of the pictures of the Kingston vessels were taken for this story that the Drew spar plans were remembered. I found, on examination, that with the exception of the Sicilian and Fruiterer, no pictures were known to be in existence. The plans of these two, however, appear in this record. There are three half hulled or working models, made by N. D. Drew, from which the Trueman, Stafford and Frank Henry were built. That of the Trueman is now in the marine room of the Peabody Museum of Salem and the Stafford and Frank Henry are owned by Alexander Holmes of Kingston.
The sheer plans show the vessels as they were modeled, so the other plans where no model or picture exists are correct as to the general appearance of the hull and spars. Some show the masts and standing rigging, one a sail-plan and a few the masts with yards crossed, with lifts, but no braces. Mr. Drew, in his designs, gave his vessels the same style of figure or billet board, with the exception of the bark Abby and bark Sicilian. The bark Abby had a figurehead of a young girl with long, flowing hair, and he evidently did not feel that he was artist enough to draw the female form on his plan, so left the bark with only a bracket for ornament on the stem where a figure would stand when in place. The sheer and spar plan of the Sicilian show for a figurehead a crude drawing of what was intended to be a Sicily man, which is also shown in the painting. As there is a picture of this bark and also of the Fruiterer under sail no attempt was made to photograph their plans.
In most cases the plans were drawn in pencil on sheets of ordinary brown paper about three feet square and a vessel's plan was drawn on each side to save paper, their names being given on the plan. All but three of the plans had to be traced on tracing paper as the originals were soiled with age and the pencil lines were often too faint for the taking of a satisfactory photograph. On this account, the figures giving length of spars and standing rigging, were omitted for even if shown they would have been very small and not easily read.

Mr. Drew was evidently a designer of superior skill. While in the employ of Alexander Holmes he was called on to design vessels that were built in the Joseph Holmes and Lysan- der Bartlett (senior and junior) shipyards as shown by their names on the plans and custom records.
Today, few, if any families in the country can show so many pictures, spar and sail plans and models of vessels built and owned by their people so many years ago as the Holmes family of Kingston. When we consider that at this time the greater part of these were made seventy-five years ago and only recently was any thought given for their preservation, it is remarkable that after the lapse of so many years such a number of plans and pictures of the Kingston vessels were found. Unlike other shipbuilders or owners, they owned and sailed their vessels after they were built, or as Joseph Holmes writes, "fitted for sea and sent to sea on my own account and risk."
The sail plans of the vessels, with the exception of the bark Neapolitan, are taken from the designers' sheer and spar plans and show how they looked under sail.
In old records and reports the captains of vessels were spoken of as Master Mariners which distinguished them from captains in the Army or Naval service.
These old shipmasters were very particular as to how they were addressed and anyone who had been master of a vessel was always given the title of Captain, although the cap- tain of a fishing vessel was often called skipper.
As far as is known today, the following list of names are those of the Master Mariners who resided in Kingston and commanded Kingston vessels.
The three Dawes brothers lived in Duxbury near the line between Kingston and Dux- bury, and as their associations were more with Kingston than Duxbury I have included them in the list of Kingston's Master Mariners.

Many Kingston men sailed on Kingston vessels as officers and crew but as masters commanded vessels that hailed from other ports, and so their names do not appear in this list of Kingston's Master Mariners.
