| 17 |    | SHORT DESCRIPTION: Oil painting titled 'Bark Coriolanus' (actually named Lina at the time painting was created) by New Bedford artist Harry A. Neyland. The painting is signed and dated in black at the lower right corner. The three masted vessel (actually named Lina/Lena at the time the painting was created) is shown against Merrills Wharf in New Bedford. Her port side is against the pier and her yards do not carry any sails (the vessel spent a year sitting at Merrills Wharf before leaving on a voyage to Cape Verde on November 20, 1927). The masts of a schooner (without yards) rise above the wharf at the right side. The buildings of the town appear in the background to the left and right of the bark. The water in the foreground is calm and the masts and hull of the vessel are reflected in the slightly rippling water. A photograph in the collection of the New Bedford Whaling Museum by Lynwood M. Chace shows Harry Neyland painting this image in 1927. A photograph in the Nicholson Collection of Whaling Photographs in the collection of the Providence Digital Library shows the vessel at the P.& R. wharf in 1927 and the name Lina is clear on the bow. See attached images. Text on the back of the New Bedford Whaling Museum states: Retouched photograph of Harry Neyland, seated, at work painting a Cape Verdean packet at Merrill's Wharf in New Bedford. Newspaper clipping glued on back of photograph reads, "Harry Neyland of New Bedford Painting an Old Whaler at Merrill's Wharf (Photo by Lynwood M. Chace)." Handwritten below the clipping is, "Painting-Bark Coriolanus-Cape Verde Packet, The last of the large packet ships coming to New Bedford." Although it may have appeared in other papers, the image was published in the Los Angeles Times on January 1, 1928, page 93, suggesting the photograph was taken in 1927. The newspaper clipping has not been found yet. NOTES: An article in New Bedford's The Standard Times, November 16, 1927, page 1, reports that Mr. Harry Neyland would be traveling to Fogo and Praia in the Cape Verde islands on the bark Lina (named Coriolanus in an earlier life and renamed Coriolanus in 1928). The vessel was leaving on November 20th from Merrills Wharf in New Bedford, where it had been sitting for more than a year. His 13-year old son Eugene would accompany his father on the voyage. The article also reported that Mr. Neyland's address was 15 Middle Street, Padanaram which is in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts. NOTES: Harry Neyland was an American painter, sculptor, illustrator, and copyist. His style was essentially American Impressionistic and his compositions covered a wide variety of genres: landscapes, townscapes, ships, marine, harbors, and London and Paris scenes. Neyland was an expert on the whaling industry who would give lectures on whaling and ships during exhibitions of his marine paintings. A 1948 Lowell “Telegraph” article, indicated he had a solo show of over seventy ship paintings at the Whistler House Museum of Art and presented a forty-five minute motion picture of the whaling days and recent times of New Bedford. Neyland was a resident of New Bedford from 1911 and until 1938 maintained a studio on Cuttyhunk island at the entrance to New Bedford harbor. Harry Neyland was instrumental in the saving and preserving of the famous whaleship Charles W. Morgan. While berthed in Fairhaven in 1924, the Morgan was nearly destroyed when the steamer Sankaty caught fire and broke free of her mooring lines and drifted into Morgan's port quarter. Luckily, the Fairhaven firemen managed to save her. After the near disaster, Neyland and some other New Bedford citizens tried to restore and preserve the Morgan, but their attempts were unsuccessful. Neyland persuaded Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green, the grandson of Edward Mott Robinson, who had been a part owner of the Morgan and from 1849 to 1863 had acted as the vessel's agent for his wife's (Hetty Robinson Green) business (Isaac Howland and Company, who were the other principle owners) to save the ship. Green had the ship towed to his estate in Round Hill (Dartmouth, Massachusetts) and founded Whaling Enshrined, which consisted of himself, Neyland, and John Bullard, the great-grandson of Charles Waln Morgan. The Morgan was restored and kept at Dartmouth until 1941 when it was acquired by the Marine Historical Association (now Mystic Seaport Museum). The Mariners' Museum and Park's collection holds eleven paintings by Neyland. Five form a series titled 'The Story of the Ship' (QO 1-QO 5), three show views of the whaleship Charles W. Morgan under repair (QO 6) and sailing (QO 9, QO 10) , and the remaining three show view of the schooner Fairhaven (QO 11), the bark Coriolanus (QO 7), and the packet ship Amos Peggs (QO 8). VESSEL INFORMATION - VESSEL NAME: CORIOLANUS ALL SHIP'S NAMES: CORIOLANUS, TIPISON, EUGENIA AMELIA, LINA VESSEL TYPE: BARK SHIP BUILDER: A. McMILLAN & SON BUILDER LOCATION: DUMBARTON, SCOTLAND VESSEL BUILT: 1876 DIMENSIONS: 1053 gross tons; 217' length, 35'2" beam, 20'1" draft VESSEL HISTORY: The sailing ship Coriolanus was built in 1876 by A. McMillan & Son, Dumbarton, Scotland, for J. Patton, Jr. of London. Constructed of Swedish wrought iron and lavishly finished in teak, brass, and mahogany, she measured 217.4 feet long, 35.2 feet beam, with a depth of 20.1 feet; she grossed 1155 tons. Although an extremely fast and busy vessel, she showed little or no profit due to high operating costs, so Mr. Patton turned her over to the operating firm of J. Stewart & Son, London. A few years later she as sold to German interests and while under that flag went ashore at Algoa Bay in 1902. It was at that time she lost the original figurehead, a full length figure of a Roman Warrior, Coriolanus. Following the grounding the vessel was completely reconditioned and altered to barque rig with a new figurehead installed. She was then sold to British interests, and in 1903 was sold again to Norwegian buyers. She remained under the Norwegian flag until 1921, at which time she became the property of Panamanian interests, and her name was changed to Tipison. Shortly afterward she was seized by U.S. Customs for smuggling [rum] and sold at U.S. Marshal sale to Portuguese-American interests. With the name again changed to Eugenia Amelia, she entered the Cape Verde Island packet trade between New Bedford, Massachusetts and Cape Verde Islands. For the first time she became a passenger-carrying vessel. At the islands she changed hands again and returned to New Bedford as the Lina with her home port Saint Vincinte, CVI. She left New Bedford in 1927 named Lina, and returned in 1928 under new ownership and a return to her old name, Coriolanus, and Portuguese registry (See New Bedford's The Standard Times, May 25, 1928, page 4). In 1932 she was sold to West African Trading Company, retaining her original name. In all she had flown eight different flags, owned by 18 different firms, and hailed out of no less than 13 different ports. She was broken up at Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1935. Another source indicates that the ship was sold in 1932 to Boston and renamed Hispanola, a scientific and pleasure vessel. | CL575 | |||||||

Most of the letters were written by Chester A. Lozier to his wife, Lina C. Lozier, while he was an electrician aboard the receiving ship Cumberland in Norfolk, Virginia. --The collection contains letters detailing some of Lozier's past experiences while traveling in South America aboard the Pittsburgh, his thoughts while traveling to the East Coast, specifically in and around Norfolk, Virginia, as well as his duties aboard the Pittsburgh and the Cumberland. He mentions using wireless radios aboard the ships, as well as sending wires to his wife occasionally. He frequently writes about how much he misses his wife, and repeatedly encourages her to come visit him in Norfolk while he waits for orders. His letters also discuss his paydays, sending money to his wife, and buying life and accident insurance. Many of his letters mention things that may be censored then or in the future, but the letters bear no marks of censorship. One enclosure Lozier sent to his wife was travel notes about the dates, ships, places, and miles that he had already traveled during his enlistment. --Chester Albert Lozier was born on February 21, 1886 in Indiana. Lozier is known to have served in the Navy aboard the Cumberland as a surveyor while it was acting as a receiving ship at Naval Training Station, Norfolk, Virginia.

She was then sold to British interests, and in 1903 was sold again to Norwegian buyers. she remained under the Norwegian flag until 1921, at which time she became the property of Panamanian interests, and her name was changed to Tiburon. Shortly afterward she was seized by U.S. Customs for smuggling [rum] and sold at U.S. Marshal sale to Portuguese-American interests. With the name again changed to Eugenia Emilia, she entered the Cape Verde Island packet trade between New Bedford, Massachusetts and Cape Verde Islands. For the first time she became a passenger-carrying vessel. At the islands she changed hands again and returned to New Bedford as the Lena with her home port Saint Vincinte, CVI. Change of ownership again returned her old name, Coriolanus, and the ship to American registry. In 1932 she was sold to West African Trading Company, retaining her original name. In all she had flown eight different flags, owned by 18 different firms, and hailed out of no less than 13 different ports. She was broken up at Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1935.

VESSEL TYPE: AMERICAN BARK SHIP BUILDER: A. McMILLAN & SON BUILDER LOCATION: DUMBARTON, SCOTLAND VESSEL BUILT: 1876-1935 VESSEL HISTORY: The sailing ship Coriolanus was built in 1876 by A. McMillan & Son, Dumbarton, Scotland, for J. Patton, Jr. of London. Constructed of Swedish wrought iron and lavishly finished in teak, brass, and mahogany, she measured 217.4 feet long, 35.2 feet beam, with a depth of 20.1 feet; she grossed 1155 tons. Although an extremely fast and busy vessel, she showed little or no profit due to high operating costs, so Mr. Patton turned her over to the operating firm of J. Stewart & Son, London. A few years later she as sold to German interests and while under that flag went ashore at Algoa Bay in 1902. It was at that time she lost the original figurehead, a full length figure of a Roman Warrior, Coriolanus. Following the grounding the vessel was completely reconditioned and altered to barque rig with a new figurehead installed. She was then sold to British interests, and in 1903 was sold again to Norwegian buyers. she remained under the Norwegian flag until 1921, at which time she became the property of Panamanian interests, and her name was changed to Tiburon.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The Lewiston Daily Sun, November 19, 1935 Iron Bark Coriolanis is Ready for Last Voyage Sails Soon from Bath to Fall River Ship Breaker's Yard Bath, Nov. 18 (AP) The iron bark, Coriolanus, which flew the flag of six nations over the seven seas since she was built in 1876, was being prepared today for her last voyage-to a ship breaker's yard at Fall River, Mass. A gang of workmen began cutting away the great iron yard that held her lower sails to the wind, and within a few days she will feel for the last time the surge of the ocean-at the end of a tow-rope. The Coriolanus' graceful lines won for the Dumbarton, Scotland shipwrights who fashioned her the gold medal of the Honorable Shipwrights Guild of London, and in her youth, she made a voyage from London to Calcutta in 69 days the equal clipper ship time. When the Coriolanus sailed under the British Jack, she as a full-rigged ship, Norwegians who bought her in 1904 changed her to the more economical bark rig. Later she sailed under the flags of Germany, Portugal, Panama and the United States. Several years ago she was brought here to be refitted for service between New Bedford and the Cape Verde Islands. But the scheme never materialized, and she has been tied up at a local pier since. Soon she will meet the same fate of many another old square-rigger. The breaker's hope to get 400 tons of iron out of her hull. Excerpt from "Cape Verde Packet Trade" by Ray Almeida [Excerpted from Cape Verdeans in America: Our Story, ed. Raymond A. Almeida. Boston: Tchuba-American Committee for Cape Verde, Inc., 1978. Boston.] In 1929 [Roy] Teixeira joined with Albio and Antonio Macedo in acquiring the 300-foot Coriolanus. She was a luxury ship by comparison with the other Cape Verde packets, carrying 200 passengers plus crew. The ship had tiled bathrooms, electric lights, a radio, and a paid orchestra aboard, as well as a newspaper listing the daily activities. There were constant celebrations, such as the "christening" of the crew's pet monkey. (The ill-fated monkey perished when he fell from a yardarm in a storm.) Teixeira decided to take his new bride to his homeland on the Coriolanus. What began as a pleasant voyage was not without a few challenges. Several days out they ran into a storm during the night. The cargo shifted, and the ship would not right itself. Captain Sena was afraid to jettison the trucks and crates on deck on his own authority and so awoke Teixeira who immediately ordered the vehicles and the cargo on the leeward side thrown over. Slowly the ship began to right herself, and all were saved. Just a few days out of Sao Vicente an old man, who was going back to retire in the islands, died. A brief ceremony was held for him, and he was buried at sea. Teixeira had the Coriolanus for several more years. Toward the end, she made a record passage from New Bedford to Santo Antao in seventeen and one-half days, in spite of being becalmed for three days in the doldrums. On the return trip from Fogo with eight passengers and a crew of 38 men, she was struck by a squall which brought down some of her upper rigging, leaving it in a tangled heap on deck. Her crew fought to save her, cutting away the broken spars as raging seas swept across her rails. The ex-clipper was still seaworthy, and she limped to New Bedford under shortened canvas. When she docked there on September 11, 1930, her sailing days were over. http://www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Ships/Merchant/Sail/C/Coriolanus(1876).html Coriolanus: An iron full rigged ship built in 1876 by Archibald McMillan & Son, Dumbarton.

| 31 |  | NOTES: The Fall River Line was a famous and long-running passenger transportation service (1847–1937) that connected New York City and Boston via a combination of overnight steamboat travel along Long Island Sound (and Narragansett Bay) and rail connections. Passengers typically took a night boat from New York to Fall River, Massachusetts, then continued by train to Boston (or vice versa), making it a luxurious and popular "rail-water" route, especially during the Gilded Age. The company was founded by Richard Borden who began a regular steamboat service between New York City and Fall River in 1847 (the Bay State Steamboat Company/Bay State Line). In 1863 the Bay State Steamboat Company was sold to the Boston, Newport and New York Steamboat Company, and the railroad was extended between Fall River and Newport, Rhode Island. In 1869 the line was sold to the Narragansett Steamboat Company (Narragansett Steamship Company). In 1872 the Fall River Line was completely reorganized and became part of the Old Colony Railroad, under the name Old Colony Steamboat Company. In 1893, the Fall River Line became part of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (commonly called the New Haven Railroad). Under this railroad's influence, the steamboat operations (including the prominent Fall River Line) were reorganized and operated through the New England Navigation Company (organized January 1, 1905, the Fall River Line became a division in 1906). By the early 1910s (evidenced by references like 1913 stock certificates and reports), operations and marketing increasingly used New England Steamship Company (often abbreviated N.E.S.S. Co.). The shift to the new name likely occurred gradually between 1905 and 1910, with the name "New England Steamship Company" becoming the primary public and operational identity by the late 1900s/early 1910s. No single "renaming date" is pinpointed in primary sources, but the effective transition to the Steamship Company name for day-to-day branding and management was complete by around 1910–1912. The New England Steamship Company directly managed and marketed the Fall River Line's fleet of elegant side-wheel steamships (such as the Pilgrim, Priscilla, Puritan, Commonwealth, and Providence). After its employees went on strike in the middle of 1937, the company chose, in the face of ongoing losses due to land transportation, to liquidate rather than negotiate with the union. Vessels operated by the line: Bay State (1847), Massachusetts (1847), Empire state (1848), State of Maine (acquired 1849), Metropolis (1854), Old Colony (1865), Newport (1865), Bristol (1867, acquired 1869), Providence (1867, acquired 1869), Pilgrim (1883), City of Fall River (1883, freighter), City of Brockton (1886, freighter), Puritan (1889), Plymouth (1890; rebuilt 1906-1907), City of Taunton (1892, freighter), Priscilla (1894), Providence (1905), and Commonwealth (1908).
