| 24 |  | SHORT DESCRIPTION: Black and white wood engraving titled 'Whale Captured in the Harbor of Charleston, South Carolina' published in the January 31, 1880 issue of Harper's Weekly (Vol. 24, Issue 1205, page 77). The artist of the image was Charles Graham. The image depicts a whale after its capture in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina on January 7th, 1880. The body of the whale is depicted laying on his back on the wharf with his fin in the air. Two men, one in a top hat, stand on large blocks at the whales side. Three more men stand near the whale's tail. NOTES: The text supporting the image appears on page 77-78: A Whale Hunt in Charleston Harbor. A rare day's sport was had in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, on the 7th of January, in the capture of a huge "right" whale, which had probably been driven in from his usual haunts in the sea by the stress of weather. Several attempts were made in a small way to effect his capture or destruction, but without success, and finally a regular hunt was organized on a large scale, under the lead of the tug-boat Royal Arch. Three other tugs, fifty or sixty row-boats, and a number of small sailing vessels also joined in the chase. At eight o'clock in the morning the monster was overtaken on the bar by two of the row-boats, each manned by three oarsmen, an experienced and trustworthy coxswain, and a man in the bow armed with a harpoon and a coil of rope attached. In an instant the iron was thrown from one of the boats with unerring aim, and striking deep into the body near the tail, secured a hold for the line. As soon as he was struck, the whale made off in the liveliest manner imaginable, dragging and jerking the boat after him by the line. The men in the other boat rowed vigorously in pursuit, and keeping up with him, launched a harpoon whenever he made his appearance above water. During the run he worked his way landward, and soon got into shoal water near Fort Johnston, on James Island. In his struggles he became entangled in the harpoon line, and wound himself in it to such an extent that it had to be cut to save the boat. But the whale remained in the shallow water until afternoon, when another attempt was made to secure him. The line was picked up, and made fast to one of the tugs, which attempted to coax the fish toward the city. But the steamer proved to be too unhandy for the delicate manipulations required, and the line was finally snapped, a piece of considerable length being left attached to the whale, worn 'en train'. Then ensued a series of exciting manœuvres. The tugs would approach him in turn, as opportunity offered, and those aboard would drive lances and harpoons at him, with more or less effect, or attempt to throw great running nooses over the flukes of his tail as they were thrust above the surface in the creature's struggles. He indulged in a series of the most extraordinary gymnastic performances, turning complete somersaults, and occasionally standing on his head apparently for several moments, with from two to six feet of his tail projecting above the water. Meantime many of the small boats were dodging about him, and missiles were hurled at him whenever a fair chance was offered. Time and again barbed harpoons and the long keen blades of lances were plunged into his sides and back, and time and again did they fail to hold, being drawn back by the lines by their owners. He was slowly but surely scuffling and turning himself through the mud which was seen upon his head several times, across the Ashley River toward White Point Garden, the centre of an ever-varying circle of all sorts of craft, armed with all sorts of weapons. In his progress he ran under the bow of the schooner Minnehaha, where earnest efforts were made to lasso him, a compliment which he returned by standing on his head and thrashing her with his tail until she shook from stem to stern. He would lash the water with the flukes of his tail, making reports like the discharge of a musket, throwing the briny fluid into the air in great masses, and drenching all in his neighborhood. He came to the surface frequently to blow, which he did with a noise resembling that made by the blowing out of steam from an engine, sending a fountain from each of his nostrils. The chase lasted until sunset, and was full of hair-breadth escapes of men and boats. At last a barefooted sailor, GARRISON, of North Carolina, who had struck the first blow in the morning, drove his lance home to a vital spot, and the whale was dead. The next day the carcass was towed to Pregnall's Marine Railway, where it was photographed for Harper's Weekly. Our view on page 77 shows the monster lying on his side, with one of his fins extending upward. The tail is not seen. The body was found to be thickly seamed and scarred in every direction with the marks of lances, harpoons, and hooks, showing that the hunters had aimed well. Quite a number of barnacles or sea-shells were found attached to the head. The entire length of the fish is about fifty feet, and it is estimated that the yield of oil will be worth $600 or $800. The news of the capture soon spread everywhere, and thousands of persons came to see the monster. NOTES: Nantucket native William F. Macy learned the printer’s trade at Nantucket’s newspaper, ‘The Inquirer and Mirror.’ After going to the mainland he worked in several printing shops around Boston and was appointed as the first instructor in printing at the Lyman School for Boys in Westboro, Massachusetts. Later Macy opened an insurance agency in Boston. Throughout this time he continued studying Nantucket history and frequently contributed articles to ‘The Inquirer and Mirror’ (signing his articles "Yorick"). Around 1912, in collaboration with Anna Gardner Fish and Roland Bunker Hussey, Macy issued the first edition of the "Nantucket Scrap Basket". He arranged for a second edition of this publication in 1932. In 1915, Mr. Macy prepared and published "The Story of Old Nantucket," a condensed history of Nantucket (reprinted in 1931). He was a founder and one time president of "The Sons and Daughters of Nantucket." In 1924, Macy was appointed President of the Nantucket Historical Association and served until his death in 1935. During this time Edward F. Sanderson approached the Association about receiving his collection of whaling paraphernalia with the purpose of establishing a whaling museum on Nantucket. When he returned to Nantucket in 1928 Mr. Macy purchased the old American House property, on the corner of Orange Street and Martins Lane, and built the house now standing there. This became Macy’s headquarters during his decade of planning, raising money and finally establishing the Nantucket Whaling Museum which opened its doors on July 24, 1930. | CL454 |
