Download or read book Neptune's Car - An American Legend written by Paul W Simpson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Smashing her way through enormous cross seas and howling winds the Neptune's Car began to run her easting down. She passed a battered barque bearing Hamburg markings vainly attempting to make westing against a thundering south-westerly gale." Those with an interest in American maritime history would know of the story of Mary Patten and the clipper ship Neptune's Car. However few would be aware of the cursed nature of the ship. The Patten's fateful voyage was just one in the career of a clipper whose travels spanned the globe. Built at the yard of Page & Allen in Gosport, Virginia in the spring of 1853, the Neptune's Car quickly established her reputation for speed. However murder, mutiny, mayhem, plague, disaster, war, death and financial ruin haunted any who know her. The fickle hand of fate was always at the helm and like the oceans upon which the clipper sailed, she spared none who showed weakness! Volume One of the Virginia Clippers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emigrant ship William and Mary departed from Liverpool with 208 British, Irish, and Dutch emigrants in early 1853. Captained by young American Timothy Stinson, the vessel was sailing for New Orleans when the ship wrecked in the Bahamas in mysterious circumstances. Instead of grounding the ship on a nearby shore or building rafts for the passengers, Stinson and the majority of his crew sneaked away in lifeboats murdering at least two of the emigrants with a hatchet as they did so and reported the ship sunk with all on board lost. But the passengers kept the ship afloat and two days later were rescued by heroic wreckers as the ship went down. Now, over 160 years on, the tale of the two murdered in Bahamian waters and the hundreds who escaped thanks to kindly wreckers can finally be told. Stinson is no longer getting away with murder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What a beautiful day for Kevin and Mary to look for their dream home. As they were walking happily through a New England subdivision, Kevin stumbled upon a two-story mansion that took his breath away. Kevin tried to open the door, but it was locked. Mary repeatedly told him that since the door was locked maybe they should leave. "This place has to be about two hundred years old," Kevin said. He wasn't about to leave. Something was drawing him to this place. Kevin tried each window and finally found one that was open and told Mary to follow him inside. Mary refused since she thought they were trespassing. Kevin shrugged it off and climbed through the window. Just as he climbed in, dark clouds rolled in and rain came pouring down upon the house. "Mary, get inside before you get soaking wet,” Kevin urged. When Mary heard the thunder and the lightning, she didn't hesitate to enter the house. She grabbed hold of Kevin's arm, clinging for dear life, as he pulled her fragile body through the window. The place was dark and gloomy with an eerie presence about it. "Mary, stay right here. I'll find us some light and a blanket to keep you warm so we can get a better look at the place." Kevin was able to find an old lantern to light their way through the rest of the house. As Kevin and Mary looked the room over Mary approached a painting on the wall. Mary said, "Kevin come over here and look at this." As Kevin approached the painting with the lantern shining bright all of a sudden his eyes were fixated on the old Sea Captain’s eyes in the painting. Then as he gazed deeper and deeper into the old Sea Captain’s eyes, Kevin became in a trance-like state and started acting differently. He was not the same Kevin that he was just minutes before he stared into the old Sea Captain’s eyes in the painting. Mary said "Look, There is a name at the bottom of the painting that says Captain Bobby Jones with a date from 1845-1901. "Mary, let's go explore the rest of the house," said Kevin.

This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sea Captain Pierpont Teasdale Morgan” is the first in a series of six books written by the author. These stories first came to his attention while researching his family genealogy. Captain Morgan was one of a number of Catholic sea captains cashiered by the Royal Navy of England, after the beheading of King Charles first, for refusing to renounce his faith. The Puritans pressed for all Catholics to be purged. This event came at an opportune time for John Greenwell, who needed sea captains to operate the new ships he had ordered to carry his tobacco to the markets in Europe from Maryland. Because he had served as captain of a fifty-two gun frigate, while serving in the Royal Navy, Captain Morgan easily moved into command as Captain of the “Bridgett of Rosedale”. A topsail, square rigged, tobacco-hauling ship, heavily armed to defend against the Pirates proliferating the seas in the late sixteen hundreds.

Book excerpt: Mary and her children left England in 1862. She was to join her husband in Utah as soon as she could get there. She would have put it off longer because it was such a hard trip for her. But he worte to her and told her that he was thinking of taking another wife. She didn't tell the children this, but she sold everything and they left. She was so surprised that she couldn't imagine it and she hurried as fast as she could to protect their family. John was only teasing her because he wanted her there with him, but she didn't know this. But that only made her more worried than anything he had previous told her. It had hurt. After many months of worrying and traveling, they arrived in Salt Lake. John had long since forgotten what he had told her and was surprised when she told him about it. He hadn't wanted Mary to worry so, but she was not forgiving. Until she had been called to a next door neighbors house to treat a man who later that night had died from a heart attack. She was so stricken that she rushed home at once to tell John that she forgave him and that things were to be as usual. They later moved to Huntsville which was named after a Captain Hunter who had been a sea captain. Brigham Young asked her if she would be the doctor of that community. She was glad to do it and she served that place until she died.

Download or read book Ocean-Born Mary written by Jeremy D'Entremont and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historian delves into the legendary story of the baby who saved a ship full of Scottish immigrants from pirates. Meet Mary, ocean-born and named by an infamous pirate. Her birth saved a group of Scottish immigrants aboard a ship bound for New England in 1720. Halfway through the grueling voyage, pirates intercepted and captured the vessel. Upon hearing a baby’s cry, the pirate captain promised to spare the lives of all on board if the mother named her newborn Mary, allegedly after his beloved mother. The ship arrived safely in Massachusetts, and Mary lived most of her long life in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Discover the house in Henniker, New Hampshire, that Mary is said to haunt, and where a pirate purportedly stashed his treasure, as historian Jeremy D’Entremont separates the facts from the fantastic legends shrouding one of New England’s most enduring folk tales.
