SUMMARY:Cruising Salem Harbor with Reverend William Bentley
DESCRIPTION:Join historian Donald Friary as you travel back in time with Reverend William Bentley to discover Salem Harbor as he saw it in 1800.\n\n\nDuring this boat tour follow up to historian Donald Friary’s virtual presentation of Reverend William Bentley’s Salem Harbor\, you’ll explore the harbor with Reverend Bentley and learn more about the way he experienced it. According to his diary\, Reverend William Bentley seemed to be everywhere.  \nHe saw Salem’s ship captains departing for and returning from voyages around the world to bring exotic goods and new ideas to their home port. Mr. Bentley saw beached whales\, shipwrecks\, a seven-foot shark\, seals and porpoises\, lobsters and crabs. He noted ropewalks\, shipyards\, cooperages\, and fish flakes\, as well as privateers and smugglers. He was saddened by drownings and marveled at the frozen harbor. He knew all the islands—Bakers\, the Miseries\, Orne’s\, Eagle\, Cat\, Ram—and  impediments to navigation—Half-Way Rock\, Kettle Bottom\, Abbott’s Rocks\, Bowditch’s Ledge.  \nAbout Donald Friary \nDonald Friary is Director Emeritus of Historic Deerfield\, Inc. and past President of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.  A Boston native\, he first came to Salem on a summer camp day trip in the late 1940s. As an historian\, he has been intrigued by the city for decades.  Since moving to Salem in 2005\, he has immersed himself in its history and can occasionally be seen walking the streets in the guise of the Reverend William Bentley (1759-1819). As Principal of History for Hire Mr. Friary is an independent consultant to museums and historical organizations.
