Great story, Beth...Thanks for publishing it. Living in Mystic, I know there are many, many similar stories, both told & untold. I have the book "Mystic Built" by Wm. Peterson, & published by Mystic Seaport which has the listing, & some tales, of the over 1400 ships built at Mystic, including many of the great 'whalers, between the years 1784-1919. I will gladly do lookups from it should anyone have the need. Bill Waterhouse Mystic, CT < wm.r.waterhouse@mailstation.com > -END- -------------------------------------------------------------- continued from part 4. "There was now no doubt but what the 'Emigrant' had finally located fertile whaling grounds. Hardly a day passed without at least one whale being sighted, and sometimes as many as half a dozen. They were all sperm whales, however, and were much more difficult to capture than the common variety known as 'right' whales. In the second week of September, the 'Emigrant' log relates the unusual capture of five handsome specimens. Such good fortune was short-lived, for the next successful encounter was not recorded until some three months later, on December 5, 1845. For nearly a year the 'Emigrant' continued its wearisome cruise throughout the vast expanse of the Eastern Indian Ocean, trying in vain to capture more of the valuable 'kings of the sea', but only the winds of ill-fortune filled her cumbersome sails and, bitterly disappointed, Captain Sherman ordered the ship homeward-bound in the early fall of the year 1846. Circling the Cape of Good Hope, ever on the watch for stray whales to fill out their lean cargo, the men became more and more cheerful as each day brought them nearer to home and the loved ones they had left behind. After sailing off the coast of West Africa for several months the 'Emigrant' headed for the shores of North America, and, early in the morning of January 29, 1847, the joyous shout came from the crow's nest, 'Thar's old Block Island, boys, arisin' to the larboard'. Two days later the little bark sailed into Bristol harbor, and a welcoming cheer of both joy and thankfulness arose from the crowded wharves as one of the seamen yelled the good news at the top of his voice, 'All safe, none lost.' Thus ended the last successful voyage of the whaling bark 'Emigrant', for the next year she again set out for the Indian Ocean, this time from the busy port of New Bedford. She was found tossing about in a hungry sea, bottom up, with all hands, in the words of Irving, 'gone down amidst the roar of the tempest; their bones lie whitening among the caverns of the deep. Silence, oblivion, like the waves, have closed over them and no one can tell the story of their end.'

I did a lookup on NEHGS, found a lot of Irene Sullivan listings, viewed several in the SE towns of Mass, i.e. New Bedford, Fall River, etc. None for parents listed were apparent. I also searched on female Sullivan for the same time period, got lots of hits in Boston and other areas, the few I viewed were not the correct parents however. -- Sandy in Colorado

Does anyone have access to Mass Vital Records for that period that might look this up? The family was in Central Falls in 1895 and in 1898. TIA, Ann

continued from part 3. "Greatly elated over their success, the men brought the 'Emigrant' alongside the dead whale, and began the tedious process of 'cutting in' and 'trying out'. This job lasted for several days and consisted of first cutting the thick blubber in chunks; boiling it in huge iron pots on the deck, and then pouring the oil in barrels and storing them away in the hold of the ship. 'Trying out' was a most disagreeable task, and before it was completed the entire crew was soaked in sticky oil from head to foot, not to mention the sickening odor given off by the boiling blubber. The men had no sooner left the floating remains of their first whale to the squealing gulls than another was sighted and captured after a terrific battle. This one was much larger than the first, and netted the 'Emigrant' more than a hundred barrels of rich oil. Leaving the coast of South America the pilot pointed the bowsprit toward Africa and Cape of Good Hope. Soon after crossing the meridian the 'Emigrant' encountered a severe storm, -- the giant waves sweeping the deck and tossing the bark about mercilessly; the lashing gale snapping the main top mast, the gallant mast, and tearing the rigging loose in many places. Crippling along its course into the Indian Ocean the disabled bark finally made a port on the Isle of France, West of Madagascar, on May 17th, where she was refitted and supplied with fresh water and supplies. This was the first time since they had left their home port of Bristol that the crew had the liberty of spending some time ashore and the inevitable happened, -- four of the men, unable to bear the hardships and dangers of the irksome voyage, deserted. Captain Sherman was very fortunate, however, and succeeded in recruiting four new seamen to carry on their duties. After a week in port the 'Emigrant' sailed for the famous whaling grounds of Mozambique Channel, which lie between the Island of Madagascar and the East African mainland. After missing several whales, following thrilling chases, the men finally captured the first sperm whale of their voyage. While cruising in the upper channel, west of Zanzibar, the 'Emigrant' was caught in another ravaging storm, and Mr. Charles F. Tucker of Fall River, who kept the log, amusingly records that 'the old ship's a jumping and pitching into it like a sick porpoise, -- a continual gale the last seven days, ... so ends this day of our Lord and Master.' " continued in part 5.

continued from part 2. "The first two months of sailing were quite uneventful, and the end of the year found the whaler at her first port of call, Cape Verde Islands off the coast of French West Africa, where she stopped to sign on several recruits since Captain Sherman found his present crew insufficient in numbers to perform the countless duties on board. The 'Emigrant' now headed southwest through the tropical waters of the equator and across the South Atlantic Ocean to the broad mouth of the Plata River in Argentina. Here for the first time during the voyage the lookout at the masthead shouted the long-awaited, 'Thar she blows, boys, -- thar she white-waters.' All hands jumped to their posts. Boats were lowered and swiftly rowed over the heaving waves in the direction of the unsuspecting whale. After several hours of maneuvering one of the dories slid up cautiously to the rear of the beast, the men being extremely careful to escape the whale's limited vision. Coming closer and closer to the huge splashing, thrashing mass of black blubber, the excitement grew more tense. The order was shouted to 'give it to him', and the anxious harpooner standing in the bow of the dory hurled his long harpoon like a shot and buried it deep in the side of the surprised whale. The battle was on. The men pulled for their lives as the monstrous animal rose in the water, lashed fiercely several times with his powerful tail and dove out of sight in the seething waves. The harpoon rope was sounding at such a pace that the rope had almost reached its limit before the dory crew could toss out the attached running buoy. In a few minutes the whale reappeared, -- the chase was on. Gradually one of the dories gained on the tiring beast, and the lancer prepared his long sword-like spear, marked his time, then plunged it viciously into the side of the angered whale. Withdrawing his weapon by the attached 'monkey line', he again hurled it at the weakening victim, and again, and again, until at last the black monster went into his 'flurry' and rolled over dead, or 'fin out' as they called it." continued in part 4.
