SUMMARY:WHHM Conversation: Woods Hole Whaling\, by Dr. Jim Hain
DESCRIPTION:A Woods Hole Historical Museum Conversation about Whaling in Woods Hole\nNovember 13th\, 2018\, 12:30 PM\, Woods Hole Public Library \nCandle House in Woods Hole in the early 1900s. Robert C. Hunt Jr. postcard collection\, Falmouth Public Library. \nThe stone Candle House on Water Street\, which now houses administrative offices for the Marine Biological Laboratory\, is a reminder of a time 175 years ago when Woods Hole was home port for a number of whaling ships.  In “Woods Hole Whaling:  A National and Global Enterprise from a Small Village\,” Dr. Jim Hain will present the history of whaling in Woods Hole. \n Today\, ships and researchers from the village sail the oceans seeking knowledge directed to the conservation of whales.  In a past time\, the ships and people sailed widely to harvest the whales.  As with Texas and Louisiana today\, the raw materials then were brought to a refinery or manufactory―in this case\, the Candle House in Woods Hole\,  used for storing whale oil and manufacturing spermaceti candles. \n Dr. Hain has assembled details from logbooks\, account books\, narratives\, photographs\, videos\, cemeteries\, and the work of other authors to paint glimpses of Woods Hole\, whaling voyages\, and the whaling related products manufactured and sold from the village. \n Dr. Hain has worked at the Marine Biological Laboratory\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, Sea Education Association\, and is currently affiliated with Associated Scientists at Woods Hole.  He has done research from Newfoundland to Brazil.  One of his current projects is studying and monitoring right whales and their calving in coastal waters of northeast Florida\, where he works from December through April. \n The conversation will be held at Woods Hole Public Library lower level meeting room and is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:A Conversation About Shellfishing
DESCRIPTION:The next “Conversation” sponsored by the Woods Hole Historical Museum will be a historical look at shell-fishing in Falmouth. The Conversation is scheduled for Tuesday\, May 24 at 1 PM in the meeting room in the lower level of the Woods Hole Public Library\, 581 Woods Hole Road\, adjacent to the Museum. \nThe speaker will be Matt Weeks\, who comes to the subject with not only a lot of on-the-water knowledge\, but also a deep curiosity and skill in searching historical documents. Matt was the fisheries technician for the Town of Falmouth for two years\, and helped oversee the creation of oyster rafts in Little Pond\, among other duties. Since then\, he has moved on to become a self-employed shellfisherman\, with an oyster grant just outside Waquoit Bay. He works that grant\, and also participates in wild harvest. \nHe has found the time and energy to do serious research in the historical records in the Falmouth Historical Society archives and the Falmouth Public Library\, gleaning information about shellfishing dating back to 1770s. He will talk about the results of that effort. \nMatt will share his findings relating to Falmouth’s shellfish resources for more than two hundred years starting in the 1770s. He will touch on past management of the resources\, showing images of the historical records and ledgers\, including early concerns about Oyster Pond’s oysters starting in in 1773\, the first oyster grants awarded in 1852\, and seeding local ponds. He will include details on aquaculture and natural resources and their changes through time. \nIn trying to clarify and analyze oyster grants\, he has created tables showing location of grant\, date\, and the grantee\, stretching all the way from 1852 to present\, and for the first time providing a historic and comprehensive look at the Town’s grants. He has also studied the more recent official town records relating to shellfish up to the present and will present an overview of those reports. \nAs he says of his research “My goal was to build some institutional memory that could shed some light on what has been done in the past and how we got to “now”. I also hope to glean from the documents some reflection of the ecological history of our resources and how they were utilized and changed. This would hopefully help put current management into a long- term historical perspective.” \nAs he studied the records\, he also found interesting bits about other fisheries\, which he will also share\, including the first scallop permits in 1898\, and concerns in the 1920s about fish weirs\, seines\, and a herring house. \nIt all promises to be an informative and very interesting presentation\, proving\, as the Museum’s Director Jennifer Gaines says “Matt proves how important and vital a study of the historical documents can be\, enlightening us about our lives and town today.” She adds “This is great; it is as if we all are looking right at those documents; it’s fascinating!” \nFor more information\, call the Museum at 508-548-7270.

Hayes\, Ph.D. about his underwater archeological survey of Great Harbor\, Woods Hole. \nDr. Hayes\, who is a research associate at the Institute of Maritime History in the Smithsonian Institution\, finds Great Harbor particularly interesting because it has several unusual features for Cape Cod: a very deep area in its south-east quadrant\, providing a deep-water anchorage\, historical docks on the south-east edge\, as well as the Pacific Guano Company docks farther north into the harbor where ships would tie up when returning laden from the Pacific islands. He will share the results of his surveys both under-water and on the shores. \nOld bottle found in Great Harbor (Raymond Hayes) \nRay Hayes is Professor Emeritus and former Assistant Dean for Medical Education\, Howard University College of Medicine\, Washington\, DC.
