Dovekie (Alle alle)
Tumblr media
"Theyre small atlantic cold water bird that looks a lot like a penguin! I grew up in a small fishing village and they were very commonly sighted in the shores around the winter, to the point where locals would call them Little Winter Birds" "The cutest little bird you ever did sea :3"
"The flight is direct, with fast whirring wing beats due to the short wings."
Dovekie are also known by a few other names, such as little auk, rotch (or rotche), and sea dove, although sometimes that can refer to the black guillemot as well. They typically eat crustaceans, and will eat up to a fifth of their body weight daily!
Little auks breed in large colonies on marine cliffsides. They nest in crevices or beneath large rocks, usually laying just a single egg. Their typical predators are glaucous gull and Arctic fox, though there have been reports of polar bear feeding on dovekie eggs.
Despite being tiny little guys, there are a few different types of food that can be made of little auk. One dish, known as Kiviaq, is Inuit in origin, from Greenland. A seal skin is stuffed with 300-500 dovekie, then sealed with seal fat and left to ferment for 3-18 months, where it will then be eaten during the winter. In Newfoundland, the birds were stuffed with savory dressing and oven-baked, but were known as a food of last resort in order to prevent starvation. This is likely due to the fact it would take 5 to 6 birds to feed a person, and that the meat is lean.

Olaf 2: Ok, ok, I do owe Mr. Rotch here quite a bit.
...300 dollars, exactly.
But when I told him I still didn't have the money a few days back, he got all quiet and just ...walked away! He's never done that before, so I got scared and ran!
i tHOuGht yOUd aPPRecIate not bEInG YELleD AT OveR MoNey fOR OncE i Was tRYINg to BE niCe!
Olaf 2:Well, it didn't seem that way.
( Comet listened on the conversation…still there to moderate in case it got out of hand…just who were these beings…? )
( She was confused by this point… )

A researcher in New York just announced that she has discovered a never-before-seen poem by Phillis Wheatley!
Dr. Wendy Roberts was researching Wheatley’s life and found the poem tucked away in a “commonplace book,” or scrapbook, of Mary Powel Potts, an 18th century Quaker in Pennsylvania. The poem, “On the Death of Love Rotch,” eulogizes a Nantucket woman whose family did business with the Wheatleys. Her son was also the subject of one of Wheatley’s poems. This new work is attributed only to “A Negro Girl about 15 years of age” but it’s very unlikely that there were two teenage Black poetry prodigies being published in the colonies (although it would be very cool if there were).
The book also contained a poem called “The Black Rose” which does not have an attribution with it but might also be a lost poem, and the only one Wheatley wrote memorializing another Black woman.
Dr. Roberts will be presenting more on this find on Thursday 1/26 at 6 EST in a virtual talk.
Further musings on this by J.L. Bell at Boston1775.

Whaler Stamps
“My stamps are poor and they look more like straddlebugs than porpoises.”
Tumblr media
So said Henry DeForrest, second mate aboard the William Rotch (1852-1853) about his stamps. Personally, I find his stamps very beautiful.  
Here are two more stamps, they don't belong to the ones Henry once made but they too were once used by whalers.

What Happened on December 16th, 1773?
One of the most important dates in the history of the United States of America. On this night, the Sons of Liberty dumped more than 300 crates of East India Company tea into Boston Harbor. To many who were still loyal to the crown, this was an act of sedition and treason by “ill designing men”. But to those whose loyalty to King George III—and his taxes—had faltered; this was a galvanizing event. Bostonians from all statuses and walks of life came together, as equal citizens, to make a peaceful protest against tyranny and taxation without representation. It was their patriotism that sparked the American Revolution.
For years, the colonies had been taxed without receiving equal representation in Parliament. The first direct tax on the colonies was the Stamp Act of 1765, taxing all paper goods. This would be followed by the Townsend Acts which taxed glass, lead, paint, and tea. This taxation without representation led to protests, riots, and further unrest in an already tense city.
The Boston Tea Party was the culmination of a series of meetings beginning on November 29, 1773—two days after the first of the three ships bearing East India Company tea arrived in Boston Harbor. The arrival of the Dartmouth, with her 114 chests of tea on board, sent Boston into a frenzy. The Sons of Liberty demanded the tea be sent back to England, but those requests were refused by Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson.
A few days later, the ship Eleanor and brig Beaver arrived with more cargoes of tea. With the deadline to unload the tea looming, Bostonians met at Old South Meeting House on Thursday December 16, 1773 to decide the fate of the cursed East India Company Tea. It was still the hope of those assembled that a peaceable agreement could be reached. Francis Rotch, owner of the Beaver and Dartmouth, was sent to Milton to obtain a pass from the Royal Governor so that his ships could be sent safely past the guns of Castle Island, and back to England with the tea still onboard. When Rotch returned and gave word that this request was denied, a mighty cry echoed through the historic hall. Samuel Adams stood up and said “This meeting can do nothing more to save the country.” This was a secret signal to the Sons of Liberty. They sprang into action as hundreds of men, loosely disguised as Mohawks, marched to Griffin’s Wharf and into history.

A serendipitous find: the Autumn 2020 issue of Sea History, publication of the National Maritime Historical Society of New York, with the article "Freedom and Whaling on Nantucket" by Skip Finley. It's all about Black and mixed race mariners, whalers, and shipowners on the island.
Tumblr media
Sampson Dyer, early 19th century. A free man of Black and Wampanoag descent, he engaged in the China Trade and commissioned this portrait from the Chinese artist Spoilum, "who specialized in European-style paintings in oil of sea captains and both Chinese and Western merchants."
Tumblr media
Captain Absalom F. Boston, by unknown artist c. 1835. A successful whaling captain and businessman, he also supported anti-slavery abolitionists and helped build a church and a school.
Tumblr media
Arthur Cooper, portrait by Sally Gardner c. 1830. Cooper had been enslaved in Virginia and escaped to Nantucket between 1815 and 1818. When the Fugitive Slave Act threatened to send Cooper and his wife back to Virginia in 1822, the locals successfully drove away the slave catcher sent to retrieve him. In Skip Finley's words:
Francis Macy, a cousin of the prominent Rotch family, intervened along with “a large assemblage of persons,” including large numbers of both the black and white communities on the island, who had surrounded the house. Sylvanus Macy stepped up to suggest the power of attorney was a forgery and said, “We are not in Virginia now but in Yankee Town, and we want those colored people to man our whale ships and will not suffer them to be carried back to bondage.”

hey! I just wanted to say I'm planning a trip to New England and added New Bedford's Whaling Museum to my list of things to do thanks to you! (And anything else you recommend doing up there? Lizzie Borden's house is already also on my list... morbid curiosity.)
It depends on how wide your range is! In New Bedford tho, the Seamen’s Bethel right across from the Museum has some poignant cenotaphs. There’s also a good historic house museum there, the Rotch Jones Duff House, if that’s your thing. And there’s huge warehouse-like antique place called New Bedford Antiques at the Cove if you wanna find some weird little tchotchke. Kickin the shit out of myself for passing on a seachest I found there cos it had a busted becket. Little did I know!
Depending on how long you’re there, there’s a ferry to go out to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket if you want some nice island time. Takes about 1 hour to get to the former, 90 mins for the latter.
Mystic Seaport in CT is about a 90 min drive out of New Bedford that’s very good too. Where the beloved Charles W. Morgan lies.
OH….you should do a whale watch somewhere, if you’re going in the summer. Tis the season for it.

Ghazghkull Thraka, I'm looking for an Ork. Last name Rotch, first name Mike. I'm trying to contact him about the arranged "dakka" he had ordered to give to his warboss.
Unfortunately, there was an error in his details. Can you please locate the ork in order to confirm this shipment of dakka so that we may be able to deliver it to him?
