Sherman Ancestors in the Whaling Industry
- At the beginning of the New Bedford whaling industry
in 1770, the descendants of several Sherman ancestors were involved as
owners and Captains of the WREN, the first New Bedford
whaling vessel built specially for whaling.
|
| -Near the end of the whaling industry in 1887,
ANNIE ELMA SHERMAN acquired a 1/32 share of the ill-fated Kathleen,
which was sunk by a whale in 1902. |

The descendants of several Sherman ancestors were involved
as owners and Captains of the first New Bedford whaling vessel built
for whaling. The WREN was a square sterned sloop
of eighteen tons, built at Dartmouth (perhaps Russells Mills Landing?)
in 1770 and owned by the Master Caleb Tripp and William Davis.
|
He was one of a nine man committee appointed
by the Dartmouth town-meeting held July 18, 1774 to prepare a report expressing
the towns response to the several late unconstitutional acts of the British
Parliament.1 among several items, the committee "Resolved,
That we will not purchase any goods manufactured in Great Britain and
Ireland which shall be imported from thence after this day; and that we
will not purchase any foreign teas whatever. Also at this meeting a Committee
of Correspondence was chosen to act with other committees in America.
Also, a resolve was passed advancing " the town's proportion of the
money to pay the committee of Congress." In 1779 William Davis was
co-owner with Isreal Stoddars and Edward Pope of the privateer Prudence,
an eight man boat with one swivel gun.
The Wren was later commanded by Capt.
Fortunatus Shearman, Jonathan SOULE, Daniel
Tripp and William Smith.
Capt.
Fortunatus Sherman b:1728, the oldest
of 11 children, was notably a descendant of John
HOWLAND Pilgrim through his mother JEDIDAH HAWES and of HENRY SHERMAN through
his father.
He was the son of Jabez Sherman
b:1700, Lt. British Navy and Dartmouth Shipwright.
Much of the personal property in the inventory of Jabez's estate was joining tools, presumed to be
used in his shipwright trade. Capt.
Shearman was a sea rover, aged 42 in 1770 when the
Wren was commissioned. He let his capable and well-descended wife Sarah DELANO (age 36 in 1770) manage the old Dartmouth home and
name his 7 children,
while he managed his whaling ships.
She did that fairly enough, when she named the children after her side
of the house, the Delano's.
About Capt. Shearman, from log of the sloop Betsy, August 23, 1761, #DR
p. 63,
|
|
Capt. Shearman was involved in whaling at least as early as 1761 when
the whaling sloop Betsy "spoke" the vessel of Capt. Shearman
and "rafted blubber". During the active sailing life of Capt.
Fortunatus Sherman, his home was at Dartmouth and Glouster, MA. He was
appointed to the Dartmouth Committee of Safety on Jan.7, 1775 to collect
taxes, food and clothing for the Continental Army and impose fines or
jail sentences for those who failed to support the Patriot cause.(#BMG)
It is reported that during the Revolutionary War when the British entered
Dartmouth, the first home they burned was his. He later moved to Cambridge,
New York and was on the Commitee
of Convention for Cambridge District in 1782. He died
there in 1803. |

A bark rig sailing vessel has three masts, of which the
mainmast and the foremast are square-rigged while the aft mizzenmast is
fore-and-aft-rigged.

The Kathleen was sunk by a Whale in 1902 when cruising in
the Atlantic to the east of the Leeward Islands in the West Indies. A whale
had been speared but the iron point spear came out and the wounded creature
turned and hurled itself at the bark. The blow tore away several feet of planking,
smashed the timbers, and the vessel filled so rapidly that the crew, as well
as the captain's wife, who was on board, were obliged to take to the boats immediately.
Fortunately for them land was not far distant, and although the boats separated
all arrived safely without the loss of a life, one boat reaching Dominica, another
Barbados and a third being picked up by a passing ship. Had their vessel been
sunk in mid-ocean their fate might have been far more terrible than that of
the survivors of the Essex. (THE

J.&W.R.
Wing & Co.was the ships operator and largest shareholder during
all 50 years of Kathleen’s working as a whaler. During this time the ownership
shares of J.&W.R. Wing & Co. increased from 15/64 to 16/32. Several
private investors and captains owned fractional shares varying between 6/32
and 1/64 for various lengths of time. In 1887, Five years after her marriage
and four years after the birth of her first child, FRANK MORTON SHERMAN
Jr. , ANNIE ELMA SHERMAN
acquired a 1/32 share of the Kathleen which she held till 1899. ANNIE SHERMAN
acquired several whale ship logs and whaling artifacts that were passed
down to her descendants. Many were donated to the New Bedford Whaling Museum
and some are still owned by family members. |

Joseph Wing
was born and raised in Russell’s Mills, Dartmouth and moved to New Bedford in
1833, finding employment as a 13-year-old clerk in a dry goods business. In 1949, Joseph and his brother William started their own
clothing business supplying whalers. The Wings began to invest in whale ships
in 1849, and in 1852, became managing owners and agents of their first vessel. During the Civil War, the Wings increased their fleet, purchasing
the managing share of the Charles W. Morgan in 1863, and buying other whalers,
until they managed 16 vessels in 1866. By 1870, they controlled the largest
fleet of American whaling ships. Their
outfitting business remained profitable until about the time of Joseph Wing's
death in 1895. Their whaling business even outlived his two brothers, William
R. (who died in 1909) and John (who died in 1915). It wasn't until 1916 that
the firm dissolved its whaling interests. During the 64 years of its existence,
J. & W.R. Wing had managed 234 whaling voyages, making this simple outfitting
firm one of the leaders in American whaling history.
Relationship of Annie Elma Sherman to Joseph & William Ricketson Wing:
Annie Sherman’s
grandfather JOSEPH
WING CORNELL b: 1804,
was a first
cousin of Joseph
WING b: 1810
,
and William
Ricketson WING b:1830, managing partners of
J.&W.R.
Wing & Co. and owners of the Whaling Bark Kathleen. Their
close association as cousins of similar ages growing up together in the small
village of Russells Mills undoubtedly resulted in close social and business
contacts of the families in later years
. Lydia Wing was the
mother of JOSEPH WING CORNELL and her brother Pardon WING was the father of
Joseph and William WING.

The Kathleen generally had a crew of about 30 men, though on the
ill-fated trip in 1902 there were 38 men plus the captain’s wife who served
as assistant navigator. Many details
of some of the Kathleen’s voyages are known. ANNIE SHERMAN’s uncle, Warren
Gifford SISSON, at age 19 - 22, served as greenhand carpenter
and keeper of the ships logbook, receiving
1/125 lay (share of trip earnings) on Kathleen’s first voyage
to the Indian Ocean whaling grounds from May 4, 1852 to Feb. 17, 1855.
On
March 17, 1902, about 1,000 miles east of Brazil, a large Sperm Whale
struck the Kathleen and the ship sank in just a few minutes causing great
hardship for the crew but no loss of life. The stunning loss of the Kathleen
is recounted in Chapter 12, pages 129 - 135 of THE LONG HARPOON, A COLLECTION OF WHALING ANECDOTES,
with pen and ink sketches by: Watson, Arthur C., George

An
anonymous balladeer aboard the New Bedford Bark Kathleen during 1861-64,
immortalized two of his shipmates for their
scrismhandering skill:
Mr. Harpes
is our fourth mate a cooper by trade
And if it’s a keg or a cask you’d have made
A box to be scrimshawed, a desk or a swift
Just ask Mr. Harpes
and he’ll give you a lift.
The Carpenter
swears if I his name do write
He’ll kick, and he’ll tear, and he’ll
somebody fight
But it’s
useless for him to be taking such paines
He’s
famous for his boxes, likewise for his canes.
