The modern record here

18 settlements

What the federal record holds for each settlement inside this town: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.

The chapter

434 words

Reproduced complete and unedited from History of the Town and City of Gloucester, Cape Ann, Massachusetts, published 1892. The text is machine-read from scans, so expect recognition errors: misspelled names, dropped words, and stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the books' own; source changes are labelled in place.

Marine Anti-Fouline Paint

Dear Sir : - I feel under obligations to highly recommend your Copper Paint as the best I have ever used on a vessel. The Schooner " Mollie Adams " had it on her for four months and a half, and she has come 'round the Horn in all the warm weather in the North and South Atlantic, and North and South Pacific, and she looks extra well. There are no barnacles or grass on her; the paint has worn off but very little, and I cheerfully recommend it to all as an A i article. Vours truly,

Cai-T. Solomon Jacoi'.S.

Having applied JAMES H. TARR'S Anti-Fouling Paint on the bottoms of Iron Vessels at my Dry Dock, Pier 52, E. R., to a certain extent the past two seasons, I am pleased to state the same has given general satisfaction, and parties who have used it desire that 1 keep it in stock for this season's use.

For Wooden Vessels' Bottoms

When used strictly in accordance with directions for use it gives entire satisfaction, and our largely increased sales proves it is preferred to all others.
