View Document Text

An Amazing Autograph Bounty Document from an American Naval Privateer destined ultimately for Bermuda’s rock. The Sailing Ship 'Caesar', Rhode Island, May 25th 1744. Single Sheet. 17 x 13 1/2 inches. Minor soiling. Slight paper loss at folds. Otherwise very good. Matted.

A remarkable document, the agreement between the crew of the fourteen gun brig Caesar, a privateer sailing out of Rhode Island under the command of Captain John Griffith and two Rhode Island merchants, Philip Wilkinson and Daniel Ayrault Jr, on how the spoils will be divided from a successful privateering voyage during the War of Jenkins’ Ear. It calls for the merchants, acting as prize agents, to dispose of the captured Spanish privateer, Santissima Trinidad las Almas de Puratorio y San Antonia de Padua, and to pay each member of the Caesar’s crew a bounty of 5 pounds sterling – a sizeable sum in those days – for the capture of the enemy ship. The document is sogned by each of the Caesar’s officers and crew, thirty – nine signatures or marks with red seals in all.

The Caesar operated as a privateer under the authority of the British Royal Navy, harassing Spanish shipping during the War of Jenkin’s Ear (1739 – 42). It was during that period that the Caesar captured the Santissima Trinidad. In 1742 France allied itself with Spain against Great Britain in the war of the Austrian Succession (called King George’s War), and the Caesar continued its privateering activities, being sent to lay siege to the French fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island. The Caesar was involved in several engagements with French ships and transported French prisoners after the fall of Louisbourg.

While still in the employ of Wilkinson and Ayrault, Capt Griffith was instructed to call in at Bermuda in early 1746. This is when disaster overcame the ship. Arriving in early evening the Caesar called for a pilot while cruising about three or four leagues off the south west of the island. This is according to the Book of Deeds, Bills, Bonds and Protests (Vol 2 Book 10.1 p 160). and the Book of Protests Vol Two, both of which have copies in the Bermuda Archives and the National Museum of Bermuda.

From an original protest made by Capt. Griffith and his officers and under the chairmanship of Francis Jones Esq, President, Commander in Chief and Vice Admiral of Bermuda, at 7 am the following morning in expectation of the pilot’s arrival Griffith sent his first lieutenant to the masthead to see if there was any danger of running aground on the coral. The officer saw none, but just to be on the safe side the captain tried to move further away from the reef. His evasive action was not effective. He let go an anchor, by which time an offshore wind had started to rise. The adverse winds increased steadily all day to gale force strength. The Caesar fired her guns to try to rouse the pilot. Apparently he was all the way over in St David’s and a relief was promised. Still the danger increased. The Caesar’s Main Top yard was lowered, preparations were made to put the guns from the deck down into the hold so that there would be more room to raise sail to get out from the shoals. Then the anchor cable parted.The Caesar drove herself onto the coral, losing her rudder. By this time there was five feet of water in the holds. Despite cutting away both masts and manning the bilges the Caesar went to the bottom. The relief pilot arrived about 4 pm and was able to help the Captain and crew scramble ashore. This was accomplished with great difficulty..

Consequently in court Griffith and the officers made a vigorous protest over the pilot’s delayed arrival and the subsequent disaster which unfolded.

Actual documentation of dividing the spoils from a privateering voyage is seldom seen. The present document is large, dramatic and displayable.

Chapman, Charles Shepard (American 1879 - 1962). Horse and Rider, Bermuda, 1906. Oil on artist's board. 12 x 9 inches. Signed and dated lower left. Original moulding, under glass

This painter came just once to Bermuda in 1906, at the beginning of his career, with Frederick Sackrider Remington (1861 - 1909), a renowned Western artist and sculptor.
Apparently Chapman was unsure as to what path to take in art and it appears that it was as a result of showing Remington this oil while they were in Bermuda that the latter advised him to follow his heart using this medium amongst others. He became a notable photographer also.

The scene seems to be Old Maid's Lane, St Georges looking towards the harbour, but before additional buildings were erected which largely block the view.

Gasser, Henry Martin (American, 1909 - 1981). Bermuda Vista Framed watercolour, 1970. 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches

While he stressed that paintable subjects could be created from material at home in the USA, he found trips abroad to be very stimulating. When travelling, as in this scene in Bermuda, he concentrated on recording colour impressions of the country. His philosophy was that if time abroad was limited, he could capture vital first impressions and then crystalize these ideas with detailed studies later.

On the reverse of the piece is written in antique florid pen: Painted by Lucius Munson, St Georges, Bermuda July 1822. The subject is reputed to be a Mr Atwood, though which one is not certain.There were a number who bore that name in the Old Town at that period.

More is known about the portrait painter. Munson was born on December 16th, 1796 at New Haven, Connecticut. He studied in New York City in about 1818, returned to work in New Haven for a year, then in South Carolina and again in New Haven. About 1822, he went to Bermuda for his health, and died on July 27th 1823 while on a visit to the Turk’s Island in the West Indies. In Bermuda he painted a number of persons of note, some of which are held by the National Trust. He was represented in the 1935 Loan Exhibition of Portraits at the Bermuda Historical Society and figured widely in the publication that was put out to commemorate that event. See New York Historical Society: Dictionary of American Painters 1564 – 1860.

Outerbridge, Richmond Higinbotham "Chubby". Floral Scene. 21 1/4 x 15 inches. watercolour. circa 1966.

R H Outerbridge (Bermudian) was born to Leila and Frederick Collins Outerbridge on Jan 18th 1919. His extraordinary talent as an artist was evident at an early age and as even a teenager he received the first of his many prestigious awards, a gold medal from the Royal Drawing Society Exhibition in London. In life he loved to travel and was incurably drawn to the exotic, though as a true St Georgian, he would return there nearly every year to record its colours and shadow. He died in far away Fiji in 1997 at the age of 78.

Sheppard, J Warren. Four Palms, Bermuda. c1907. pen and ink on paper. 5 x 7 inches.

Warren Sheppard (American, 1858 - 1937). Sheppard was a true Renaissance Man, successful as an artist, teacher, author, yachtsman, navigator and yacht designer. He was born on the Delaware River in Greenwich, New Jersey, a place associated with ships and shipping since colonial times. There his father, a lumbership captain, often took his young son along the river where the developing artist studied the various moods of the sea.

He earned commissions for his illustrations in many prominent American publications and was for a time illustrator for the Rudder, a magazine of the marine. Sheppard was ship's navigator in the 1907 New York Harbor to Bermuda race on the Dervish. This vessel was owned by Henry A Moss, the commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club of Marblehead, Massachusetts. Dervish won the race in a remarkably fast 89 hours.

Sprinchorn, Carl . Bermuda Still Life Hibiscus (retro). A Bermuda Landscape (verso). c1927Watercolours 22 x 15.50 inches.

Carl Sprinchorn (American, 1887 - 1971). He was a landscape painter who combined both modernism and realism. Born in Sweden, he spent much of his life in New York State and also in Maine. Between 1937 and 1952 he worked in the woods of Maine painting lumberjacks, hunters and river drivers. However he was also associated with Marsden Hartley whom he had met in New York as early as 1916. Hartley, a modernist who collaborated with Alfred Stieglitz, Charles Demuth and Georgia O'Keeffe influenced Sprinchorn greatly. Interesting Bermuda works resulted but they are few in number and sought after.

St Georges (after Driver). A primitive watercolour signed E. Drew, Bermuda 1835

This painting 29.5 x 21.5cm takes its inspiration from Thomas Driver's study of King's Square produced in 1823. By 1835 the spire of St Peter's Church had been demolished from the effects of a hurricane, but many novice artists imitated their masters as is the case with this retro piece. There are subtle differences in this simplistic imitation of Driver's original, adding new charms to a historic Bermuda scene.

Little is known of this painter but his medium in this large dramatic Bermuda composition goes back to the time of Christ. Egg yolk mixed with coloured pigments in a water-soluble binder was widely used for works for which a long lifespan was intended. Tempora was only superceded by oils after 1500 AD and was revived by American artists of the calibre of Andrew Wyeth in the 1930s. It works particularly well in the hugely busy Bermuda Quarry scene.

Ross Sterling Turner (1847-1891) This is an outstanding painting of an impressionistic waterfront on Pitts Bay almost immediately opposite the Bermuda Coal Company headquarters at the estern boundary of the Princess pennisula. Neither the two storey house on the left nor the building which became a hardware shop on the right still exist (though the sailing dinghy Dauntless is prominent in photographs of the period). It is possible that the left hand dwelling was called Leighlin according to records. A boat building was in an inlet to the west of the shore line and the house called Olive Hill was a hundred yards up the hill above. The roofs of the houses glisten in the heat of the afternoon sun. The moored dinghy casts an elongated reflection on the varying blue ripples of the water.
