A True Account: Hannah Masury's Sojourn Amongst the Pyrates, Written By Herself. By Katherine Howe. Henry Holt, 2023.

Rating: 3/5 stars

Genre: historical fiction

Series: N/A

Summary: In Boston, as the Golden Age of Piracy comes to a bloody close, Hannah Masury – bound out to service at a waterfront inn since childhood – is ready to take her life into her own hands. When a man is hanged for piracy in the town square and whispers of a treasure in the Caribbean spread, Hannah is forced to flee for her life, disguising herself as a cabin boy in the pitiless crew of the notorious pirate Edward "Ned" Low. To earn the freedom to choose a path for herself, Hannah must hunt down the treasure and change the tides.

Meanwhile, professor Marian Beresford pieces Hannah’s story together in 1930, seeing her own lack of freedom reflected back at her as she watches Hannah's transformation. At the center of Hannah Masury’s account, however, lies a centuries-old mystery that Marian is determined to solve, just as Hannah may have been determined to take it to her grave.

Content Warnings: violence, reference to disordered eating, blood, gore

Overview: This book was on a "most anticipated" list for 2023 historical fiction. I love a good pirate story, so I figured I'd go ahead and grab a copy. There were some things that I found fun about this book, but I ultimately felt I couldn't give it a higher rating because A.) the 1930s storyline didn't feel purposeful, and B.) there wasn't much about Hannah's story that made it feel fresh. Still, if you're looking for a swashbuckling treasure hunt, you may like this book; personally, I just wanted something a little meatier.

Writing: Howe's prose is fairly literary and full of evocative description. I wouldn't call it lyrical or purple, but it does have some lovely atmospheric passages and apt metaphors. The prose also flows fairly well and appropriately balances showing and telling. Occasionally, I felt like there was some overuse of questions to further the suspense, but that's probably personal preference - I'm not a fan of the technique.

My main complaint, however, is that I didn't feel like Howe incorporated her themes well, and a lot of her potential commentary or messaging got lost. If this book was supposed to be about (queer) women living life on their own terms, it really didn't feel like Howe gave her characters much drive to do that. Hannah was bound by secrecy in order to protect herself, and Marian felt like she was constantly seeking approval from her father. If the book was supposed to be about something else, well... I think Howe could have worked in her themes a little better, and doing so would have created a stronger link between Hannah and Marian.

Plot: The plot of this book follows two timelines: 1.) In the 18th century, tavern maid Hannah Masury disguises herself as a boy and sets sail with notorious pirate Ned Lowe after getting caught up in a murder; 2.) In the 1930s, Professor Marian Beresford combs through Hannah's account for clues as to the location of a pirate treasure in the Caribbean.

Hannah's adventure was fun, hitting all the beats one would expect from a pirate story. There wasn't much about it that set it apart from other pirate tales I've read, but even so, I had a good time reading it. I do wish that the treasure hunt had been a little more symbolic or was a means to a different end; looking for treasure in itself because it is treasure is a little dull unless you're playing around with themes such as greed and ambition, but Hannah's story didn't feel like it was doing that.

Characters: Hannah, our 18th century protagonist, is fun to follow and fairly easy to root for, but I think I would have liked her better if she had shown more agency. I was very sympathetic to her plight and hoped she would do well aboard the pirate ship, but I was also a little frustrated because Hannah didn't seem to have any particular desires or skills. As a result, I didn't feel like she was making her own way in the world, just reacting to it. She didn't seem to have a strong desire for freedom, and her attitude towards sea life was rather neutral. I couldn't tell if she wanted to help find the treasure because she had a strong desire to live independently or if she went along with the hunt because she was pulled along on the adventure.

Marian's narrative was altogether different. While I had a lot of fun with Hannah, Marian's story felt slow and without purpose. I couldn't determine why it mattered so much that Hannah's account was real or made up (as a lit PhD, I see value in studying fiction from the past), and I had a hard time believing that a checked out professor would agree to take an undergraduate on a treasure hunt. I also didn't hold much affection for Marian herself, so that might have influenced my attitude as well.

Above all, I found the ending something of an anti-climax. When we learn about Marian's student and her motivations, I couldn't help but feel it was a little contrived. It also reflected badly on Marian and made me think even less of her as a supposed academic and historian.

Marian, our 1930s protagonist, is a little hard to like because she seems disconnected and sometimes callous. While I could get invested in an arc where she starts out disconnected and becomes more engaged, Marian didn't really seem to "come alive" with academic enthusiasm once she read Hannah's account. Oh, she wanted to find the treasure, but I didn't believe that she cared one way or the other about it as it related to her work. Marian also didn't use the treasure hunt as an opportunity to escape from the oppressive aspects of academia, and even if academia was supposed to be oppressive, we aren't shown how (other than maybe it being boring). Thus, Marian's reasoning for wanting to pursue the treasure was unclear; at times, she seemed to have a mild curiosity, and at others, she seemed to want to boost her reputation. She does say that she wants to prove herself to her father, but I wasn't sure what she was trying to prove since she didn't seem to care about her historical work or her teaching. Not even her queer subplot feels high stakes because she doesn't really seem to care about her job (and thus, losing it by being outed wouldn't be the worst thing in the world), nor did I get the sense that her queerness was what caused the rift with her father. Marian also feels somewhat hypocritical in that she criticizes her student, Kay, for divulging information about their treasure hunt to the press, but Marian herself blabs about all kinds of details when confronted with 2 reporters.

Supporting characters were perfectly fine, though my opinion of them varies. I very much liked Seneca, the quartermaster, whose backstory hints at being an escaped slave and who takes Hannah under his wing. Seneca's motivations are mysterious, but it's evident that he's a good man, even if he's a pirate. I disnt quite buy his relationship with Hannah towards the end of the story, but its such a small part that I dont think i can complain too much.

Ned Low, on the other hand, didn't strike a very imposing figure. He was capricious and violent, but rather than make him stand out, such changeability only made it hard to get a handle on him. As a result, I felt like he was something of a non-entity, just a vehicle for senseless violence. The same was true of Will Fly; while his hanging supposedly has a bug impact on Hannah, it didn't have much of an impact on me, the reader, so I wasn't convinced that he was important.

TL;DR: A True Account is a rather middling pirate story with a fun yet surface-level adventure at the heart. Despite one POV character being unlikable and the 1930s plot being rather empty, the swashbuckling story was enjoyable enough, and it may appeal to lovers of pirate tales.

The 1930s supporting characters were also somewhat varied. Kay, Marian's student, was initially likeable for her enthusiasm and her desire for adventure. Over time, however, she became ridiculous. She grated on me when she blabbed to the press, and her motivations for seeking adventure felt a little far-fetched (surely there are better ways and why would the Press care so much about a random student anyway?).

Marian's father also didn't feel like much of a person. He's a famous explorer, but there wasn't much about his characterization that made me sympathize with Marian's desire to earn his approval. I wasn't dazzled by his exploits or by his knowledge of pirate history, and there weren't any anecdotes that hinted at an emotional rift between father and daughter. He just kind of seemed to be there, and he was only important because he was funding the expedition.

LCC tram No. 118 @ Beresford Square in 1908 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph of London County Council Tramways (LCC) B class tram No. 118 in Beresford Square, showing a 'Wickham Lane' destination blind box. The building behind and to the right of the tram is the goods office of the 'London & North Western Railway'. The photo reverse is initialled as being from the "ADP (A. D. Packer - David Packer ) collection". National Library of Scotland old/new overhead maps view:- maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=18.0&lat=5... No. 118 was built as a 'Preston' three-window design open top car in c1903 by the 'Electric Railway and Carriage Co.', seated 22/34, ran on a 4-wheel Brill 21E truck, going into service in 1908. When new it ran from conduit but was soon fitted with a trolley pole, then in 1910/11 it was fitted with a lightweight top cover, the trolley pole being removed. This car shows as being withdrawn from passenger service in Jul 1915, then becoming a sand car ("cars taken out of service - class B" list at the back of LCC Vol 1 by E. R. Oakley, which says "118 - delicensed 01.07.15 - note c (sand car)"), although I can find no further reference to this number being converted to a works car (see Colin Withey information below). 🚃 Thanks to 'Colin Withey' for this information:- "Unfortunately, in Vol 1 Ted accepted what the late John Wills had given regarding the surrender of 118's MSC licence but did not link it to Vol 2in which a view taken by the late Frank (DWK) Jones is shown of 118 as a double deck snow-plough. 118 did not survive the post-WW1 clear out of the surviving Class B cars after the selection of those structurally better Class Bs cut-down as snow-brooms. The only Sand Van LCC converted from a passenger car was 015 from Class C." 🚃 🚃 Thanks to 'JB (KK 69521)' for the information in this comment:- www.flickr.com/photos/fred_bear/52795548740/#comment72157... 🚃 If there are any errors in the above description please let me know.

Call of the Forest: the forgotten wisdom of trees  on Amazon 

Ahhh, this is a beautiful film!  Please watch it.  

“The Call of the Forest film and movement is a call for massive, global reforestation to reverse climate change. If we could look back in time we would see forests blanketing the continents. But as human society has developed we have lost upwards of ninety five percent of the world’s forests and we continue to lose more than one hundred and forty square kilometres of forest per day. Only 5% of the world’s old growth native forests currently remain today.”

Jersey 2019 - Teil 8 A

Herrschaften!

Der Sommer ist da! Was hatten wir zu Beginn der Woche schon für ein Mist-Wetter - so haben wir es heute, für britische Verhältnisse, geradezu brüllend heiß.

Unsere neuen irischen Freunde aus Belfast, die hier schon bereits 30 Jahre ihren Urlaub verbringen, erzählten uns heute Morgen folgende Begebenheit:

da sagt der Rezeptionist zu einem Urlauberpaar:

It´s very hot today!

No, it´s not!

Yes, it is 26 degrees.

We are from Australia......

Da sieht man es wieder: es ist alles eine Frage des persönlichen Standpunktes. Für den einen ist es sommerlich heiß, für den anderen ist es ein frühlingshafter Tag.

Heute machten wir uns auf den Weg nach St. Helier, in die Hauptstadt der Insel Jersey. Wir wollten ein wenig bummeln, ein bisschen shoppen und außerdem mussten ja noch einige dieser Paycards, dieser Park-Tickets, verbraten werden.

Jersey, insbesondere die Hauptstadt St. Helier, gilt auf den Kanalinseln als erste Adresse für Shopping-Begeisterte. Die breiten Flaniermeilen sind reine Fußgängerzonen und bieten einen bunten Mix aus internationalen Markenboutiquen und einheimischen Läden. 

Die Haupteinkaufszone erstreckt sich über vier Fußgängerstraßen: King Street, Queen Street, Bath und Halkett Street. In diesem Viertel gibt es erstklassige Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.

Sicherlich fährt kaum jemand nur zum Shoppen auf die Kanalinsel Jersey, aber etwas Zeit sollte man sich für einen Bummel durch die Einkaufsstraßen der Hauptstadt St. Hélier schon nehmen. Denn dort finden sich exklusive Geschäfte, Läden mit maritimen Accessoires und natürlich auch kleinere Läden mit typisch britischer Mode.

Das Zentrum von Saint Helier lässt sich bequem zu Fuß erkunden. Unser Weg führt uns durch die Fußgängerzone der "Queen Street" und "King Street". In der Mitte dieses Weges befindet sich ein, mit weißen Steinen eingerahmtes, anderes Pflaster. Das sind Markierungen für blinde Menschen.

Die Gebäude rechts und links sind mit wunderschön blühenden Blumengondeln  geschmückt. Wer die wohl regelmäßig begießt? Wie wir erfahren, ist das nicht nötig, denn sie sind über dünne Schläuche an eine zentrale Wasserversorgungsanlage angeschlossen. Man muss schon sehr genau hinsehen, um diese Schläuche  zu erkennen.

Nördlich der Broad Street beginnt die King Street, Saint Heliers Haupt-Einkaufsstraße. Sie hieß ursprünglich „La Rue de Derrière” und wurde zu Ehren von König George II.umbenannt. In der nett angelegten Fußgängerzone finden sich zahlreiche Schmuck- und Bekleidungsgeschäfte sowie einige Warenhäuser.

Von den Geschäften im viktorianischen und Regency-Stil sind noch einige erhalten. Man pflegt durchaus die ungezwungene, französische Lebensart auf der Insel, die nur 22 Kilometer von der Normandie-Küste entfernt ist.

Ein Einkaufserlebnis der ganz besonderen Art bietet ein Besuch der Märkte: Central Markt und Beresford (Fischmarkt) vor wunderschöner viktorianischer Kulisse, die schon seit 200 Jahren bestehen und zum historischen Erbe der Stadt gehören.

Hier werden frisches Obst und Gemüse sowie köstliche einheimische Snacks feilgeboten. Ein Highlight, das bei keinem Besuch fehlen darf, ist das altehrwürdige Geschäft namens „Red Triangle“, das sich am Ende des Central Market befindet.

Ein buntes Allerlei drängt sich malerisch in diesem kleinen Geschäft, in dem noch immer die Original-Holzregale zu bestaunen sind. Das Produktangebot reicht von Gepäckstücken und Modellbausätzen bis hin zu einem Sammelsurium an Haushaltsartikeln.

Im Mai 1800 wurden die öffentlichen Märkte vom zentralen Royal Square zum Halkett Place verlegt. Von 1803 bis 1806 wurde hier der erste Markt errichtet, dessen Vorbild der Markt von Bath war: kein Gebäude, sondern einzelne Stände mit Pultdächern unter freiem Himmel. Der heutige Central Market wurde 1881 von Thomas W. Helliwell erbaut.

In der viktorianischen Halle gibt es etwa 50 Verkaufsstände für Blumen, Obst, Gemüse, Fleisch, Geflügel, sonstige Lebensmittel und Feinkost. Natürlich dürfen ein paar Imbißstände nicht fehlen.

Der Springbrunnen am zentralen Platz unter der Glaskuppel ist 4,5 Meter hoch und hat drei Ebenen, über die das Wasser in das unterste Becken kaskadiert. Jährlich werden hier Münzen für etwa 5000 Pfund hineingeworfen. 

Beachtenswert ist auch die Eisenkonstruktion des Daches. Zierliche Säulen mit kleinen korinthischen Kapitellen tragen rot angestrichene Eisenträger mit filigranen Verzierungen sowie dem Jersey-Wappen mit drei goldenen Löwen und der Krone. 

Moderne Leichtbaupanele ersetzen nun die 80 Tonnen Glas des Glasdaches. Sieben Tore bilden den Zugang aus allen Richtungen der Stadt. Viele Einheimische trifft man und natürlich auch Touristen, vornehmlich aus Frankreich und Deutschland. Überhaupt sind wir doch über die hohe Anzahl an deutschen Urlaubern sehr erstaunt.

Öffnungszeiten für den Central Market, Halkett Place:

Montag bis Samstag 7:30 Uhr bis 17:30 Uhr

Do bis 14 Uhr

In der Beresford Street an der Nordseite des Central Market befindet sich der wesentlich kleinere, 1841 erbaute, Beresford Fish Market. Eindrucksvoll ist das Angebot an fangfrischem Fisch und an Krustentieren.

Überraschenderweise riecht man den Fisch schon von weitem. Es mag heute der Windrichtung geschuldet gewesen sein, dass wir uns in der Nähe des Fischmarktes wähnten, ohne es genau zu wissen.

Öffnungszeiten für den Beresford Fish Market Market:  Montag bis Samstag von 7:30 Uhr -17:30 Uhr

Den 2. Teil des heutigen Tages gibt es heute Abend!

Good Day!

Angie, Micha und der Hasenbär

An interesting piece on The Ton's schedule for the "Season". The opening of Parliament & the weather set the start dates while heat and a smelly Thames ended it quickly.

Spring And The Season

The London season—a time of balls, riding in Hyde Park, and otherwise socializing in Regency England. But when was the Season?There’s actually no official dates for when things started or ended. In general, those with a political interest—or who wished to vote on issues—would be in London for Parliament’s season. The dates Parliament might meet were anywhere from November on through to June or July. In summer, London became both hot and the Thames stank of sewage. Everyone who could fled London for the countryside and stayed there for autumn hunting, fishing, and shooting. Some years push Parliament’s session dates to January, or even to February, as in 1816—a year with terrible weather.In 1816, snow was reported as falling on Easter Sunday (which fell on April 14) in London, and in general, a London spring could be wet and cold.Easter—or just before—was often the time to head to London. Between 1800 and 1820, most dates for Easter fell in April (the earliest being April 1 in 1804 and April 2 in 1809), but in 1806, 1812 and 1818, Easter fell in March.The weather and roads would have improved by March, and London’s social scene would be starting. While May and June seem to be the most active months to judge by reports in newspapers of the periods, grand balls were not unknown in March.On March 18, 1801, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn held a ball at their London townhouse in Grosvenor Square, and then held another ball on March 24, 1801—a busy social couple.📷Lady Anne Jane Gore, Marchioness of Abercorn, 3rd wife of the 1st Marquis (d. 1827) ca. 1800, New Orleans Museum of Art.The Morning Post reported “The Marchioness of Abercorn’s first entertainment since her marriage was a splendid Ball, on Wednesday evening, at the family residence in Grosvenor-square…The following distinguished personages formed a part of the assemblage, amounting to upwards of three hundred, present at the Ball: The Prince of Orange, Prince William of Gloucester, Dukes: Gloucester, Cumberland, Bourbon, and Somerset, Duchesses: Montrose, Bolton, Gordon and Somerset…”The ball started at 11 PM, and it was noted that “In the dining-room were placed six round tables, for parties of twelve; in the eating room below, seven tables for the same number; and, in the parlour, a long table for sixty. At half after one o’clock supper was announced; it was a hot supper, and served up in plate and china of great beauty; the dishes, ornaments, &c. displayed great taste. No frame work was used, but branched lights, in magnificent silver candlesticks, supplied their place. Turtle soup was generally introduced, and French beans and asparagus were among the novelties of the season.” Dancing began again at half past two in the morning and went on until a quarter past five.The second ball hit a big of a snag in that in mid March, The Morning Chronicle carried the announcement from the Lord Chamberlain of official mourning for her Royal Highness Philippina Charlotte, Duchess Dowager of Brunswick—and a granddaughter of George I—between the 19th of March and the 30th of April. However, the Prince of Wales did attend that second ball. During official Court mourning, the nobility were expected to follow deep mourning, mourning, then half mourning dress, and to be less frivolous. But if a ball was planned, with invitations sent, a ball must be held.March also might be a time for the Queen’s Drawing room and presentation at court.The Times reported on the Queen’s Drawing room that was held on March 8, 1810, with presentations of Lady George Beresford by the Countess of Arran, Miss Harriet Thornton by her mother, Mrs Thornton, Lady Charlotte Graham by her mother, the Duchess of Montrose, Mr Roust Broughton by his father, Lady Mary Sackville by her mother, the Duchess of Dorset, the two Misses Wellesley Pole by their mother, Mrs Pole, Mr Villiers upon his return from Portugal, and Major-General Sir Stapleton Cotton on his return from Portugal and on coming to his title.In March, balls might be planned, wardrobes needed to be refreshed, invitations would be going out, and

the mad whirl could continue on through to June and into early July.In August and September, those with country estates would be looking to head there for shooting, fishing, and then fox hunting would start up in late October or November, with the first hard frost. The following spring, the social scene would begin again.To find out more about the social whirl of spring and the London season— https://www.regencydances.org/paper039.php https://www.regencyhistory.net/2013/05/when-was-london-season.html https://www.regencyhistory.net/2021/10/drawing-room-presentations-regency.html http://www.regencyresearcher.com/pages/royalmourning.html

Caroline Agnes Horsley-Beresford, Duchess of Montrose (1818-1894) who used the pseudonym "Mr Manton", of 45 Belgrave Square, London and Sefton Lodge, Newmarket, was a notable racehorse owner, a "wildly extravagant woman" who "strode across the racing scene". She was known as the "Red Duchess", from both her scarlet racing colours (inherited from her second husband) and her habit of dressing from head to foot in that colour at race meetings. It was said of her in one of her obituaries that "few women in England create more stir in all classes of society". She betted heavily, hardly ever missed attending a race meeting where her horses were competing, and associated almost exclusively with followers of the turf.
