Society of Civil Engineers made the statement
In an obituary of his son in 1917 that in 1912
bloyds at London rated the Westons as the
greatest shipping concern in the world.
The Weston fleet was nearly a hundred sail
and careful balance was maintained between
East Indiamen (ships), medium sized briggs for
the Mediterranean and West India trade and
the smaller schooners for the Grand Bank
fisheries and coasting trade

enterprise was the completeness of its func-

Duxbury was great nursery for shipmas-
tcrs Out of her population of less than
5000 persons in 1910 she had forty-three
deep water masters on the sea She further
had some sixty fishing and whaling shippers
IN active service, and there were from ten to
eighteen vessels building OF the ways
The people and their houses showed the ef-
feet of their broad horizons. Duxbury folks
were unusually we'll informed on geography
and the customs of distant lands. Their
houses were filled with furniture bric-a brac,
curios and pictures from the four corners of
the earth. The women dressed in China
silks, Italian satins, gloves and shoes, French
laces and jewelry, in a manner not common
in the country at that time Such was the
result of contact with the great trading ports
of the world
The shpmasters' homes became SO distinc-
tive that to-day the type is quite generally
known among architects as the Duxbury
house. The oldtimers called them square
rugged houses, owing to their simple. square
design, little adorned beyond the front door.
There are about seventy-fve of them stand
ing to-day.
The ship masters sailed in those days when
stirring adventure was the rule Of the sea-
The ships were small and the stakes were
large, but to win them took courage and
skill. There is, for instance, the case of Cap
tain Amasa Delano, typical master, who re-
turned financially ruined from a venture in
Eastern waters. He conquered his breaking
spirit and with characteristic energy began
work in his fathers shipyard, for he, too, was
a shipwright.

Wadsworth a ship, which the young man ac-

masters of the period.
