Histori

Salem is located at the mouth of the Naumkeag river at the site of an ancient American Indian village and trading center. Europe first settled in 1626, when a fishing company arrived from Cape Ann, led by Roger Conant. Conant's leadership provided stability to survive the first two years, but John Endecott, one of the newcomers, replaced him with a Massachusetts Bay Company order. Conant gracefully stepped aside and was given 200 acres (0.81 km) of land for compensation. These "New Planters" and "Old Planters" agree to work together, largely due to the diplomacy of Conant and Endecott. In recognition of this peaceful transition to a new government, the name of the settlement was changed to Salem, a memorized word for "peace" in Hebrew (????, shalom ) mentioned many times in the Bible and associated with Jerusalem.

In 1628, Endecott ordered that the Great House (the "Governor") be moved from Cape Ann, reinstalling it in what is now Washington Road north of Church Street. When Higginson arrived in Salem, he wrote that "we found a new house built for the Governor" which is remarkable because of the high two levels. A year later, the Massachusetts Bay Charter was issued creating the Massachusetts Bay Colony with Matthew Craddock as its governor in London and Endecott as its governor in the colony. John Winthrop was elected governor at the end of 1629, and arrived with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630, one of the many events that initiated the Great Migration.

In 1639, Endecott's was one of the signatures on a building contract to enlarge a meeting house in the Town House Square for the First Church in Salem. This document remains part of city records at City Hall. He is active in municipal affairs throughout his life. Samuel Skelton was the first pastor of the First Church of Salem, which is the original Puritan church in North America. Endecott already has a close relationship with Skelton, who has been converted by him, and Endecott considers him his spiritual father.

Roger Conant died in 1679 at age 87; a huge statue that commemorates her standing over Salem Common.

Salem initially included many of the North Shore, including Marblehead. Most of the defendants in Salem magician's court live near "Salem Village", now known as Danvers, although some live on the outskirts of Salem. The village of Salem also includes Peabody and part of Beverly at the moment. Middleton, Topsfield, Wenham, and Manchester-by-the-Sea were once part of Salem.

Puritans come to Massachusetts to gain their own religious freedom, but have no special interest in building paradise for other religions. The law is harsh, with penalties including fines, property deprivation, expulsion, or imprisonment.

One of Salem's most widely recognized aspects is the history of witches' allegations, which in many popular accounts began with Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, and their friends playing with Venus (mirror) glass and eggs. The Salem Witchcraft Trials began in 1692, and 20 people were executed as a result of witchcraft allegations. Salem is also significant in legal history as the site of the trial of Dorthy Talbye, where a mentally ill woman is hanged for killing her daughter because Massachusetts does not differentiate between the madness and criminal behavior.

William Hathorne was a prosperous businesswoman in early Salem and became one of his prominent citizens in the early colonial period. He led troops to victory in the War of King Philip, served as a judge in the highest court, and was elected the first speaker of the House of Representatives. He is an advocate who is passionate about the private rights of free people to messengers and agents of the kingdom. His son Judge John Hathorne became famous at the end of the 17th century, when people in general believed that magic was real. Nothing causes more fear in the Puritan community than people who seem to be possessed by demons, and magic is a serious crime. Judge Hathorne is the most famous of the magistrate magistrate judges, and he is known as the "Hanging Judge" to punish magicians to death.

Salem and the Revolutionary War

On February 26, 1775, the patriots lifted a suspension bridge in the Northern River, preventing British Colonel Alexander Leslie and his 300 troops from the 64th Leg Regiment from seizing the shops and ammunition hidden in North Salem. A few months later, in May 1775, a group of prominent merchants with links to Salem, including Francis Cabot, William Pynchon, Thomas Barnard, EA Holyoke, and William Pickman, felt it necessary to publish statements that deprive what some have interpreted as tendencies the Loyalists and to express their dedication to the Colonial cause.

During the American Revolution, the city became the center for privateering. Although the documentation is incomplete, about 1,700 Marque Letters, published on a per trip basis, were given during the Revolution. Nearly 800 ships are assigned as privateers, and are credited with capturing or destroying about 600 British ships. During the War of 1812, piracy returned.

Trade with Pacific and Africa

After the American Revolution, many ships used as privateers were too large for short shipping in the cruise trade, and their owners were determined to open new trade routes to distant countries. The young men in the town, who had just operated on Salem's gunboats, were eager to start such a business. Captain Nathaniel Silsbee, his first mate Charles Derby, and second partner Richard J. Cleveland were not yet twenty years old when they sailed in the nineteen-month journey that was probably the first of the newly independent Americans to the East Indies. In 1795, Captain Jonathan Carnes sailed to Sumatra in the Malay Archipelago in his secret journey for pepper; nothing was heard from him until eighteen months later, when he came in with a large quantity of pepper, first imported into the country, and which was sold at an extraordinary profit of seven hundred percent. The Empress of China, formerly a privateer, was reassembled as the first American ship to sail from New York to China. In 1790 Salem was the sixth largest city in the country, and the world-famous port - especially in China Trade, along with cod export to Europe and the West Indies, imported sugar and molasses from West Indies, tea from China, and products which is depicted on the seal of the city from the Indies - particularly the Sumatran pepper. The Salem ships also visited Africa - Zanzibar in particular, Russia, Japan, and Australia.

The neutrality of the United States was tested during the Napoleonic Wars. After the Chesapeake-Leopard affair, President Thomas Jefferson was faced with a decision to make a decision about the situation at hand. In the end, he chose the economic option: the Embargo Act of 1807. Jefferson basically closed all ports overnight, dampening the port city of Salem. The 1807 embargo was the starting point on the road to the War of 1812 with Great Britain. Both the United Kingdom and France impose trade restrictions to weaken their respective economies. It also has the effect of disrupting American trade and testing the neutrality of the United States. As time went by, the harassment of American ships by the British Navy increased. This includes the impression and irregularities of American people and goods.

The Salem-India Story by Vanita Shastri tells the adventures of Salem sailors who connect the far corners of the world through trade. This period (1788-1845) marks the beginning of US international relations, long before the wave of globalization of the 21st century. It reveals the global trade connections Salem has established with far-off land, which is a source of livelihood and prosperity for many. Charles Endicott, ruler of the Salem Friendship trader, returned in 1831 to report the indigenous Sumatrans had looted his ship, killing the first officer and two crew. Following public condemnation, President Andrew Jackson ordered Potomac on the First Sumatra Expedition, which left New York City on August 19, 1831. It also led to the mission of diplomat Edmund Roberts, who negotiated an agreement with Said bin Sultan, Sultan Muscat and Oman on September 21, 1833. In 1837, the sultan moved his main residence to Zanzibar and welcomed the citizens of Salem, Richard Waters, as consul of the United States in the early years.

The East Indies Heritage and Old Chinese Trade

The Old China Trade left significant marks in two historic districts, Chestnut Street District, part of the Samuel McIntire Historic District containing 407 buildings, and Salem National Maritime History Site, which consists of 12 historic buildings and about 9 acres (36,000 m²) from landing along the waterfront in Salem. Elias Hasket Derby is one of the richest and most famous of the post-Revolution merchants in Salem. Derby is also the owner of Grand Turk, the first New England ship to trade directly with China and both sailed from the United States after Empress of China. Thomas H. Perkins was his supercargo and established strong ties with China and accumulated Forbes wealth through the sale of illegal opium.

Salem was founded as a city on March 23, 1836, and adopted the seal of the city in 1839 with the motto "Divis Indiae usque ad ultimum sinum ", Latin for "Go to rich East Indies until the last round." Nathaniel Hawthorne was Salem's port controller from 1846 to 1849. He worked at US Customs across the street from the harbor near Pickering Wharf, his position for the start of The Scarlet Letter. In 1858, an amusement park was established at Juniper Point, a peninsula that jutted into the harbor. Prosperity leaves the city with a wealth of fine architecture, including Federal-style houses designed by one of America's first architects, Samuel McIntire, named after the city's largest historic district. These homes and mansions now comprise the largest concentration of famous pre-1900 domestic buildings in the United States.

Delivery declined throughout the 19th century. Salem and its whitening harbor were further defeated by Boston and New York City nearby. As a result, the city turns into manufacturing. Industries include tanners, shoe factories, and Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company. More than 400 homes were destroyed in the Great Salem Fires in 1914, causing 3,500 families to be displaced by fire that started at the Korn Leather Factory on 57th Street in Boston. The historic concentration of Federal architecture on Chestnut Street is spared from the devastation by fire, where they still exist to this day. A current warning plaque exists where the Korn Leather Factory once stood, in what is now a Walgreens store.

Air Station and National Guard

Coast Guard Air Station Salem was founded on February 15, 1935 when the US Coast Guard established a new seaplane facility in Salem because there was no room to expand Gloucester Air Station on Ten Pound Island. Coast Guard Air Station Salem is located in Winter Island, an extension of Salem Neck that stands out onto Salem Harbor. Search and rescue, hunting of displaced persons, and medical evacuation are the main areas of responsibility of the station. During the first year of operation, the Salem crew conducted 26 medical evacuations. They fly in all types of weather, and the aircraft's radio navigation capability has a significant value in finding ships in a depressed state.

During World War II (1939-45), flight crew from Salem flew neutral patrols along the coast, and the Air Station list grew to 37 aircraft. The anti-submarine patrols are flown regularly. In October 1944, Air Station Salem was officially designated as the first Marine-Water Rescue Station on the east coast. Martin PBM Mariner, detention from war, became the primary rescue aircraft. In the mid-1950s, helicopters came, as did the GRumman HU-16 Albatross (UFs) amphibious aircraft.

Air station missions include search and rescue, law enforcement, count migratory waterfowls for the US Biological Survey, and help ice islands by providing provisions.

The facility that survives at this station is part of Winter Island Marine Park in Salem. Salem Harbor is deep enough to host a seadrome with three sea lanes, offering various titles taking off regardless of the wind direction except for strong strong winds from the east. It produces large waves that sweep into the port's mouth, making water operations difficult. When seadrome is too rough, return the seaplane will use the Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Beverly. Salem Air Station moved to Cape Cod in 1970.

In 2011, the City of Salem completed plans for a 20-hectare (20-acre) Winter Island Park and faced opposing populations carrying two windmill power plants to the end of Winter Island. The Renewable Energy Task Force, along with Energy and Sustainability Manager Paul Marquis, has recommended the construction of a 1.5-megawatt power turbine at the tip of Winter Island, which is the furthest point from where to live and where wind is the strongest.

Park area of ​​nearly 30 hectares has been opened to the public since the early 1970s. In 2011, the master plan was developed with the help of the planning and design company, Cecil Group of Boston and Bioengineering Group of Salem. The city of Salem paid $ 45,000 in federal money. In the long run, the projected cost for rehabilitating only the barracks is $ 1.5 million. But in the short run, there are some items at a lower cost, such as the proposed $ 15,000 kayak dock or $ 50,000 to relocate and upgrade the baths. This is a very important project since Fort Pickering guarded Salem Harbor as far back as the 17th century.

Appointment as National Guard Birthplace

In 1637, the first ballot was held at Salem Common, where for the first time the militia regiment was drilled for public defenses from multi-community areas, thus laying the groundwork for what became the Army's National Guard. In 1637, the Massachusetts Bay District General Court ordered the organizations of the Colony militia companies into Northern, Southern and Eastern Regiments. The colonists adopted the British militia system, which required all men between the ages of 16 and 60 to have weapons and participate in community defense.

On August 19, 2010, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick signed HB1145, "An Act Determining the City of Salem as the Birthplace of the National Guard." It was later approved by the US House of Representatives in March 2012, and signed into law by President Barack Obama on January 10, 2013. This executive order establishes the City of Salem, Mass., As the birthplace of the US National Guard.

Every April, Second Corps Cadets gather in front of St. Episcopal Church Peter, where the corpse of their founder, Stephen Abbott, is buried. They laid a wreath, played "Taps" and fired a 21-gun salute. In another annual anniversary, soldiers gathered at Old Salem Armory in honor of the soldiers killed in battle at Lexington and Concord. On April 14, 2012, Salem celebrated the 375th anniversary of the first meeting in Salem Common, with more than 1,000 soldiers taking part in ceremonies and parades.

World record for Federal furniture

In 2011, the mahogany side seats with carvings performed by Samuel McIntire were sold at auction for $ 662,500. The price sets a world record for Federal furniture. McIntire was one of the first architects in the United States, and his work is a prime example of early Federal style architecture. Elias Hasket Derby, Salem's richest trader and considered to be the first millionaire in America, and his wife, Elizabeth Crowninshield, bought eight seats from McIntire.

The Samuel McIntire Historic District is one of the largest concentrations of 17th and 18th century domestic structures in America. This includes McIntyre commissions such as Peirce-Nichols House and Hamilton Hall. The Witch House or Jonathan Corwin House (circa 1642) is also located in the district. Samuel McIntyre's home and workshop is located at 31 Summer Street in what is now the Samuel McIntire History District.

Ferry Salem

The Nathaniel Bowditch is a 92-foot (28 m) high-speed catamaran that traveled from Salem to Boston in 50 minutes from May to October and made its maiden voyage on June 22, 2006. The Salem Ferry is named after Nathaniel Bowditch, who came from Salem and wrote American Practical Navigator . Ownership increases every year from 2006 to 2010, when it peaked by 89,000, but in 2011 services were reduced due to dramatic fuel price increases. Ferry Salem anchored at the lThe Derby Waterfront District.

The ferry was bought by the City of Salem with the use of grant money that covers 90 percent of the purchase price of $ 2.1 million. Due to a reduction in service during the 2011 season, Mayor Kim Driscoll is now looking for a new operator that can run the ferry seven days a week from May to October.

For the 2012 Boston Harbor Cruises season will take over the Ferry Salem road with seven days of service and commute ferries Monday to Friday 7 am to Boston. Ferry Salem will be running seven days a week for 2012 season starting in the first weekend in June and going to Halloween.

Boston Harbor Cruises, a contractor that operates the city's commuter ferry to Boston, runs the largest and fastest ship between Salem and Hingham for the last two weekends in October. The company's high speed ferry service to Provincetown ended in October, freeing its 600 passengers to serve between Salem and Hingham. The ferry ride between Hingham and Salem takes an hour. With traffic, especially around Halloween, the journey between Salem and Hingham can be three hours or more.

For the 2013 season, services are expected to start in the last week of May. Salem City Council approved a five-year contract with Boston Harbor Cruises to operate the city's commuter ferry from 2013 to 2017. Also new for the 2013 season, Boston Harbor Cruises will offer a 20 percent discount for Salem residents for non-commuter tickets. The city of Salem has approved a seasonal restaurant with a liquor license at The Salem Ferry dock to be operated by Boston Harbor Cruises. The plan is to build a building of 600 square feet (56 m) or patio seating.

The program starts in 2011 with a fleet of 20 bikes and is shared between two hubs, at Salem State University and downtown, near Hawthorne Hotel. In 2011, Salem earned $ 25,000 from the Green Community grant program, which led to the purchase of a bicycle fleet. Fees are charged to the participant's credit card only if they return the bike late or damaged. Currently, Salem Spins is open only for people over the age of 18. But the city is considering changing that, says Marquis, as well as making bike maps for the participants and offering "season tickets" where bicycles can be used for more. from one day at a time.

Car payload program

Salem has eight stations where drivers can charge their electric cars. The Four is located at Museum Place Mall near Peabody Essex Museum and the other four are in the South Harbor garage across the street from the Salem Waterfront Hotel.

These include NSMC Salem Hospital and NSMC Union Hospital, as well as ambulatory care and urgent care. The NSMC medical staff includes nearly 600 affiliated doctors representing primary care, family practice, and 50 additional sub-specialties.

The Salem NSMC is a general medical and surgical hospital, which has 395 beds. The hospital has 19,467 receipts in the last year whose data is available. It performed 4,409 yearly admissions and 7,955 outpatients. The Emergency Department has 90,149 visits in 2012.

Waterfront redevelopment

The first step in rebuilding was in 2006, when the State of Massachusetts gave Salem $ 1,000,000. Most of the money - $ 750,000 - is allocated for the acquisition of Blaney Street landing, a private, 2-acre (8,100 m ² ) off Derby Street site used by ferries, and Salem Port. Another $ 200,000 was approved for the design of the new Salem dock, a large dock planned for the landing, which officials said could be used by small cruise ships, commercial boats and fishing boats. In June 2012, $ 1.75 million was awarded by the state of Massachusetts and will launch the first phase of dredging and construction of a 100 foot (30 m) extension of the dock; a harborwalk to improve pedestrian access; and other lighting, landscaping and paving repairs. Dredging will allow the city to attract other ferries, yachts and cruises up to 250 feet (76 m).

In October 2010, Mayor Driscoll announced that the city would formally acquire Blaney Street's package from Dominion Energy, paving the way for the Salem Wharf project. The city of Salem earned $ 1.25 million from the Massachusetts Seaport Advisory Council and a $ 2.5 million dollar federal grant to move forward with the construction of the project. The city acquired the package with the help of $ 1.7 million grant received from the Port Advisory Board.

The Salem City Plan requires the total construction of the current Blaney Street pier, known as the Salem Wharf project. When completed, the Blaney Street pier will be home to small to medium sized cruises, commercial boats and Ferry Salem. This project is fully engineered and permitted.

In 2010, in the early stage work to be completed for the 2011 season, contractors run underground utility cables and set up temporary terminal buildings to be used by Ferry Salem, replacing current trailers. The building will have an indoor bathroom - the first on the ferry landing - along with a lounge area and perhaps an outdoor area with a tent. Also new for 2011 is a lot of paved with about 140 parking spaces replacing the existing dirt parking area.

Also in 2011, the construction crew built a long seawall on the landing of Blaney Street, which stretches from the edge of the ferry dock back to Derby Street and along the inner harbor. This is one of the early and key parts of Salem Wharf, which the city is expected to finish in 2014 and is key to finally bringing a cruise to Salem.

At the end of the 2011 Ferry Salem season, in late fall 2011, after the ferry season ends, the contractor will begin to build the first section of the T-shaped pier, 350 feet (110 m). Jobs at that stage are scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2012. In April 2011, the City of Salem has earned half of the $ 20 million and is still needed to secure about $ 10 million in state and federal funds to complete this seafront pier.

Salem Harbor Power Station

In May 2011, after years of legal battles, protests, and one recent fatal accident, the owners of the Salem Harbor Power Plant announced it would close the facility permanently. Salem Harbor Station is a 60-year-old power plant owned by Dominion of Virginia. With the approval of ISO New England, the 60-year-old coal and oil plant is closed for good in June 2014.

The city of Salem was awarded a $ 200,000 grant from the Clean Energy Center before the plant's closure. This grant is used to plan the reuse of the property. Salem City reached out to state and federal officials to ask for their cooperation and assistance in planning for the future and for providing money, in an effort to clean up the 62-acre site.

Footprint Power, New Jersey-based energy company, announced on June 29, 2012, that it has signed an agreement to acquire Salem Harbor Station from Dominion Energy of Virginia. The Power of Tread is planned to destroy a 63 acre site with a towering chimney, a coal pile, and an oil tank. A city study estimates a cleaning fee of more than $ 50 million. The final plan is to develop a new sophisticated natural gas plant on a third of the original site, reported along the Fort Avenue side near the landing of the city ferry. The remainder of the waterfront property will eventually be used for commercial and industrial rebuilding, the company said. "This transition will not only stabilize our property tax base, but also provide cleaner, more efficient and reliable energy." Footprint says its plan is consistent with recommendations from city studies completed earlier that year on future use of power plant sites. The city of Salem requires a Footprint to destroy factories and existing piles. "We will return about 30 to 40 hectares of our waters into a vibrant and prosperous past." Mayor Kim Driscoll said he has not done "detailed" details with the Trace, but has been encouraged by discussions so far. Beginning in December 2013, there are many requests made from various groups that do not want the factory to be rebuilt. The main opponent to fight in court is the Conservation Law Foundation, a leading environmental advocacy group that intends to block the plant from being built.

Some special episodes of this series were actually filmed in Salem, and TV Land said that the statue commemorates the 35th anniversary of the episodes. The statue was carved by StudioEIS under the direction of Elliott's brother and Ivan Schwartz.
