The Voyages of the Ark and the Dove

Ark and Dove on the water Maryland Historical Society

On June 20, 1632, King Charles I of England granted Cecilius Calvert, Second Baron Baltimore, proprietorship and vice-regal powers for a new colony named Maryland. By mid-summer 1633, Baltimore had chartered a full-rigged ship, the Ark of London (a.k.a. Ark of Maryland) of about 350 tons to carry the first 130 to 150 settlers and supplies to the new colony. (Tons refers to tons burden, a measure of space available for cargo unless said to be weight). He also acquired a small vessel, the Dove "of the burthen of ffortie tons," to accompany the Ark as its pinnace (a tender and scout) and to carry some baggage and supplies.

Leaving England

In mid-October 1633 after fitting out at Blackwall, the Ark and the Dove dropped down the Thames to anchor off Gravesend where they were to take on stores and passengers. Soon after that, John Coke, the Secretary of State, sent an urgent dispatch to Admiral John Pennington: "The Ark of London, Richard Lowe, master, carrying men for Lord Baltimore to his new plantation.sailed from Gravesend contrary to orders" and those aboard had "not.taken the oath of allegiance to the Crown" as they were required to do by a warrant from Whitehall dated July 31. The Ark was intercepted and taken back under guard to Tilbury Hope across from Gravesend. The oath was administered by October 29 and the ships received permission to leave England on October 30, "Provided there be no other person or persons aboard the said shippe or pinnace but such as have or shall have taken the oath of allegiance as aforesaid." The ships then made their way to Cowes on the Isle of Wight where they awaited

favorable weather. They received final instructions from Lord Baltimore on September 15.

On Saturday, November 22, 1633, the Ark and the Dove finally sailed for Maryland, heading west along the south coast of England with fair weather and following winds. On Monday morning the twenth-fourth, she passed the western capes of England. Then on evening of November 25, Father Andrew White, a passenger, wrote: "the wind changed.so violent, and tempestuous as the Draggon [a 600-ton English ship] was forced back to ffamouth [Falmouth] not able to keep the sea..Our master was a very sufficient seaman, and shipp as strong as could be made of oake and iron, 400 tonne kingbuilt; makinge fair weather in great storms. Now the master had his choise, whether he would return England as the Draggon did, or saile so close up to the winde, as if he should not hold it he must necessarily fall upon the Irish shore,.of these two, out of a certaine hardinesse and desire to trie the goodnesse of his shipp, in which he had never been at sea afore, he resolved to keep the sea, with great

danger, wanting sea room."

The Dove was unable to keep at sea in this storm and ran northeast to the Scilly Isles, 30 miles north of the north coast of Cornwall. She was not to be seen again by the Ark until January at Barbados. Then on November 29 the Ark, now alone, encountered very violent weather: ".before we could take in our maine Course [sail] wch we only carried, a furious.winde suddainely came, and split it from top to toae.and then the helme being bound up, and the ship left without saile or government.floated at hull like a dish.[then] by little and little still more.we were with milder weather freed from all those horrours." With better weather the Ark turned southward and sailed past the coast of Spain to the Canary Islands where she turned west southwest for the West Indies.

First Arriving in Maryland

On January 3, 1634, the Ark entered the fortified English port of Bridgetown, Barbados, after a fast passage of forty-three days from Cowes that covered 3,500 to 4,000 nautical miles. By mid-January she was ready to leave when the Dove unexpectedly arrived in company with the Dragon. The Ark and Dove departed northward on January 24, stopping at St. Christophers (now St. Kitts) for ten days and at Point Comfort at the mouth of the James River for eight or nine days. Then they sailed up the Chesapeake Bay to the Potomac River where they reached their first landing place in Maryland on March 24, 1634. By March 27, Governor Leonard Calvert and his advisors had selected a site for their town. They named it St Mary's.

Later Trips

The Ark departed Maryland in late May 1634. By August she was in London being loaded for a return passage with passengers, consignments from Lord Baltimore and goods for merchants and planters in Virginia. She sailed in late September and arrived in Maryland in December 1634. She was back in London by August 1635. Richard Lowe, who had been master of the Ark since mid-1633, died aboard her in the spring of 1639. After her first two round trips to Maryland the Ark could have made four more annual voyages between August 1635 when she took on more guns in London and May 2, 1639, when Richard Lowe's will was probated there.

After her arrival in Maryland, the Dove was used to explore the Potomac and the Chesapeake Bay. Then she was sent to New England to trade for supplies. She arrived in Boston on August 29, 1634. Rather than returning to St. Mary's promptly and directly as ordered, she stayed in Boston until October and then stopped on the way back at Point Comfort, Virginia. By coincidence Leonard Calvert, Maryland's governor, and his two commissioners were in Jamestown when the Dove arrived. They went to Point Comfort for explanations. Richard Orchard, the Dove's captain, claimed the wages due him and his crew had not been paid and refused to sail her until they were. When his claims were not met, all but one of the Dove's crew deserted. The Dove was finally returned to St. Mary's with mariners from Virginia, but a replacement crew to take her to England could not be found until August 1635. She departed then, a year late, but was never heard from again.

------------------------------

On March 25th, each year, Maryland celebrates the anniversary of its founding. Here you can learn all about how the great state began, the Calvert family, and the famous voyage on the Ark and the Dove.

The following is excerpted from the article by John Marck at the Founding of Maryland Website:

The Founding of Maryland

After Columbus made his voyage in 1492, further exploration of this New World began. John Cabot, in 1498 sailed down the east coast to Maryland, and in 1524, Giovanni da Verrazano landed on the coast of the Delmarva Peninsula. During this time, explorers who sailed to the New World, upon finding land would claim this land for their king. Cabot claimed the land he found for King Henry VII of England, and Verrazano for the King of France. England claimed Maryland; however, this was disputed, as Spain claimed that the explorer Pedro Menendez Marques, first saw the Chesapeake Bay and as a result Maryland was Spanish territory.

In attempts to colonize the New World, Spain was quite active, but England moved slowly. In 1580, the English settled in Roanoke, Virginia, but getting supplies was difficult due to the war with Spain. After years of trying to obtain supplies, in 1607 the first successful English colony was established at Jamestown, Virginia. Colony life in these early days was very hard, and killings by Indians and death by disease took a heavy toll. Soon, a leader by the name of Captain John Smith, arrived at Jamestown. He had learned to deal with the Indians and organized the colonists, bringing them through the first cold, very difficult winter. John Smith believed that the Chesapeake Bay extended to the Pacific Ocean. Being curious, he explored the Bay, mapping it as he went. These maps were in use for years to come.

Upon returning to England, John Smith spoke with a young man by the name of William Claiborne, and told him of the land area that later would become Maryland. Claiborne first went to Virginia and mapped the entire state, becoming wealthy as a result. In 1628, Claiborne explored and found Palmer's Island and Kent Island. Liking these islands, he bought them from the Indians and set up trading posts. Having great success, Claiborne was granted a license from King Charles I, to trade in all areas of America not previously given to others. This gave Claiborne great power and status, making him similar in authority to a king.

The Ark and the Dove

On June 30, 1632, the charter of Maryland had been confirmed and published. So, on July 12, 1632, the King directed the Governor of Virginia to assist Lord Baltimore who planned to transport many people to Maryland. In October 1633, the Ark and the Dove departed London, England for Maryland, but were recalled to Gravesend on October 19, because the passengers had not been given the "Oath." About two weeks later in late October, the two ships again departed, stopping at Cowes on the Isle of Wright for roughly a month.

The leaders of this expedition were: Leonard Calvert, lieutenant-governor, who traveled on the Ark, who was representing his brother, Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore. With Leonard was George Calvert, the youngest brother of Leonard and Cecil; Thomas Cornwallis, Esq., and Commissioner; and Jerome Hawley, another Commissioner.

The crew of the Ark, of which there were about forty persons, included Captain Richard Lowe, as Master; John Bowlter, as Purser; and Richard Edwards, a Chirurgeon. The crew of the Dove included: Captain Wintour, its commander; Richard Orchard, its master; Samuel Lawson, the first mate; John Games, its gunner; Richard Kenton, the boatswain; and crew members John Curke, and Nicholas Perrie.

The passengers on the voyage, based on records of Leonard Calvert include the following. Also, in a letter from Leonard Calvert to his brother Cecil, he advised that they had made a stop in Virginia and landed some passengers there, but these are probably from the original passenger list. Furthermore, in a letter from Leonard that described the Christmas celebration aboard the Ark, he mentioned that there were thirty persons who were sick from fever, of whom about twelve died. The passenger list indicated 99 persons, but other records mention maids or household servants, that the passengers brought along, who probably were not counted. The number of passengers varies from the London Searcher report of 128, to about 320 from other sources.

On November 22, 1633, Leonard Calvert set out on the "Ark" and the "Dove" from Cowes Isle, England, on a voyage to Maryland to set up a colony. The Ark, the larger of the two ships had a weight capacity of roughly 350 to 400 tons, while the Dove, being a much smaller ship, had a capacity of only about 50 tons. Historians say that approximately 140 people founded the first Maryland colony, although this number may be between 99 and 140. Many people chosen for this voyage on the Ark and the Dove, such as farmers, carpenters and brick makers, were picked for their particular skills. Equally important to skillful people was having the proper equipment, which had to be transported with them. Both winter and summer clothes had to be taken, also cannons, knives and rifles for protection. Food aboard the ships had to be stored very carefully so as not to spoil. Drinking water and beer were stored in large casks. Great care was taken to also store away plants and seeds needed to grow

food in their farms and gardens. Planning this voyage was well-thought-out. They left on the journey in winter, so they would arrive in spring, in time to plant and grow the necessary foods for the forthcoming winter.

As the Ark and Dove started their voyage, they encountered many problems. After leaving Cowes, England, they came upon large masses of rocks at the Isle of Wight and rough breaking waves, making maneuvering difficult. Due to high winds, they entered the harbor at Yarmouth, about ten miles from Cowes. That evening, the wind caused a French Bark to drag its anchor, which struck the Dove, breaking her free from the harbor. Now, due to the high winds, they were forced to set sail for the open sea. The Ark, observing what happened set sail as well, so as not to be separated from the Dove. Now, on the morning of November 23, they were finally underway.

But other problems faced the crews of the two ships. On the voyage, besides bad weather and rough seas, they also had to deal with pirates and raiders who were in the waters in which they had to sail. One ship they encountered at a distance was an Algerian vessel, which they assumed was hostile, but fortunately were not approached by it.

In planning the voyage, they set their course not directly west to Maryland, due to the Atlantic current, but to the southwest, because the winds were more favorable. Once they reached Barbados they would then have only a northern route.

In comparing the two ships, size was the major difference, and as a result the ships' capabilities differed greatly. The Ark, being a much larger ship traveled better through the rough seas, was better armed and equipped, and had more crew members, with which to fend off pirates and raiders. The Dove in comparison, being so much smaller, did not handle well in rough seas, and was not capable of defending itself well. It seemed that the Dove was destined for problems.

Later in the day on November 23, the Ark and Dove came across another ship, the "Dragon," which was a large, well-armed merchant vessel which was traveling their way. The Dragon therefore acted as a leader, a guide of sorts to follow, which pleased both crews of the Ark and Dove. Four days into the voyage, on November 25, a terrible storm began. The winds were so strong, and the waves so rough that the Dragon turned back toward England. The Captains of the Ark and Dove decided to go on. The Captain of the Dove advised the Ark that they would hang a lantern on the ship's mast so that they (the Ark) could keep them in view. The Captain of the Dove also advised that if they hung two lanterns this meant they were in trouble and needed help. As the night went on, the storm grew worse. Through the storm and strong winds, the crew of the Ark observed two lights coming from the Dove. The Ark, however could not reach the Dove to help her, as it was all they could do to keep themselves

afloat. During the storm the Ark lost sight of the Dove. Throughout the night they tried in vain to sight her. Finally, as the storm subsided and morning came, they hoped to find her, but there was no trace of the Dove.

On November 26, with the fate of the Dove unknown, the Ark sailed alone for Barbados Island. Meanwhile, after finding refuge, once the weather had cleared, the Dove sighted the Dragon once again, and sailed in their company by way of the Canary Islands to Barbados.

The Ark, after passing the Canary Islands finally arrived in Barbados on January 5, 1634. There the crew rested and repaired their ship, damaged in the storm. One day as they were working in the harbor they looked out and saw something they could not believe. Sailing into the harbor was the Dove. Upon speaking with the crew of the Dove it seemed that because the storm was so great, they turned around and sought the shelter of an English port. After the storm they set sail again, crossed the ocean and by providence, in time to meet the Ark. After taking on supplies, the Ark and the Dove continued on their voyage, arriving at Point Comfort, Virginia on February 27, 1634. Here they dropped of some of the passengers as well as delivered some letters from the King.

In early March 1634, the Ark and Dove reached the Chesapeake Bay, bound for the Potomac River to Maryland. The Ark and Dove arrived at Maryland on March 3, 1634. On March 25, they came ashore to celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation, that today we celebrate as Maryland Day.

For several days the crews lived on the ships, while exploring parties looked for a suitable place to start their town. Searching the areas and rivers off the Potomac, they traveled a river called St. George's, which later became St. Mary's. They found an area inside St. Mary's River for the first settlement. This land was owned by the Yaocamicoe Indians. In this search for a suitable place to live, Governor Calvert used Captain Henry Fleet as a guide, because he knew the language of the Indians and was an experienced trader and interpreter. On March 27, 1634, Governor Calvert bought the land from the Yaocamicoes. Once the land was purchased, they sent word back to the crews of the Ark and Dove for them to move to this new town. As the settlers moved into the new town, a celebration began. Dressed in their finest clothes, the new settlers fired cannons and flags were flown. The new village name changed from Yaocamico to St. Mary's City. This name was given in honor of the

Virgin Mary. The Ark eventually returned to England, but the Dove remained in Maryland.

The first black Marylander was Mathias de Sousa. Of African and Portuguese descent, he was one of nine indentured servants brought to Maryland by Jesuit missionaries and was on the Ark when Lord Baltimore's expedition arrived in the St. Mary's River in 1634. His indenture was finished by 1638 and he became a mariner and fur trader. In 1641, he commanded a trading voyage north to the Susquehannock Indians and, in 1642, sailed as master of a ketch belonging to the Provincial Secretary John Lewger. De Sousa departed and returned to the St. Mary's River many times. He anchored here (the location of the Maryland Dove today) and walked to Lewger's Manor House at St. John's. While living there he served in the 1642 legislative assembly of freemen. No record remains of de Sousa's activities after 1642, but his legacy of courage and success is regarded with great pride by all the citizens of St. Mary's County and Maryland. (A plaque dedicated in his honor is located today near the

water's edge in the location of the Maryland Dove).

During this time, the Yaocamico and Susquehannock Indians were enemies. The Yaocamicoes, needing help defending themselves, found the settlers a welcome sight and learned many things from them. They received guns, steel knives and axes, which were used not only for protection but also enabled them to cut trees, farm and build homes. Some of the first homes the settlers built were cut wood with shingled roofs, and not log cabins as most believe. Soon thereafter many homes were made of brick. By the late 1670s, St. Mary's City, Maryland's first capital, had some houses and buildings of fine quality.

Calvert, George (another, younger brother of Lord Baltimore)

Cornwallis, Thomas, Esq., Commissioner

Hawley, Mr. Jerome, Commissioner

Leonard Calvert's letter of May 30, 1634, he said that

they stopped at Virginia to land some passengers there.

Those were most likely from amongst the original passengers,

although they could have taken passage from Barbados or

St. Christophers.

Additionally, a letter describing the Christmas celebration

aboard the Ark stated that "30 sickened of fevers and

whereof about a dozen died afterward."

Another mentions "our mades, which we brought along",

indicating that many of the number were household servants,

most of whom the "London Searcher" would likely not have

counted in his report of "about 128" settlers in the party

"Hotten's Lists"

The Original Lists of Persons of Quality; Emigrants; Religious Exiles; Political Rebels; Serving Men Sold for a Term of Years; Apprentices; Children Stolen; Maidens Pressed; and Others Who Went from Great Britain to the American Plantations 1600-1700.

From Mss. Preserved in the State Paper Department of Her Majesty's Public Record Office, England.

Edited by John Camden Hotten.

Chatto and Windus, Publishers, London, England, 1874.

(Also reprinted by G.A. Baker & Co., Inc., New York, 1931.)

Notes:

This book provides a transcription from a wide variety of original source lists. Some are lists of those having taken the required oath of conformity and allegiance to the Church and Crown. These lists are for those embarking on specific ships, with dates of embarkation given (often well ahead of the actual date of sailing, which is rarely specified). Other lists provide other information regarding emigrants and matters of general interest, but also do provide some scattered information about ship voyages for people listed. Many of the "passenger lists" I am including are compiled from those miscellaneous individual entries.

That portion of Hotten's lists "... During One Whole Year, Ending Christmas, 1635" is an accurate transcription of Public Record Office, Class E 157/20, ff.7v-8v, 2 January 1634/5.

Note: At least one commercial CD version is known to contain significant errors and differences from the original records.

"Adventurers of Purse and Person"

Compiled and edited by Martha Woodroof Hiden, sponsored by the Order of First Families of Virginia, 1607-1620.

Printed by Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, 1956

Notes:

As described in the Preface, the book holds to its intent of presenting the full Muster of 1624/5 and presents three generations from original families of the establishment of the colony of Virginia. Organized by family names and descendency, with various information regarding individuals.

"Cavaliers and Pioneers"

Cavaliers and Pioneers; Abstracts of the Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 1623-1800

Compiled by Nell Marion Nugent, Virginia Land Office, Richmond, Virginia

Dietz Publishing Co., Richmond, Virginia, 1934.

(Also reprinted, with Addenda, by Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, Maryland, 1963.)

Notes:

The information contained, as indicated in its title, are the descriptions of properties and their transfers throughout the early years of Virginia. There are important records in the entries which often give lists of the persons who were brought to Virginia by the individual, to be counted toward the acreage granted. Other informative contents include dates of various events, names of "neighbors", and more. The reprint includes a summary of the settlement of Virginia and information regarding the original settlers.

"The Cradle of the Republic"

The Cradle of the Republic - Jamestown and James River

By Lyon Gardiner Tyler, LL.D., then President of the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia

The Hermitage Press, Inc., Richmond, Virginia, 1906.

Notes:

Principally a topographical history of early Virginia, correlating information from many sources including deeds and related land documents, this work identifies various "named" locations and features. Much information is supplied, as well, pertaining to property, structures, persons, and events identified with the area surrounding Jamestown and the James River. The second edition, in particular, corrects earlier misinterpretations of descriptions in relation to topography of the area.

"Jamestown 1544-1699"

Jamestown 1544-1699

By Carl Bridenbaugh

Oxford University Press, Oxford and New York, 1980.

Notes:

This is an analysis and history of the "Jamestown" settlement from the point of view of the events and people, good and bad, English and Indian, well known and unknown. The information is extracted from a multitude of official documents and individual letters, indicating partiality in the descriptions, as well as effects at the individual human level. An excellent in-depth bibliography, chronology, and other information is provided in appendices.

"The Virginia Adventure"

Virginia_Adventure - Roanoke to James Towne: An Archaeological and Historical Odyssey

By Ivor No�l Hume

Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., New York, 1994.

Notes:

With interpretations of various archeological findings enhancing the historical presentation of the history of the English adventure into America, this book presents a broad perspective of the settlement of Virginia. Well worth reading.

"Plymouth Plantations"

Of Plymouth Plantations 1620-1647

By William Bradford, Sometime Governor Thereof

Edition by Samuel Eliot Morison

Alfred A. Knopf, New York, New York, 1953.

(There are also a number of other editions, since this is a primary accounting of the passengers of the Mayflower.)

Notes:

Since there is such an abundance of sources regarding the Mayflower passengers, I have included this one as but a sample document. As others, this one is based on the documents of William Bradford, although some of his writing was done from memory at later dates. His information, however, is likely the most accurate available.

"Saints and Strangers"

Saints and Strangers

By George F. Willison, 1945

Notes:

This is primarily a recounting of Bradfords writing, there are useful tables of information relating to the arrivals and other information. There are also a number of other sources cited and explanatory information.

"The Planters of the Commonwealth"

The Planters of the Commonwealth

A study of the Emigrants and Emigration in Colonial Times: to which are added Lists of Passengers to Boston and to the Bay Colony; the Ships which brought them; their English Homes; and the Places of their Settlement in Massachusetts

1620-1640

By Charles Edward Banks

Member of the Massachusetts Historical Society and of the American Antiquarian Society

Published at Boston, Massachusetts, 1930.

Also reprinted by the Genealogical Publishing Co., 1961, and later dates.

Notes:

This book was based on numerous earlier publications as well as original source review, including many parochial records throughout the counties of England from where most of the emigrants of this period originated. Lists are "updated" to provide grouping of families who were passengers and to provide an improvement in the lists of the passengers on ships. An important feature is the inclusion of the origins of the emigrants throughout England. There are also interesting conjectures, based on known factors, regarding the conditions of the early voyages and what the emigrant passengers must have endured.

"Founders of New England"

Result of some Researches among the British Archives, for information relative to the Founders of New England

Mr. Samuel Gardner Drake, 1860, Boston (Mass.)

"Documentary History of New-York"

The Documentary History of the State of New-York, arranged under direction of the Hon. Christopher Morgan, secretary of State.

Other author: O'Callaghan, E.B. (1797-1880); 4 VOL. set.; Pub. 1850, C Van Benthuysen, public printer, Albany.

Plates; folded maps; plans. These volumes are primarily collections of church proceedings, township documents, and of special interest are essays on the daily life, cultural life, government, Indian affairs, deeds of record for large manor purchases, etc. of the State of New York in approximately 1624 through 1850. The passenger lists are located in Vol 3.

Author's Note:

The following passenger lists for the years 1657 through 1664 are immigrants and some soldiers who departed from Amsterdam, The Netherlands destined for New Amsterdam, a.k.a. New Netherland, a.k.a. New York, Long Island by contract with the West India Company to settle the new land. Some immigrants continued on to Delaware and others up Hudson's River to Fort Orange. The nationalities are primarily from The Netherlands, but also represented are Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Belgium (as it was known in 1657), and one family each from Prussia , "L'Orient", and Switzerland. There may be other nationalities represented but most origins are in the form of "villages", "lands", and a "manor" or "duchy" which do not designate the country of origin. A great majority of listings include the occupation, place of origin, wife & child(ren), servant, widow, or maiden status.

Contributor's Note:

Great care has been taken to proofread the following documents and keep the integrity of the original document in spelling, punctuation, format and order. This information was translated from the original Old Dutch Manuscripts for publication in The Documentary History of the State of New-York and thus contains ORIGINAL spellings, misspellings, and abbreviations. Some words are certainly spelled from sound as many persons were not literate. Also, I have taken the liberty of adding dates, and one explanatory note, in parenthesis to prevent a confusion of dates, as some ships made several trips to the same destination.
