Women At Sea relates the experiences of being the only woman aboard a sailing vessel embarking on the China Trade in the late 1800s.  Frances Carleton Brastow Amesbury captured these adventures through her five line a day journal entries and her own photography.  When not at sea, she wrote of her life in the seafaring town of Rockport Maine.  The types of vessels she and her husband Captain Stanley Amesbury sailed on, what life aboard those months at sea were like, and the various places they made passage to are all documented in her diaries and photographs. Frances is the great aunt of Barbara Brastow Semple, our presenter. Through Barbara’s reading of her great aunt’s 15 years of journals, as well as several books and diaries by other women of that era, she has put together a travelogue highlighting women’s voyages at sea, with an emphasis on Frances Amesbury’s experiences sailing the high seas around the world. Barbara is a South Chatham resident and researcher and docent at the Atwood Museum.  She also sings with the Cape-wide Chatham Chorale and its Chamber Singers. Barbara  spent most of her career before retirement as a children’s librarian at public school, public library and private school in New Hampshire.  After living for 38 years in New Hampshire,  Barbara and her husband Paul retired to South Chatham 13 years ago.  Having grown up in Fairfield Connecticut, three blocks from Long Island Sound, sailing boats, and having spent summers in Chatham for 55 years, moving to South Chatham was like coming home. “Women At Sea” recounts Frances Amesbury’s 1800s China Trade voyages as the only woman aboard. Her journal and photos detail life at sea with Captain Stanley, their vessels, and destinations. When ashore, she chronicled Rockport, Maine. Presenter Barbara Brastow Semple, Frances’s great-niece, shares these 15 years of adventures, alongside other women’s sea journeys, emphasizing Frances’s global sailing experiences. Barbara Brastow Semple presents her great aunt Frances Amesbury’s 15 years of journals, alongside other women’s writings, highlighting their sea voyages. A South Chatham resident, researcher, and Atwood Museum docent, Barbara brings Frances’s global sailing experiences to life.
