In 1811 Jessup and Wakeman sold the township to Maj. Frederick Falley at 75 cents per acre. Major Falley sold several farms, and introduced many settlers while the township was in his possession ; but failing to raise the purchase money he surrendered it to the proprietors in 1820. They appointed Jabez Wright as agent and he sold several farms. About 1827 Ebenezer Jessup became sole proprietor, and his son, Ebenezer Jessup, Jr., resided there from 1829 to July, 1831, and in connection with Judge Wright sold about 7,000 acres of land to settlers at from $3 to $5 per acre. On the 25th of July, 1831, the remainder, 13,000 acres, HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY - 139 was sold to R. H. Heywood and the late John G. Camp at $1 per acre. At this time there was but a small portion of the township under cultivation. It was generally supposed that the oak openings were worthless, and the land between that and the bay too wet for cultivation. A few opening lots had been sold the year before by Mr. Jessup and small improvements begun, but Calvin Smith, who knew their value as wheat land, bought two lots at $2.50 per acre, put in a large crop of wheat and the result was surprising to many and gave the land value. Docartus P. Snow, of Vermont, in 1810 felled the first tree and built the first log house. It is said that the proprietors donated to him 100 acres of land in consideration of his building a grist mill on Cold Creek. He died in 1829. His widow (his second wife) married Philip S. Cowell. Uziel Putnam came in 1810 or 1811 from New York. In 1821 he moved to Sandusky County and was killed by being thrown from a sleigh in 1822. James Vanness settled here in 1814, coming from New York. He left in 1830 and died in Fremont about 1849. Ebenezer Hartwell came from Canada in June, 1815. He died about 1850. Andrus Parker came from Conneaut, Pennsylvania, in 1815. He returned to Pennsylvania in 1828. Philip Sutton settled on the northwest corner lot of the township about 1821. Peter Dunham settled on lot 2, section 2, in 1816, and died in 1830.. Dougal Campbell located on lot 13, first section, in 1816, and died in 1852. Harvey Fowler settled on lot 24, in section 1, in the fall of 1818 and resided there until his death, February 18, 1875. Ira Barnes came here in 1818. Henry Cole came in 1815 and died in 1830. Thomas McColough came in 1817 and died in 1850. A. M. Porter came in 1817 and died in Sandusky. Samuel Walker came in 1816 and died in 1831. Pliny Brown located on lot 7, in section 2, and lived there all his life ; he died in December, 1860. Richard Falley settled here in 1818 and died in 1835. John Cowell located in the northwestern part of the township in 1818 and lived there till his death in 1871. Philip S. Cowell came about 1820, located at Castalia and died there in 1869. Quite a number of others came here in the early days and only stayed a short time. Many of them left on account of the War of 1812, never to return. Among the early settlers the following took part in the Revolutionary war and the War of 1812 : Maj. Frederick Falley, when but eleven years old, accompanied his father as fifer in the company of which his father was captain, and was in the Battle of Bunker Hill. After Washington came into the command of the army he returned home with his father, who was employed by the Government in the manufacture of firearms during the war. He died in Margaretta, July 3, 1828, aged sixty-four. Samuel Drew, another Revolutionary soldier, came here about 1820 and resided here several years. Capt. Andrus Parker was in the army at the taking of Burgoyne. Thomas Caswell served in the War of 1812, on the New York frontier, and died here in.1853. Henry Jones served one campaign in the State of New York. 140 - HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY John L. Wilner, who was an early resident here, was in the army at Fort Meigs in the War of 1812. Elihu Parker served eighteen months about the close of the War of 1812. The first grist mill was built on Cold Creek in 1810 by D. P. Snow. It was built of logs, and the stones were brought from the quarries or rocks near by. Lewis Ensign, a citizen of Groton, did the work on them. This mill ground from ten to fifteen bushels of grain in twenty-four hours. It was only used two years, and in 1819 there was a mill built three-quarters of a mile from the head of the stream by Joshua Pettingill which had a screw-wheel and ground the most of the grinding for the entire Firelands for many years. In 1811 Major Falley raised the frame of a sawmill where the Venice mill-race is now, but the War of 1812 coming on the mill was left unfinished, and in 1815 it was purchased by Eli Hunt, who put a sawmill in operation, with a run of stone in one corner and- an apparatus for bolting. This was the first sawmill in the western part of the Firelands, and from it the first lumber was procured. At the same time that Major Falley began his mill a tannery was started near the head of the Venice mills. Two years later, in 1813, he removed to the tannery built by Major Falley, at the head of Cold Creek, and this industry became one of the most important to the early settlers, who were thus supplied with an article of importance. Mrs. Oertrude M. Chapman says : "I am 84 years of age, and have lived all my life in Erie County. My father, William McCartney, came here when there was only one log but in Sandusky. At one time he owned 1,800 acres of land near Venice. The pier at Venice then extended out into the bay a mile and a quarter. The Major Jack Downing was the first steamboat that came to Venice. They could not come any nearer because of the shallowness of the water. I was a little girl about ten years old when the dock was built. There was a large flour mill at Venice then owned by Mr. Heywood and he had three hundred men at one time making flour barrels. We lived in the marsh near Venice when I was a little girl. I was in Sandusky during the Cholera but do not remember any facts. My first remembrance of Sandusky was when I was about ten years old. The Townsend House was the largest Hotel and Venice then had much more business than Sandusky. There was not much in Sandusky but Indians then. They were Ogontz Indians. In the year 1849 a young woman came to my mother's house with cholera from Detroit and she and five others died of cholera. I knew many of the people buried in the old Sandusky cemetery. They were many of them of the aristocracy of the town. They were buried in coffins made of rough boards. My brother, who died of cholera, had a coffin of planed boards. The people died like sheep. The coffins were piled up in the cemetery like cordwood. I have seen thirty or forty unburied at one time. You could not buy even a loaf of bread then in Sandusky. All south of Jefferson street was hazel bushes. The Catholic church on Tiffin Avenue was the west HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY - 141 limit. There were very few Germans here then. When I first knew Castalia it did not have a dozen houses. This was when I was about ten years old. There was a store kept by a man named Barnum. The Congregational church was built in 1850. There were three or four houses at Venice. Jessup named Venice and Castalia. The decline of Venice was due to the shallowness of the water which prevented large vessels coming there. There was no disease that had anything to do with it though the whole country had plenty of fever and ague."  Three years later Daniel Mack built a sawmill near the mill that had been owned by Snow, and in the corner was a run of stone for grinding. In 1824 he built a good grist mill with two runs of stone, and this subsequently passed into the hands of a German named Weber in 1827. Mr. Mack had long years of litigation over certain mill rights with Pettingill and others, because of damages done them by flowing the back  THE BLUE HOLE water upon them. This was only ended in 1832 by transfer of the entire property and 510 acres of land to Burr Higgins. This gave him entire control of the water power, and he at once began to improve his mill for custom work. This was the coldest year ever known in this' latitude, and every stream was frozen except Cold Creek. Southern Michigan, as well as Northern Ohio, were dependent for grinding on this single stream. In 1835 Higgins sold his entire interest to Davidson, Hadley & Co. The first flouring mill in Venice was commenced in 1832 and finished in 1833, with three runs of French burrs for merchants and three runs for custom work. The completion of this mill established the first permanent cash Market for wheat on the Firelands. The second mill, 11/2 miles west of south of Venice, was begun in 1839, but not finished until 1841. It had eight runs of stone and cost $50,000. This was built of timber and was destroyed by fire in 1848. 142 - HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY Four years after another mill of brick and stone with six runs of stone was erected on the same site. The capacity of the two mills was sufficient to make 75,000 barrels of flour during the season of navigation. The old mill at Venice, with Cold Creek and 500 acres of land, had been purchased by Russell H. Heywood, of Buffalo, New York, in 1831, the year before the cold winter. At that time, 1833, 1,000 barrels of flour were made before harvest. The first hundred barrels of flour in the merchant work was packed in new barrels painted with China vermillion, taken on a new scow to a new ship, carried to Buffalo and sent by a new canal boat to New York, where it arrived as clean as when it left the mill. It was considered a great curiosity, and crowds of people visited the dock to see the first shipment of flour from Ohio, and some were so enthusiastic as to predict that Ohio might sometime furnish several thousand barrels a year. This flour was bought by 100 persons at prices quite in advance of the best Genesee flour. That year was a memorable one, because of the early harvest and the drought that extended over the new country, forcing people to carry their grist a hundred miles. An instance is related of two men from Hancock County who left home Monday morning and reached Venice the following Sunday, just in time to attend religious service in the mill. Mr. Heywood noticed the dusty travelers who took part in the services, and after they were over entered into conversation with the strangers and discovered that they were in urgent need of flour. They had left behind them sick families, utterly destitute, and had journeyed all the week to find a mill that could grind. They had fifteen bushels of wheat each. Mr. Heywood turned to the minister and said, "What shall I do ?" He replied, "Grind it for them as soon as possible." For three weeks, so great was the demand. upon him that he could not shut down his mills on Sundays, which was always his custom. Much of the flour made in Ohio before 1840 was sent west for market. In 1836 Oliver Newbury purchased 500 barrels of flour at $8 per barrel and took it to Chicago and sold it for $20 per barrel ; and the citizens held a public meeting and thanked him for not charging $50. It was all the flour they had for the winter. Until the completion of the Mad River & Lake Erie Railroad to Tiffin the wheat was brought in large wagons, and over such wretched roads and at such great distances as to bring but little profit to the owners. In one case a man came 150 miles with a four-horse team and twelve bushels of wheat. When he sold his wheat he took his $9 and went to the store, talking to himself thus : "My wheat was worth nothing at home. If I had lived decently coming here I should have spent it ; if I live decently going home I shall spend it ; but I must have money to pay my taxes and buy a barrel of salt." Then turning to the boy at the store, he asked, "What is the price of this sheeting ?" The boy replied "Sixpence." He then continued, "Yes, my wheat was worth something. I could have got a yard of _cloth like that for a bushel at home." Russell Heywood operated these mills forty-eight years. In 1848-49 HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY - 143 a cotton factory was built at Castalia. In 1864 John Hoyt bought the mill property and organized a stock company for the manufacture of paper under the name of the Castalia Paper Company, with Mr. Hoyt as manager and chief stockholder. He moved the old cotton factory down to the flouring mill and built some additions, and in about a year had in operation a first-class paper mill. It had a capacity of a ton a day and was run day and night until it was burned in 1874. The following year, 1875, the water power was bought for $8,000 by some of the leading men in Margaretta, viz. : C. Caswell, J. B. Witter, J. G. Snowden, E. D. White, S. H. Rogers, Philip Erbe, T. C. Adams and J. D. Chamberlain. They incorporated the Castalia Milling Company and proceeded to build a first-class flouring mill. The building was a substantial frame, built on the foundation of the old stone mill, three stories high, besides basement and attic. This mill had a capacity of 125 barrels of flour per day. They kept it running night and day and could not fill their orders even then. An elevator was also built, capable of storing 20,000 bushels of wheat, with all modern appliances for convenience in handling grain. This mill was afterwards moved about eighty rods west and run by steam. The stream was converted into a trout 'stream belonging to the clubs. The mill at Venice, owned by Dwelle & Williams, was burned in 1888, and the water privileges were then sold. Distilleries began to appear as other manufacturing establishments multiplied, and in 1823 Dr. B. L. Carpenter, at the head of Cold Creek, erected a small distillery. His brother, S. C. Carpenter, assisted him. It afterwards was owned by Chapman & Andrews, of Bellevue, and from them passed into the hands of Japan Johnson. It was abandoned in 1830. There had been another distillery built at Venice in 1824 by one William Mason, of Milan. It was in operation eight years. After a few years it was again started by David Barber. It was also abandoned. Numerous saloons have also been doing a thriving business from an early day. About the year 1832 a temperance society was organized at a meeting which was addressed by Revs. E. Conger and L. B. Burley. About fifteen signed the pledge. Since then there have been several other temperance organizations, one in 1859 and two others since. They have done much good, and the majority of the people of the township have become friends of temperance. The first religious organization 'in Margaretta was a Methodist class in Muscash, in the southeast corner. (The name Muscash is said to be of Indian derivation, and arose from the fact that the tribes brought their skins here for barter, and not being able to speak English, and wanting money instead of produce, insisted on "Muscash" or must cash.) It is not known who preached the first sermon. In 1819 a Presbyterian Church was organized in Margaretta and Groton by Rev. John Seward. Its members moved away and the organization died. In 1823 a Baptist Church was started, having its members in Oxford, Groton and Margaretta. This was the only church that sustained regular services 144 - HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY in the township for several years. Deacon R. Falley was the most prominent member, and owing to his efforts it was kept alive through those early years. In 1835 a Congregational Church was organized by Rev. Hiram Smith, from Westfield, Massachusetts, who secured the love and respect of his parish and remained with them until 1865. The members of the Baptist Church, having become scattered, and Deacon Falley's health failing, the members of the Baptist Church still remaining were identified with the new enterprise and became members of the Congregational Church. Two years after the Congregational Church, in 1850, the Methodists built a frame church at Castalia, which flourished for a time, but has held no services since 1860. It was afterward sold for other purposes. Castalia Universalist Church was organized by Rev. George R. Brown, October 12, 1862. Five years later a $4,000 building was erected on land donated by William Graves. Mr. Brown continued pastor until his death. The Church of Our Redeemer, at Venice, was organized by an election of wardens and vestrymen in June, 1866., In July of the same year Rev. Charles Ogden was invited to take charge of the parish, and on the 17th the ground was broken for the building. The corner stone was laid by Rev. Charles Ogden, August 21, 1866. The parish was incorporated on the 13th of October and admitted in the union with the Diocese of Ohio. It was consecrated June 3, 1867, by the Right Reverend Bishop McIlvarre. The church was erected by Russell H. Heywood as a memorial to the departed members of his own family at a cost of $12,000. It was deeded to the wardens and vestry on the day of its consecration, in connection with a glebe of fifteen acres. It has had the following clergymen in charge : Rev. Charles Ogden, from 1866 until 1868 ; Rev. George S. Chase, from September, 1867, until November, 1868 ; Rev. George Bosley, from October, 1874, until 1876. Services were held, either by clergymen or lay readers, until 1878. It is now under the charge of Grace Church, Sandusky. The first marriage in the township was that of Charles Butler and Clarissa Parker, 1816. The first mail from Sandusky City to Lower Sandusky was carried on horseback and established in 1825. It was taken once a week. The first postmaster of Margaretta was Samuel B. Carpenter. In 1810 Cleveland was the nearest postoffice. The first store was started by Maj. Fred Falley for trading with the Indians. He afterward went into the service of the Government to furnish army supplies. The first schoolhouse was built of lags, at the junction of the Venice and Cold Creek roads, in 1818, by Capt. A. Parker and some neighbors. The first teacher was Thomas McCullough, who received $15 a month, and the first winter had twenty-five pupils. The teacher was paid by the subscription of those who patronized the school. After that Rev. Alvin Coe, who had been teaching Indian children in Greenfield, moved his school to Venice and taught all the children in the vicinity. A few of the early district school teachers who are considered worthy of mention HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY - 145 are, A. W. O'Brien, of 'Maine ; Jonathan Fuller, James F. Wilson and John W. Falley. The first physician was Doctor Hartshorn, who settled here in 1817. Margaretta Grange, No. 488, P. of H., was organized January 30, 1873, with twenty-seven charter members. In the year 1870 John Hoyt, proprietor of the Castalia Paper Mills (since burned), conceived the idea of trying a few thousand eggs of the brook trout and proceeded to make troughs for hatching them. A severe thunder storm killed the trout, and in his second attempt he was equally unsuccessful for the brood of spawn is said to have been poisoned by the keeper. The third were turned loose in the pond and multiplied and the venture was a success. In May, 1878, a statute was passed by the State of Ohio to incorporate a company which should be known as the Cold Creek Trout Club, for the purpose of fishing, hunting and pleasuring, of propagating fish and protecting game on lands leased from the Castalia Milling Company. The capital stock of the company was $1,275, divided into eighty-five shares of $15 a share. When the club was organized there were seventy-four members. The incorporators were J. Atwater, B. F. Ferris, R. F. Fowler, B. H. Rogers and D. S. Worthington. This company leased the property for twenty years for $50 per year, having use and right to the headwaters, and including branches and tail race for two miles. In 1883 they built a house, and in 1887 bought the property with buildings and forty acres of land for $20,000. In 1887 the name was changed to that of the Cold Creek Sporting Club. The old mill was moved away, and a new race dug at a cost of $2,000 or $3,000. The Castalia Sporting Club was organized September 18, 1878, and leased the use of the waters for twenty years for $300 a year. There were five incorporators : Kelly Bolton, F. H. Mason, Lee McBride, Fayette Brown, and H. L. Terrill, with Mr. Brown as president, and Mr. McBride as secretary and treasurer. Mr. Mason was editor of the Cleveland Leader and United States consul at Geneva. In 1882 they built a clubhouse which cost them nearly $2,000, and March 10, 1888, they bought of Messrs. Dwelle and Williams the right to the lower waters of the stream, extending four miles to the bay, and embracing on either side of the stream thirteen rods. For this they paid $24,000. CASTALIA SPRINGS On the 13th of September, 1760, Maj. Robert Rogers of New Hampshire left Montreal with instruction to proceed west and capture the western forts held by he French and Indians. On the 4th of November Major Rogers left Presque Isle, Erie, Pennsylvania, with a fleet of fifteen whale boats. He coasted along the south shore of Lake Erie and put into the mouth of Geauga, where he ran against Pontiac, at that time chief of a large body of Indians. After some delay Pontiac opened the way and escorted the party to Detroit. After securing the post at Detroit, Rogers returned by land by way of the Sandusky and Tus- Vol. 1-10 146 - HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY carawas trail to Fort Pitt and arrived in Philadelphia the 14th of February, 1c761. The trail passed the head of Cold Creek and he remarks in his autobiography : " There is a remarkable spring at this place rising out of the side of a small hill with such force that it boils out of the ground in a column three feet high. I imagine it discharges ten hogsheads of water a minute." The Western Intelligencer and Gazette, published at Columbus in 1817, speaks of the now insignificant Village of Venice as a thriving place, made important by Big Cold Creek. The pioneer miller of Big Cold Creek was Dorcatus Snow, who was killed by the Indians in 1814. The damaging of the creek and the back pressure caused thereby resulted in the breaking out of a new spring some time after 1820. This spring is the Blue Hole, which discharges 5,000 gallons of cold water every minute. The spring is about 75 feet in diameter and 45 feet deep and the water is blue in color and very clear. The upper springs discharge 20,000 gallons of water a minute into the trout streams. Trout are not indigenous to the stream but the first eggs obtained in the East in 1868 were hatched in a trough, and the ,fry planted in a penned off portion of the stream. This was done by a Castalia miller at the suggestion of Dr. E. Sterling of Cleveland. The fish multiplied and when their enclosure broke the creek was stocked with the blue speckled trout of North America. Every year for many years the club's preserve keeper, Andrew Englert, superintends the hatching of 400,000 to 800,000 fry, hatching 90 per cent of the eggs taken. The stream was used indiscriminately until the Cold Creek Trout Club Company was incorporated in 1879 by Cleveland fishermen, with a capital stock of $1,275, divided into eighty-five shares of .$15 each. The stock was later increased to $30,000 and the name changed to Castalia Trout Club Company, which purchased all the rights' of the milling company. A channel twenty feet wide called the Blue Channel was drained through the lower pond, and in 1889 a 65-acre tract adjoining the club property was purchased:" A competent engineer was employed and the crookedest trout stream in the world was laid out by him, with the result that on the club's 104 acres of land there are six miles of stream, across which plank bridges have been thrown at convenient points, so that from any part of the preserve one may walk in a straight line to the club house. The property represents an investment of $50,000. A register of all fish is kept at the club house. During some seasons about 6,000 trout have been taken, the average weight being two pounds. German brown trout weighing more than eight pounds have been caught, but are no longer propagated artificially. The season extends from March 15 to September 15, but each member can only .dish twenty-six days but cannot take from the stream more than ten pounds a day. The club has never had but two presidents, Jeremiah Atwater of Castalia and John C. Zollinger of Sandusky. The Castalia Sporting Club and the Rockwell Springs Club also have trout streams in the vicinity. In collecting material for his work on the "War of 1812" Benson HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY - 147 J. Lossing visited Sandusky on September 24, 1860, and thus describes his visit to that city and Castalia : "It was a soft hazy half sunny day late in September when I visited the site of Fort Stephenson and the places of events that had made it famous. I had come up by Railway from pleasant Sandusky City where I had spent two or three days with friends, vainly endeavoring to visit Put-in Bay where Perry 's fleet rendezvoused before the battle that gave him victory and immortality. The excursion steamboat to that and other places had been withdrawn for the season and the wind was too high to make a voyage there in a sailboat either safe or pleasant. I was less disappointed than I should have been by the discovery that an artist (Miss C. L. Ransom) then in Sandusky City had made careful drawings of the historical points about Put-in Bay. I had the pleasure of meeting her and availing myself of her courteous permission to copy such of her drawings as I desired. Of these more will be said when giving an account of the naval battle near there. "In company with Mr. Barney, with whom I was staying, I visited the famous Castalian Springs at the village of Castalia five or six miles from Sandusky City. They flow up from subterranean fountains, almost as limpid as air, and in volume so great that along the outlet that is called Cold Creek, in its course of three miles through a beautiful prairie of three thousand acres to Sandusky. Bay no less than fourteen sets of mill stones were kept in motion by it. In a rough scow we hovered over the center of the spring and peering down into its clear mysterious depths saw logs and plants and earth in grotto form made iridiscent by the light in the aqueous prism. The Castalia Springs are great natural curiosities and are much visited. There are two known as the upper and lower. They are about one quarter of a mile apart and are connected by a race. At the lower one where Cochrane & Weston had a flouring mill a dike had been raised to give more fall to the water. The two springs are of about equal dimensions. That of the lower one which I visited is about sixty feet in depth. The water is so limpid that a white object an inch in diameter can be seen lying on the bottom. The temperature of the, water is about forty degrees Fahrenheit and holds in solution lime, soda, magnesia and iron. It petrifies everything with which it comes in contact. This process makes the mill wheels indestructible. About a mile and a half from the Springs is a limestone ridge covered with alluvium. From beneath this the Springs appear to flow and are doubtless the first appearance on earth of a little subterraneous river like the Eutaw' in South Carolina. We intended to visit the somewhat marvelous cave about two miles from the Springs but the day was too far spent when I completed my sketch of the fountains to allow me to do so. We returned td the town by the way of Mr. Barney's fine vineyard and arrived at Sunset. I spent the evening with General Leslie Combs at the West House and in a public meeting. The next day was the Sabbath and on Monday morning I started by railway for Lower Sandusky with impressions that have crystallized into pleasant memories 148 - HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY of a delightful little city on a slope overlooking one of the finest bays that indent the shores of Lake Erie." In recent years the Village of Castalia has become ambitious commercially. It has now two Portland cement companies, and a cement plant is also located at Bay Bridge. The Castalia Portland Cement Company has a capacity of 1,500 barrels a day and employs 150 men. The increase in business caused the organization of the Castalia Banking Company, which began operations on September 23, 1905. The growth of the village caused a demand for larger church accommodations and a Methodist Church was erected several years ago, and on October 4, 1910, the cornerstone of the German Evangelical Church was laid. SANDUSKY PLATTER A recent magazine article thus describes the Sandusky platter : "The first platter we give is a. rare one, a view of Sandusky, Ohio, maker unknown. It is one of a dozen designs with the same border, of different cities, including such widely separated spots as Buenos Ayres and Quebec. Sandusky at this time was evidently in its infancy, but the pattern is a very rich and handsome one, fine in color and clear in design. Only two pieces with this pattern, both platters, have come under our notice. The platter which we show has just been rescued in New Jersey from dust and oblivion. It has belonged to a lady who considered it such an 'ugly old thing' that she was unwilling to have it about. She offered it to some relatives, who agreed with her as to its lack of beauty and interest, and who would not take it as a gift, so it returned to its resting place of half a century—the attic. But old china like murder cannot remain hid, and somehow two collectors in the same town got wind of this treasure and started to secure it. One went with a basket to bear away the prize and came away empty handed. The other, having better luck, secured the platter, the owner taking five dollars less than was offered her, as she was sure the latter was not worth it. Yet what did the collector get for it? Fifty dollars in money and a beautiful ten inch States plate in perfect condition worth from twelve to fifteen dollars."—From "Some More Old Blue," by N. Hudson Moore in the Delineator. The date of the scene pictured on the platter is about 1820, fixed by the steamer in the foreground—Walk-in-the-Water—which was built in 1818 and wrecked about- 1820.
