Fordyce Dennis Haskell

That he was an enterprising, successful shipmaster is demonstrated by the record which show him to be part owner and master of the whaler Mercury in 1833 on a voyage to the Pacific which beqan in New Bedford 11 February 1844. He had the Mercury until at least 1844 and all voyages were to the Pacific. They included calls at Canton, Monterey, Guyaquil, Mazatlan. and Callao which show he criss crossed the Pacific seeking whales.

Captain Haskell seems to have been of that special brand of iron bound Yankee shipmaster peculiar to the exacting demands of their profession. A seaman named Stephen Curtis who served on the ship Mercury 25 May 1841 quotes Captain Haskell's introductory speech to the crew at the start of the voyage:

“Now men! You are bound on a long voyage, and you must have no quarrelling, no striking each other. If there is any striking to be done, I am the one to do it."

Clearly he was a strict disciplinarian, which is not surprising since he came from Old Puritan stock that inherited the stern stoicism and sense of duty which together made up the cornerstone of the young American nation. American shipmasters of that day were a distinct type, virile and in the same category as the frontiersman. They invariably began life at sea at a tender age as ship's boy, surviving to become able seaman. With initiative, a few were promoted to petty officer and with sheer driving force and character one or two fought their way to the quarter deck where they commanded only through superior abilities.

In addition to the whaling journal kept by seaman Curtis already mentioned, a journal kept by Richard K. Vaughn on the previous Mercury voyage to the Pacific 11 June 1837 to 2 July 1840 under Captain Haskell has been preserved.

Captain Haskell commanded the whaler Ocean as master and part owner in 1848-9 (a bark which survived to at least 1933) and then the whaler St. Lawrence 1849-1851.
