Colonial America was a time of great change and discovery. The era was a time of conflict between people’s secular desires as innovation boomed and their spiritual growth as they discovered more about God and explored new religious ideas. In his essay, Worlds of Wonder in the Northern Colonies, David D.

The Separatists believed the Church of England maintained too many similarities with the Catholic Church, and it was their job, as saints, to purify it. Their religious beliefs angered many people, especially King James, who was the head of the Church of England at that time. A large group of the Separatists settled in Massachusetts, hoping to practice their religious beliefs without harassment.

A great misfortune took place during the summer of 1793. It was one of the driest and hottest summers in years making way for many disease spreading pests like mosquitoes (Gum 1). Said bugs and rodents took the lives of thousands leaving Colonial America in terrible condition. The College of Physicians not only established organization during this time of chaos, but they also limited future epidemics like the events that took place in Philadelphia and Colonial America from occurring again. To expand upon, the college created eleven rules for people to follow in order to prevent Yellow Fever from dispersing any further (Dobson 2).

This shifting religious emphases of Quaker doctrine can be illustrated as having been directly affected by the role British imperial authorities in the North American Colonies.

In New England during the 19th century, ships were of the utmost importance, especially for the transportation of goods. Vessels of all kinds have always played a key role in society ever since the first one was built. The vessel that was most widely used in New England at this time was the coasting schooner, ideal for hauling cargo up and down the Americas, and one of these vessels is now known as the Australia. This rig has a unique past, and was even mistaken to be much older than she really is. By taking a closer look at the Australia, knowledge can be gained about how schooners of her sort operated and how they developed over time.
