S u m m e r g u i d e 2 0 1 6 1 0 7 Road warrior road warrior The sense of a lost Acadia is romantic but the threat of a shrinking Acadia is dangerous. from The Dictionary of Canadian Biogra- phy Another interesting note is the sim- ilarity in the pronunciation of Acadie and the Mkmawsimk suffix -akadie which means a place of abundance. The mod- ern usage is still seen in place names such as Shunacadie meaning place of abun- dant cranberries or Shubenacadie mean- ing place of abundant wild potatoes. It is thought that intercultural conversation between early French traders and Mikmaq hunters may have resulted in the name lArcadie being changed to lAcadie. Just as a river has a portage this story has a takeaway The magic of Acadia and its original geography sweeps across time and culture to include a coastal region extending far beyond Acadia National Park. Original- ly this sense of Acadia extended all the way to Virginia. Its a bit mind-bending to pon- der that you can be both from away and still from Acadia at the same time. Acadia is a beautiful word a growth stock. The term is yours to chase if you want it. n perstructure in English Dutch and Flemish galleons constructed between 1585 and 1590 all of which are marked by forecastles set back from the bow curved up beaks and bowsprits which rise forward and out from the forecastle. On these large three- masted ships details of the stern castle hull and rigging differ from those of a sin- gle-masted vessel. Perhaps the best over- all match among the illustrations in the sources consulted is a smaller ship called the Cromster by the Dutch with a main mast and smaller mizzen a fore-stay sail and sprit-sails from the main and mizzen masts. In this variety a ship used in Elizabe- than England and the Netherlands into the beginning of the seventeenth century the rounded hull had a sharply raked stern cas- tle that extended forward somewhat less than half the length of the main deck. The short turned-up beak that gave the Crom- ster its Dutch name from cromstevena bent or crooked stem is much closer to the beak represented in the petroglyph than to the far more elaborate beaks featured on larger ships of the period. Building his case spar by spar Hedden allows himself an educated guess A review of historical accounts of Eu- ropean voyages from the sixteenth through the first half of the sev- enteenth century shows that documented voyages to Machias Bay fall into two pe- riods when French or English vessels are likely to have visited during the first half of the seventeenth centuryThe earliest may have occurred between 1604 and 1606 when Sieur de Monts with Champlain as his lieutenant and cartographer explored the coast from the St. Croix River southward as far as Cape Cod. They sought potential settlement locations that were more ame- nable than their initial 1604 wintering site at the mouth of the St. Croix River. Cham- plain who was a meticulous draftsman made charts of the coast and all suitable harbors he visitedMachias Bay is not among them and Champlain may never have visited the upper reaches of the bay. However de Monts and Champlain also operated independently. The petroglyph representation of a small single-masted vessel with a square sail associated with a large Christian cross before the bow at site 62.1 may refer to a separate visit by de Monts at about this time.n First Contact continued from page 105
