I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SALEM_010901_002.JPG: This grave is of a Mayflower pilgrim, Captain Richard More, who died in 1692. You can see they encased this (and other) tomb markers in granite to help preserve them. The graveyard itself is The Burying Point. A sign for that tells us it was founded in 1637, is the oldest burying ground in the city, and includes the graves of Gov Simon Bradstreet, Rev John Higginson, Chief Justice Benjamin Lynde, and Justice John Hathorne (of the Witchcraft Court).
2. SALEM_010901_004.JPG: Another old grave, from 1674
3. SALEM_010901_006.JPG: Simon Bradstreet. The marker is in both Latin and English. The marker says "Served (?) in the Senate of the Massachusetts Colony from the year 1660 to the year 1676. Then Lieutenant Governor to the year 1679. And at last until the year 1680, Governor of the same colony by the general and determined vote of the people. He was a man endowed with keen judgment whom neither threats not honors could sway. He weighed the authority of the King and the liberty of the people in even scales. In religion devout and upright in his ways. He vanquished the world and relinquished it on the XXVIIth day of March in the year of our Lord MDCXCVII and in the Xth year of King William Third and of his life the XCIVth." Someone liked this guy!
4. SALEM_010901_008.JPG: The marker says: "A memorial to the boys of the Immaculate Conception Parish who served their country in the World War."
5. SALEM_010901_012.JPG: Here's a memorial to the witchcraft trial victims. Salem is one of the prime reasons why church and state should be separate and religious bigots should never be in charge. They have a series of rocks inscribed with the victim's name and how they died. "Rebecca Nurse. Hanged. July 19, 1692"
6. SALEM_010901_013.JPG: "John Proctor. Hanged. August 19, 1692"
7. SALEM_010901_014.JPG: "John Willard. Hanged. August 19, 1692"
8. SALEM_010901_015.JPG: "Giles Corey. Pressed to death. Sept 19, 1692"
9. SALEM_010901_016.JPG: "Mary Parker. Hanged. Sept 22, 1692"
10. SALEM_010901_018.JPG: Marketers, of course, celebrate the witch trials as a way of making money
11. SALEM_010901_020.JPG: The Custom House building. The government invested a lot of money into these things, didn't they?
12. SALEM_010901_029.JPG: This statue was designed by Saint-Gaudens
13. SALEM_010901_032.JPG: Statue of Nathaniel Hawthorne. His house is a major tourist attraction in the city.
Wikipedia Description: Salem Maritime National Historic Site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Salem Maritime National Historic Site consists of 12 historic structures and about 9 acres (36,000 m�) of land along the waterfront in Salem, Massachusetts, plus a Visitor Center in downtown Salem. It was the first American National Historic Site, and interprets the triangular trade during the colonial period; privateers during the American Revolution; and sea trade, especially with the Far East, after independence.

Structures in the historic site include:

* The Friendship of Salem - a replica of a 1797 East Indiaman, built in the Scarano Brothers Shipyard in Albany, New York in 2000. The original Friendship made 15 voyages during her career to Batavia, India, China, South America, the Caribbean, England, Germany, the Mediterranean, and Russia. She was captured as a prize of war by the British in September 1812.

* Derby Wharf (1762, extended 1806) - Salem's longest wharf (nearly 1/2 mile). When in active use, it was lined with warehouses of goods from around the world.

* Derby House (1762) - built in 1762 by Captain Richard Derby as a wedding gift for his son, a fine example of Georgian architecture.

* Narbonne House (1675) - The part of the house with the high peaked roof was built by butcher Thomas Ives, who later added a lean-to to the south side and a kitchen lean-to at the back. Around 1740 the southern lean-to was replaced by today's gambrel-roofed addition. From 1750 to 1780, the house was owned by Capt. Joseph Hodges, and in 1780 the house was purchased by tanner Jonathan Andrew. The house was lived in by descendants of the Andrew family from 1780 to 1964, when the house was sold to the National Park Service.

* Hawkes House (1780, 1800) - designed by famous Salem architect Samuel McIntire, building began in 1780. The unfinished building was purchased and completed around 1800 by Benjamin Hawkes.

* Salem Custom House (1819) - the 13th Custom House in Salem; the first was built in 1649. Each collected taxes on imported cargos.
