[AMERICANA] Capt. Gershorm Bradford (1774-1844) American Mariner. The Gershom Bradford House at 931 Tremont Street, Duxbury, Mass. is an historical house that is open for viewing. Regular hours are Sundays, 1-4 p.m. until the end of August. The house belonged to four generations of Bradfords before the last generation gave it to the Society in 1968. Captain Gershom Bradford (1774-1844), who built the house, commanded more than 10 merchant vessels before retiring in 1826 to lead an active life ashore. The Bradford family, out of respect for the Captain, changed almost nothing in the house. It was donated to the Society with original furnishings, décor and personal objects. A fascinating time capsule, the house allows the visitor to glimpse the home of a successful Duxbury mariner much as he left it in 1844. Captain Gershom Bradford drew the plans for the house while at sea aboard the brig Mercury, bound for Spain in 1807. Captain Gershom was a descendent of Governor William Bradford and John Alden both Mayflower Pilgrims. Offered here is a signed 1842 document. 7-1/4 x 2-1/2 in. VG.
