My boys Will and Gabe came to Jersey to get a small shoot done before I head out to Kentucky. His car was still looking good on stocks and his drop.
The Stocks
I paid my price for finding out,
Nor ever grudged the price I paid,
But sat in clink without my boots,
Admiring how the world was made.
The last man in Crantock stocks (circa 1817) was William Tinney of West Pentire, a smuggler's son and a vagabond. He robbed, with violence, a widow woman of Cubert Parish, and was placed, to abide justice, in Crantock stocks, then standing in the church tower. By negligence or design he was insufficiently secured, and shortly afterwards appeared on the top of the tower. He had cut the rope from the tenor bell and by this he lowered himself from the roof. Climbing to the eastern gable of the choir and climbing down it, he dropped to the churchyard grass and in the sympathetic view of certain village worthies bolted, got off to sea and was never brought to justice or seen in the neighbourhood again.
This record was taken down in April 1896 by George Metford Parsons, Vicar from the testimony of Richard Chegwidden of Crantock, he being then 88 years of age and well remembering as a witness the events described.

Holy Trinity Stocks. Wooden stocks have probably stood on this spot since the 16th century. They were used for the punishment of minor crimes and nuisance until changes in the law in 1858. The original stocks are displayed within the church, these replicas being set up in 2006.
These stocks have been relocated from their original position in Southowram, but its good that they've survived. There are quite a few examples in Calderdale. People must have been bad back in the day!
Stocks Wood in Bournville as seen from Maple Road and Arcadia Road.
It was once part of the Great Forest of Arden. But the current trees probably dated back 150 years.
Seems to be called "Camp Wood" on Google Maps for some reason or other.

Penny stocks are most closely related with pump and dump schemes, where stocks are brought in bulk by stock speculators and a huge campaign to promote the stock starts, jacking up the price of the stock. coolpennystocks.com/ will provide more about Penny stocks.
Star of India is the world's oldest active sailing ship. She began her life on the stocks at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man in 1863. Iron ships were experiments of sorts then, with most vessels still being built of wood. Within five months of laying her keel, the ship was launched into her element. She bore the name Euterpe, after the Greek muse of music and poetry.
Euterpe was a full-rigged ship and would remain so until 1901, when the Alaska Packers Association rigged her down to a barque, her present rig. She began her sailing life with two near-disastrous voyages to India. On her first trip she suffered a collision and a mutiny. On her second trip, a cyclone caught Euterpe in the Bay of Bengal, and with her topmasts cut away, she barely made port. Shortly afterward, her first captain died on board and was buried at sea.
After such a hard luck beginning, Euterpe settled down and made four more voyages to India as a cargo ship. In 1871 she was purchased by the Shaw Savill line of London and embarked on a quarter century of hauling emigrants to New Zealand, sometimes also touching Australia, California and Chile. She made 21 circumnavigations in this service, some of them lasting up to a year. It was rugged voyaging, with the little iron ship battling through terrific gales, "laboring and rolling in a most distressing manner," according to her log.
The life aboard was especially hard on the emigrants cooped up in her 'tween deck, fed a diet of hardtack and salt junk, subject to mal-de-mer and a host of other ills. It is astonishing that their death rate was so low. They were a tough lot, however, drawn from the working classes of England, Ireland and Scotland, and most went on to prosper in New Zealand.

I have noticed a couple issues with the graphs on the Stocks app on the iPhone (v. 1.1.3). In this photo, notice the stock months for 1-year display. It should read J '08, not '07.
The other error I saw was the legend/right axis of numbers didn't reflect the true range of values.

Several years ago my grandson here thought it would be funny to have his picture taken in the stocks at Colonial Williamsburg, VA.
One of the famous stories about stocks is of Paul and Silas in stocks in the jail at
Philippi, Acts 16:26-28
"And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, 'Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.'"
And the story continues to unfold...
