The Research; Attempted Routes and Indecision


Route 1: Salem Witch Trial ties
The 'witches' of Salem and the hysterics actually occurred in the following towns of Essex County:
Amesbury
Andover(now Andover and N. Andover)
Beverly
Billerica
Boxford
Gloucester
Haverhill
Ipswich
Lynn
Malden
Marblehead
Peabody
Reading
Rowley
Salem Towne
Salem Village (now Danvers)
Salisbury
Topsfield
Wenham

The now town of Essex however did not participate in said hysteria. They barely had any accusations, and no one was put to death here.
Conclusion: Nothing to work with here

BUT I CONTINUED ANYWAY, JUST IN CASE


AND I am so glad I did, because come to find out, the only place 'witches' were treated like royalty, like they were 'in vogue' so to speak, is my home town of Andover/N. Andover.
Conclusion: FUN. FACT. FOR. ME.
**Route 2: Cemetery concepts for Chebacco Parish, now Essex, MA
listing of graves at Essex Cemetery
Thomas Sewall: Bodysnatcher**
       names of 6 taken, found at the above link: Isaac Allen (10 yrs old), Phillip Harlow (10 yrs old), Mary Millet (35), William Burnham (79), Elisha Story (65), Samuel Burnham (26)
name of another taken : Caesar Conway

above found in History: Town of Essex, From 1634-1868 by Rev. Robert Crowell,
Published by the town.

Conclusion: series of illusrtrations of the body snatching, now that I have names and ages of all but ONE 'VICTIM'. Unsure of software
**Route 3: Ghost Ship
found legend, Salem, MA, which Essex was once a part of
Conclusion: some type of 3D version of the ghost ship, unsure of software to use
Route 4: Sea, Sea levels
past, present, and future
Conclusion: This was a backup, accidental find. Not as interesting as the body snatching, and pirates of course.
**Route 5: Pirates


I stumbled across some pirate code in my readings of Essex in the archives
AND found some information about the last female to be hanged in MA, and the last female American pirate
     
She was known, according to my readings here, to conduct her clever endeavors along the shores of Essex county, including Cape Ann to the Isle of Shoals

Conclusion: some type of 3d artwork of her. Unsure of the media to use.


OVERALL: the bodysnatching by Thomas Sewall, the last female American pirate, Rachel Wall, or the Spectre Ship of Salem are all enticing concepts for me.
I am very unsure about what software to use, despite knowing a bit about each and their uses. I am also unsure as to exactly what one to do. I am leaning towards Rachel Wall or the bodysnatching.
I am pleased to have found pirate code as well as almost every single name of those bodies stolen.
