CLAY TOBACO PIPES FROM THE SCOTTISH DARIEN COLONY (1698-1700).

A. Oswald.
Summary.
The Darien Company papers give details of the style, price and shipment
of some 282,832 pipes made by four makers during the period 1696-9.
Archaeological work in Panama has identified the range of pipes in use,
including specially produced 'export style' pipes, pipes of different status
and personal examples belonging to the colonists. It has shown both that
outdated moulds continued in production with new styles, and that the widow
of a pipemaker could effectively continue production, even creating new
moulds, after her husband's death. The majority are shown to come from
Edinburgh and provide a tightly dated sample of late 17th Century Scottish
styles.
Introduction.
Survey and archaeological excavation were undertaken at the Darien
Colony, located on the Atlantic coast of Panama, in 1979 and 1985. During
the course of this project considerable numbers of clay pipe bowls and stems
were recovered, from contexts directly attributable to the Scottish
occupation of 1698 to 1700. This paper will document these pipes and
attempt to identify them with the suppliers mentioned in the Company
accounts. Fuller accounts of the excavations and the history of the colony
have been published elsewhere (Horton 1980, Inch 1932).
The Colony.
The Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies sent an
expedition of five ships (St Andrew, Caledonia, Unicorn, Dolphin and
Endeavour) fitted out in Edinburgh to establish a colony on the Panamanian
Isthmus in 1698. They settled a peninsula, adjacent to a deep harbour, on
the rough Atlantic coastline in November of that year. This place was known
as Punta Escoces, and can still be identified on the ground.
The colonist's first intention was to construct a fortification, with a
civilian settlement to the south, called New e、ゥョ「オイァセ@
William Paters on,
whose eyewitness report survives, stated that although construction was
started on this new town it was soon abandoned and the settlers moved inside
the fort, which they named Fort St Andrew, (Bur ton 1849, 181). This was a
small peninsula, five hectares in area, which the Scots defended on the
landward side by a breastwork and moat, with cannon batteries to seaward.
The ships were unloaded here and timber storehouses were built. This first
expedition only lasted a few months, with the appalling weather and disease
decimating the settlers. In July 1699, the remaining 700 Scots, out of the
original 1300 fled to Jamaica, leaving what was left of their colony behind.
Meanwhile two relief ships had been sent to
239
d。イゥ・セ@
The Olive Branch
and the Hopeful Binning, set out from the Clyde and arrived in late July,
only a few weeks after the evacuation of Fort St. Andrew. The ships
anchored in the harbour and while the Scots considered their next move, the
Olive Branch accidentally caught fire, and sank at her moorings. The
Hopeful Binning then left for Jamaica, without unloading any of her cargo.
Unaware of these two disasters, a further group of 1500 eager colonists
set out in August 1699.
Their ships, the Rising Sun, Duke of Hamilton,
Hope of Bo'ness and Hope, had been fitted out in the Clyde.
They arrived
in Darien in late November 1699, where they found only the burnt out remaiM
of huts and the wreck of the Olive Branch lying in the harbour.
They set
to rebuilding the colony within Fort St. Andrew. Food was short, and the
earlier fortifications had not been completed by the first expedition, rut
within a few months they had finished the ramparts and batteries and erected
87 huts, two storehouses and a church. Topographic details of the colony
were recorded on a contemporary Spanish map, suggesting that these buildings
were on the south side of the fort, where they are shown in two neat rows,
close to the stone built powder magazine.
The Colony was not to survive. A Spanish force had been brought
together from Panama and Cartagena, and met with their Atlantic fleet near
the Scottish Colony. There was a long siege, and the Scots capitulated on
April 12th, 1700.
The terms were generous, and the colonists were given
While many of
two weeks to pack their stores and leave Fort St. Andrew.
the survivors were too weak to do much work, the archaeological evidence
suggests that many of the provisions were loaded back onto the ships. None
of the Scottish ships however reached Scotland; the Hope was wrecked off
Cuba, the Hope of Bo'ness surrendered to the Spanish at Cartagena, while the
Rising Sun and the Duke of Hamilton were lost in a hurricane off South
Carolina, while all hands were lost.
The Supply of Clay Pipes.
The first expedition was fitted out from Edinburgh, and a large number
of pipes were loaded on board the St. Andrew, Caledonia and Unicorn, from
two pipemakers, Jean Wemyss, the widow of Patrick Crawford, and David
Montgomery of Tranent. D. Gallagher, (this volume, p. 236) has calculated
that 155,664 pipes were loaded onto these ships.
Many of these were taken
to Fort St. Andrew, and abandoned there, although the Caledonia did
eventually return to Scotland in November 1699 with four boxes of broken
pipes (Gallagher in this volume, p. 237).
The pipes supplied to the Olive Branch and Hopeful Binning are less
clearly documented. uョャゥォセ@
the first expedition where tradesmen supplied
the Company directly, the fitting out of these ships was undertaken by James
Balfour and the pipe receipts have not survived.
The manifest of the Olive
Branch recorded that four gross of pipes were loaded at Glasgow, packed in
barrels.
Pipes were also sent on the final expedition, which set sail from the
Clyde.
They were mainly loaded onto the Rising Sun. This ship was made
and fitted out at Amsterdam, but according to the records all the pipes were
Scottish, and supplied by the Glasgow pipemakers, James Colquhoun and
William Hyndshaw.
Colquhoun supplied 109 gross of short Caledonia pipes
and 20 gross of long pipes, while Hyndshaw sent only 18 gross for use on
board the ships.

The Archaeological Work.
The area of Punta Escoces was surveyed in detail, but archaeological
deposits containing Scottish material were entirely concentrated within the
area of Fort St. Andrew.
Here there was very little soil above bed rock,
and the ground surface was close to what it had been in the seventeenth
century.
Consequently much of the artifactual material lay on the surface,
or just below it, and could be recovered by surface collection.
Evacavation took place on the ramparts, and at three sites in the centre of
the fort, where traces of post hole structures were recovered. Pipe
fragments were found in all the excavations, as well as on the surface.
Many pieces, marked PC came from a single concentration close to the
magazine, which may mark the location of one of the storehouses.
A total
of 233 bowls were collected from this storehouse area, of which about half
were marked with the initials PC.
A further 117 bowls were collected from
the rest of the fort, comprising mainly plain and PC marked pipes.
A
limited number of other marked pipes were also found within the fort.
In a survey of the marine archaeological remains in the harbour the
wreck of a burnt out wooden ship some 30 metres long was found.
This can
be identified as the remains of the Olive Branch, which sank here in 1699.
Eight pipe bowls were brought up from the wreck, some of which were
concreted together in the remains of a barrel.
In addition to the seven
recognisable Scottish pipe bowls, one example of a Dutch pipe (no. 19) was
found on the site of the wreck.
The Pipes.
All of the pipes recovered in this area can be directly attributed to
the documented Scottish settlement.
Initially they will be considered in
two sections: those from Fort St. Andrew which derive from the first and
third shipments, and those from the Olive Branch which represents the second
shipment.
Fort St. Andrew.
The majority of the pipes were found during the 1979 survey when well
over 350 bowls were recovered.
A much smaller number were found in 1985.
Most of the pipes remain in Panama, but a representative sample of twenty
five bowls, together with an additional eight drawings were available for
study in this country - all of them from the 1979 survey (Appendix 1).
It
is these pipes which are discussed below.
They are illustrated in figures
one and two, and a selection photographed in figure three.
All of the pipes are made from a local fabric (i.e. not West country)
which exhibits small gritty inclusions and shiny mica flecks.
I t generally
fires to a drab off-white or greyish colour, although five of the pipes have
a strong pinkish hu&
All of the pipes have bottered tops (individually
smoothed by rotating a button round the mouth of the bowl), and with one
possible exception appear to be of Scottish manufacture.
None of them has
an internal bowl cross.
241
Plain Heel Pipes.
About one third of the group is made up of unmarked heel pipes.
in turn can be divided into two types:-
These
No. 1.
Nine of the bowls are of this 'Scottish chinned' form, which has an
upright, bulbous bowl with a marked constriction at its base.
They
probably all come from the same mould and must have represented one of the
most common types current on the site.
Although competently finished and
with a naturally glossy fabric none of them are burnished, and there is
little attempt made to provide good milling.
This would be consistent with
a staple produce intended for general use.
Two of the bowls are made of
the pinkish fabric.
No. 2. Single example of a thicker, fuller bowl, also in a pinkish fabric.
Once again it has a medium finish with mold lines visible around the heel
(which does not appear to have been trimmed) and a very crudely finished
rim.
Export Style Pipes.
Nos. 3, 4 & 5.
There are five examples of export style pipes,
characterised by the absence of a heel or spur.
They represent at least
three mould types.
The distinctive funnel shaped bowl is a style
developed specifically for export requirements, and is rarely found in
Britain.
The finish of the bowls is average, although more attention was
gi ven to the rim.
The two measurable examples both have three-quarters
milling.
One example (no. 5) marked PC, displays moulded initials, a
characteristically Scottish method of marking at this date.
Heel Marked Pipes.
The remaining pipes are all heel pipes with makers' marks either
stamped, moulded or applied by both methods to the bowl.
The majority of
these are marked PC, and clearly represent the most common type used at Fort
St. Andrew.
Three mould types marked PC are represented, with a further
seven moulds with other moulded marks.
No. 6 is a Scottish chinned variety very similar to no. 1, but marked PC and
is the commonest type of heel marked pipe found.
There are eight examples
which are eaSily identified by flaws in the mould around the lettering.
The P has a small lump within its loop, a small wedge projecting from the
upright just under the loop, and a pronounced triangular mark to the right
of the letter.
The C has two fine lines projecting from its left hand
side.
This mark could have been caused by a misplaced blow -if a punch was
being used to form the letters in the mould.
This type again appears to
be an average product since none of the examples are burnished, and there is
little effort at full milling.
One of the examples is in a pinkish fabric.
None have base stamps.
Nos. 7 & 8.
In contrast the other two PC moulds represent higher quality
pipes.
The bowls are well burnished and all three examples have base
stamps.
There are two examples of No. 8, both with very poor stamp
impressions.
These probably consist of a small square castle stamp,
flanked by the letters PC.
Both examples probably come from the same die.

No. 7 has a larger stamp type of similar design.
This bowl is of
particular interest since the moulded letters have been recut indicating a
change in ownership of the mould.
The letter P has become large and crude
in an attempt to obscure the previous initial, traces of which remain within
the loop.
Within the C is a clear loop from the previous letter, which
was possibly an 0 or D.
These bowls do not have such pronounced waists and
upright heels as nos. 1 & 6, and being of better quality would probably have
had longer stems and fuller milling.
The remaining seven bowls all have different marks on them - in four
cases both stamped and moulded.
In general terms they represent higher
quality pipes with better burnishing and milling.
No. 9.
This is the least typical pipe from the group.
It has a much
more forward leaning bowl than the other examples, although still a local
fabric, and is well burnished.
The mark too is atypical, with a heart
shaped border, containing some form of initials or device.
It is however
still likely to be a Scottish pipe, where heart shaped marks are sometimes
found (for example NW from Kirkwall, Oswald 1975: 45).
No. 10.
Another forward leaning bowl, with a large bowl and thin walls.
It is a well finished bowl with the moulded initials DB and a castle stamp
on the heel.
No. 11.
Large fairly thin walled bowl with moulded initials IB and a
castle stamp.
Although too abraded to determine whether it was burnished
originally there are still some mould lines showing that it was never
particularly well trimmed.
No. 12. Bowl marked with moulded initial mark. The letters are considered
to be IC, the square end of the C being a feature in common with the PC
pipes.
The C is distinctive in that it appears to have a double cut at
its centre.
The mould is stylistically rather out of date having been
replaced by the larger fuller forms predominating in this group.
Its
presence on a site where there is no question of residual material is a
salutory reminder that the popular adoption of new forms does not exclude
the possibility of older types continuing to circulate.
This piece is also
of note since it has had its end ground smooth where broken, suggesting that
the pipe was re-used.
No. 13.
Heel pipe with moulded IP mark, stamped with a portcullis.
No. 14.
Based on a field drawing only this pipe appears to have an
inverted G on the Christian name side and the surname letter P.
It has a
square base stamp, that may be either a castle, or a portcullis.
One bowl (CB 79 IX. 8.999 - unnumbered on figure three) is identical inform to no. 2, but has traces of a moulded mark on the heel, the base of
which is totally missing.
The first initial could possible be a P in which
case it may be a PC pipe from the same mould as no. 16 from the Olive
Branch.
The Olive Branch.
A small number of bowls has been recovered from the wreck of the Olive
Branch, from the second relief ・クー、ゥエッセ@

were studied in Panama, while the 1979 material was studied through field
drawings.
Surprisingly there are at least seven moulds represented by the eight
pipes available for study, and most of these are different to types found
within the fort.
One example of the plain Scottish chinned form (no. 1)
was found, and a PC pipe was found in 1979 which is probably the same as
those from the fort (no. 6).
No. 15.
Two badly damaged examples, possibly the same, marked ?PI, with a
?portcullis mark on the base.
These are of the same style as the other
marked and stamped pipes from the fort.
No. 16. One of the PC pipes found in 1985 was from a different mould to the
examples from the fort (no. 6).
It was slightly larger and fuller in the
body. Like all the pipes from the wreck it has a badly eroded and encrusted
surface, making it impossible to determine finishing details such as milling
and burnishing.
Nos. 17 & 18.
Of rather different forms are the plain pipes.
Although
the constricted base and flared heel of no. 18 is typical of Scottish pipes,
no. 17 is more like London style pipes of cI660-80.

The surface finish was too
eroded to observe either burnish or milling.
Holland was also a major
European clay pipe production centre at this period, and had a reputation
for the quality and finish of its pipes.

where they are relatively 」ッュセ@
The presence of this pipe is therefore
likely to represent a personal object belonging to one of the crew, rather
than a shipment of imported pipes.
Discussion.
The Darien pipes provide the rare opportunity to relate considerable
documentary evidence to a closely dated pipe assemblage.
From Fort St. Andrew the majority of the forms are typical of those
produced in late 17th century Scotland.
The pipes have developed a full

12) does an earlier form persist.
There are no Scottish spur pipes,
despite the fact that imported Dutch pipes of that style were in circulation
(no. 19).
The Scottish pipes can be recognised as being of two qualities - a
standard everyday pipe (nos. 1 & 6) with simple trimming, lack of burnish
and poor milling, and a higher quality pipe (nos. 7 & 8) which is finished
with milling and burnish.
The better pipes have both moulded and stamped
marks, whereas the inferior pipes are either unmarked or have only moulded
marks.
These two categories may equate with the 'short Caledonian pipes'
at 12d per gross, and the long pipes at 2/- per gross supplied to the
Company (Gallagher, this volume, p 237).
The extra cost represents the
additional time needed to mould long pipes and provide the quality finish.
247
The fabric used in these two qualities of pipe was the same although
none of the better pipes were found with the pinkish hue.
This pinkish hue
was found both on the unburnished pipes marked PC (no. 6) and on the
unmarked pipes of very similar form (nos. 1 & 2).
The PC maker probably
made both the marked and unmarked varieties.
At the very least the
similar pinkish fabric suggests that all these pipes originate from
Edinburgh rather than Glasgow.
The PC pipemaker was working in Edinburgh,
as some of his pipes have a castle stamp (nos. 7 & 8), generally considered
diagnostic of the city.
The Darien material shows clearly that export style pipes were produced
in Scotland at this time.
This style has been recognised amoung English
pipes especially those exported from Bristol, by the absence of heel or
spur.
In 1696 the Company asked the London Director for patterns of goods
suitable for trade with Africa and the East and West Indies.
Among the
recommendations were clay pipes used when shipping negroes.
Later that
year they sent to Glasgow for patterns of 'Virginia Tobacco Pipes'
(Gallagher, this volume).
This shows both that export styles were made in
Glasgow at this date, and that the Company was anxious to obtain suitable
styles of pipe for their カ・ョエオイセ@
But the only export pipes known to have been produced specifically for
the Darien Company were 26,064 'African fashioned' pipes made by David
Montgomery, for which he was finally paid in 1697.
The terms 'African' and
'Virginia' have not yet been satisfactorily identified, but the finding of
spurless pipes (nos. 3 & 4), at the Darien Colony, with a known reference to
African style pipes, suggests that these export pipes were known as 'African
fashioned' and produced by Montgomery.
A third type of spurless pipe had the moulded PC mark (no. 5).
This
mark has been equated with an Edinburgh maker, (since other PC pipes have
the Edinburgh Castle base stamp) so it can be demonstrated that this type of
export pipe was made in Edinburgh.
The presence of at least three export
mould types shows that the Edinburgh pipemakers went to some trouble in
providing special moulds (which were always expensive articles) for the
Company.
The Pipe Makers.
The Company documentation provides much information concerning the
origin of the pipes.
The most prolific supplier was Jean Wemyss - widow of
the Edinburgh maker Pat rick Crawford.
Based on the lists transcribed by
Gallagher in this volume and the principle that barrels cost 1/2d and pipes
14d per gross it can be estimated that she provided some 235,600 pipes to
the Company.
David Montgomery provided 26,064, James Colquhoun 18,576,
and William Hyndshaw 2,592, making a total of 282,832.
But shipment
records of pipes to Panama in Gallagher's paper list only 177,408 leaving an
excess over the number purchased of 105,424.
It seems very unlikely that
the Company would have made other orders with such a surplus of pipes at
hand.
But in the assemblage from Darien eight different makers are
represented by their marks.
Most are found in single or rare examples and
can be considered as the personal objects taken out by the colonists.
Only
two makers can be identified by their pipes from the Company's accounts.
These are the PC and IC initials.
248
PC pipes.
There can be little doubt from these supply figures that the numerous
pipes found in Panama, marked PC, were supplied by Jean Wemyss using moulds
marked with the initials of her deceased husband, Pat rick cイ。キヲッセ@
It is
interesting that she continued to trade under her husband's name, as is
shown by the export style pipe (no. 5) made specifically for the Company and
marked PC.
This documented Edinburgh pipe maker can also be recognised by the use
of the castle base stamp (nos. 7 & 8), very similar in concept and style to
the castle hall-mark used for silver.
The Darien pipes provide clear
confirmation that this castle base stamp is a characteristic of pipes made
in Edinburgh.
Similar castle marks have been reported from pipes of the
mid seventeenth century from St. Mary's Street Edinburgh (Lawson 1980, 171).
Exact parallels can be found from the pipes from High Street, Edinburgh,
(Lawson 1978, 217, no. 27).
Here a very similar or identical castle stamp
was found to a Darien example (no. 7) with the moulded initials PC on both
bowls.
Another example of the PC and castle base stamp combination comes
from Edinburgh Castle (Knight, 1961, 32), while a reversed PC and castle
stamp has been reported from Kirkwall, Gunns Close (Cauldwell 1982, 426, no.
24) and from the recent Kelso excavations (Gallagher pers. comm.).
IC stamps.
The products of James Colquhoun of Glasgow supplied to the third
expedition are represented by a single type, marked IC (no. 12).
The
rarity of his pipes is surprising in the sample, considering that he
supplied over 18,000 pipes.
Pipes marked IC have been identified with the pipemaker James Colquohoun
in the past.
The Darien pipes provide a welcome confirmation of this
maker.
A similar chinned bowl, with the IC mark came from Linlithgow
Palace (Laing 1968, 126, no. 4) where a pipe stem marked COLHOWN, was also
ヲッオョセ@
The mark has been reported from pipes found on HMS Dartmouth, which
sank in 1690, and which had just taken on stores from Greenock (this volume
p 000).
Similar pipes have also been found at West Welpington and Kielder
Valley. IC was used as a base mark in a pipe from Hillis Tower, Dumfries.
Gallaher has pointed out (p 38) that there were two James Colquohoun
pipemakers at this time; the original business of James Colquohoun I was
transferred to his cousin of the same name around 1695.
Who supplied the
Company is not known, but as the Darien pipe uses (no. 12) an old mould
similar to ones used in 1690 for the pipes from HMS Dartmouth, clearly the
same moulds continued in use through any change of ッキョ・イウィゥセ@
The other makers' marks present a problem as they are not documented as
suppliers to the Company.
Two can be identified as Edinburgh pipemakers on
the basis of the distinctive Edinburgh base stamp, while it is possible that
one group (nos. 9, 13, 15) came from Stirling.
DB pipes.
This occurs as a heel pipe with what may be a castle basemark, with a
trilope, (no. 10). A similar marked pipe came from Kirkwall, Gunns Close
249
(Cauldwell, 1982, 426, no. 26).
Also from Kirkwall, Mounthoolie Lane, was
an example with moulded initials DB without a base stamp, (Cauldwell 1982,
424, no. 3).
Denis Gallagher has recorded a David Banks working in Leith
in 1705/6 who may be this pipemaker.
GP pipes.
This occured on a single example (no. 14) only recorded on a field
drawing.
This combination of initials is unrecorded elsewhere.
It is
possible that the G is badly formed, and the mould is a reversal of the more
common PC maker.
IB pipes.
We know of no previous finds of this type (no. 11).
The castle base
Possible candidates are John Banks
mark shows this was an Edinburgh maker.
(Edinburgh, 1658/9) and John Balk (Edinburgh, 1668) but both seem too early
(Gallagher, per. comm.).
IP pipes.
No moulded marked pipes have been reported with these initials, but pipes
from Stirling Castle have initials I P S on a heart shaped base stamp (Davey
1980, 49, nos. 8 & 9). In this case the IP is likely to represent the
initials and the S the place of manufacture rather than the surname.
The
Darien example has a portcullis base stamp, (no. 13).
While another
example (no. 15) PI may be a reversal.
Another unmarked Darien pipe has a
heart shaped base stamp (no. 9) similar to the Stirling examples.
These pipes may have been made in Stirling.
John and James Paterson
are recorded as pipemakers there in 1685 (Gallagher per. comm.).
Conclusion.
The
The lack of Glasgow pipes found in Panama is hard to account for.
third shipment included 21,168 Glasgow pipes of which only one piece can be
attributed (to James Colquohoun, no. 12) and none to the other supplier
William Hyndshaw.
Other pipes are either stamped with the castle, or have
the mark of the Edinburgh maker PC or of the possible Stirling maker, IP.
On fabric grounds the plain types (nos. 1 & 2) belong to Edinburgh makers,
leaving only the two unmarked export styles (nos. 3 & 4) unattributed.
As
we have argued above, these probably belong to the Edinburgh maker, David
Montgomery.
The third phase colonists, who set out with the Glasgow pipes
were given two weeks to pack goods by the Spanish, and so could have taken
many pipes back with them - although it is inconceivable that some were not
broken and discarded.
One possible explanation is that the Glasgow makers
did not mark their products as consistently as those from Edinburgh, and
that their products remain amongst the unmarked pieces not studied in this
present sample.
The pipes from the Olive Branch show a great range of forms - far more
than would be expected from a small shipment (4 gross) of pipes.
Since
they were also found with objects such as a wooden bowl, some may represent
250
personal possessions rather than part of the cargo.
As such they form a
valuable sample of the pipes available at the time of the departure in
1699.
Despite the fact that the Olive Branch set out from the Clyde, none
of the pipes so far found on the wreck can be attributed to Glasgow.
In general the sample of pipes from the Darien Colony represent a
tightly dated group, belonging to the three years 1696 to 1699.
Some of
the unattributed pipes may be private possessions of the colonists, and may
date to a few years earlier.
The bulk of the material has an Edinburgh
origin, although pipes are also represented from Glasgow, possibly Stirling,
and Holland.
