But it was the Massachusetts Bay Colony and its successors around the Salem and Boston areas which would come to dominate the New England region in population and economic strength. From 1686, Massachusetts Bay was administratively unified by the English king with the other New England colonies in the Dominion of New England. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Massachusetts_Bay_Colony   (1572 words)

Massachusetts Bay To this the Massachusetts Bay Company agreed, and John Winthrop, a gentleman of wealth and education, one of the strongest and most admirable characters in the pioneer history of America, was chosen governor. The settlers of the Bay colony had their hardships, -- the long, harsh winters, the unfertile soil, the lurking red man, often hostile, and other obstacles common to pioneer life, -- but the growth of the colony was phenomenal. The people of Massachusetts were proud of their theocratic government; they had labored and sacrified much to obtain it, and probably it was the very best for them at the time. www.usahistory.info /New-England/Massachusetts.html   (3109 words)

Massachusetts Bay Company - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) MASSACHUSETTS BAY COMPANY [Massachusetts Bay Company] English chartered company that established the Massachusetts Bay colony in New England. In 1629 the New England Company obtained a royal charter as the "Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England." Almost immediately the emphasis changed from trade to religion, as the Puritan stockholders conceived of the colony as a religious and political refuge for their sect. Since the royal charter did not specify where the stockholders should meet, this arrangement was made, and the Massachusetts Bay Company became the only one of the English chartered colonization companies not subject to the control of a board of governors in England. www.encyclopedia.com /html/M/MassachB1C1.asp   (555 words)

An Analysis of the Impacts of Wastewater Treatment Plant Outfall Relocation on Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Bay and ... As a result of a court-ordered mandate, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) has ceased the discharge of digested sludge to Boston Harbor and is presently constructing a 1,080 MGD secondary (1,200 MGD primary) treatment facility on Deer Island, with a 15.3 km outfall to Massachusetts Bay. In this analysis, the hydrodynamic and water quality models were rerun assuming that the MWRA outfall would be relocated from Boston Harbor into Massachusetts Bay at a distance approximately 15 km east of the current Dear Island outfall and at a water depth of 32 meters. The reason that the outfall will have little impact of Massachusetts Bay and Cape Cod water quality is due, in part, to the fact that the outfall plume will be trapped below the pycnocline of the water column during the summer months. www.hydroqual.com /Papers/jfitzpatrick/a_jjf_01.htm   (862 words)

Metal Concentrations in Sediments of Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay Document Environmental Change   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) As documented in the "State of Boston Harbor Report 1995 " (Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA), 1996: MWRA Technical Report No. 96‚6, 22 p.), beach closures are less frequent, the occurrence of disease in winter flounder is diminished, and oxygen penetration into the sediments is increasing. This long-term monitoring of metals in sediments of Massachusetts Bay has helped define the background concentrations and the natural variability in contaminant levels. The increase after cruise 10 is attributed to the contaminants transported to this depositional center during the unusually intense storm of December 11-16, 1992. marine.usgs.gov /fact-sheets/fs150-97   (986 words)

The Massachusetts Bay Company and Its Predecessors : Genealogical Publishing Company While it is well known that the Massachusetts Bay Company, under the leadership of John Winthrop, ultimately settled Massachusetts Bay in 1630, it is less well understood that the Massachusetts Bay Company's claim on New England was preceded by those of two other joint stock companies. The company's claim was transferred to a new organization, the New England Company for a Plantation in Massachusetts Bay (better known as the New England Company), led by John Endecott.

HPH NOW, September 3, 2004, Shine Combines Public Health and Public Service on Massachusetts Bay Advisory Panel The MWRA’s whale surveys may not be scientifically rigorous–or a strong indicator of the bay’s health–but HSPH Assistant Professor James Shine knows the sightings are necessary because people care about whales. For example, the MWRA initially was required to develop a complex computerized model that could predict how changes to the food chain in Massachusetts Bay would affect whales in the area. After reviewing 10 years of data on Massachusetts Bay, the panel has concluded that some of the monitoring stations set up by the MWRA are redundant and could be dropped from the program. www.hsph.harvard.edu /now/sep3/index.html   (1167 words)
