About Ebenezer Bowditch, Capt.
Ebenezer was a shipmaster, known as Captain Bowditch. His ship the armed galley "Mary" was shipwrecked in a hurricane at Port Royal, Jamaica, on October 22, 1726. He is listed as a proprietor at New Salem in 1742. He seems to have inherited his grandfathers faculty of being unfortunate in money matters, for it is stated that in addition to losing his own fortune, he borrowed and lost the savings of his son Habakkuk.
