While researching Sherborn, Dorset records, baptisms for the children of Thomas Gardner were found from the first to the birth before Seeth. On the other hand, Seeth was born in Salem, MA. Was Thomas here at the start of Cape Ann and went back? Questions abound.

New England author, R.A. Douglas-Lithgow, MD, LLD, was a busy guy. Not only was he a medical practitioner, he wrote on the subject. RA wrote on literature. Then, when he came to Boston later in life, he produced notable books (Nantucket, Place Names, etc.) and articles, including contributing to The Massachusetts Magazine.

Both New England and the Gardners had a close tie with all things naval, some of which are lessor known, say ropewalking. Or, if they are not known, they are assumed. One of these is sail making. The motivation for looking at this was trying to understand the difference between the old sail canvas and tent canvas of old. During the Civil War, many sail makers converted to making tents for the U.S. Army as a means to replace business lost to war.
So, looking at the older sail cloth material (acknowledging that modern materials are the focus, now), one thinks of hemp, flax, and cotton. Turns out that linen was the prominent material until cotton was more readily available and treatable. But, wool was in there early.
The following are pointers of interest. A study based upon woolen sails found being used as insulation for old buildings: Viking woollen square-sails and fabric cover factor (pdf - sponsored by Reik Felag). Viking Ship Museum (Woollen sailcloth). Nordic TAG Conference (The introduction of sails to Scandinavia: Raw materials, labour and land).
