"jilt shops"
I've been trying to find out what "jilt shops" were. In Googling, all I've found so far are scanning errors in which "gift shop" was mistakenly read as "jilt shop" (or "Hat shop" as "Jilt shop"). Sadly, I don't have access to the Bergen book which is the source of the term in this article. Were jilt shops really a thing, or was the term invented by flawed technology? --

Aha! Thanks for that. Apparently I need to get better at searching. --

Ann Street in the 19th century
The term "
weigh anchor" is used incorrectly; the meaning is exactly opposite to the usage in this section. Fortunately there's a Wikipedia page that gives the correct usage. As a former Navy officer, I suggest the much more nautical "made port" or "came ashore." ☺Dick Kimball (
