Additional Details

Henry Peter Husted (1803-1870) was a Jersey City resident who operated a Manhattan shipping warehouse at 221 South Street. Typical entries in this register give the name of the ship, port of origin, owner, date of cargo entry and description, date of withdrawal, and fees charged. Merchants sometimes left their goods in the warehouse for a year or more. For example, the first entry is for 300 cases of licorice from Liverpool left in the warehouse on 20 September 1854; they were retrieved in three batches in February 1856. Other cargoes left with Husted include cigars, wine, coffee, yarn, silk, hemp, raisins, rubber, and much more, mostly from international ports in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Husted does not sign his name to this register, but an inserted invoice appears on his letterhead which matches the entry on page 306.
