Additional Details



A fascinating record of early American maritime trade, listing names of ships, owners, ports of destination and embarkation, the value of cargo expected to be brought back, and whether the ship returned to port. Most of the ships are destined for the West Indies, though it also lists the Ship Tonquin, owned by famed explorer Edmund Fanning, leaving for the "Fugee Islands and China."<
