Series I. Ships' Papers is divided into two subseries. Subseries A. Shipbuilding Papers include correspondence, bills, and some drawings pertaining to the construction of several of the larger Fernald and Petigrew ships. In addition, these papers document the remarkable Fernald and Petigrew clipper ships. Material associated with the clipper Typhoon includes a letter from the ship's supercargo in Liverpool complaining of leaks and an inept crew. The papers of the clipper Red Rover contain drawings of the layout of the vessel. See Appendix I for a list of vessels built or refitted by Fernald and Petigrew Shipyard.
