Bills of lading, 1836
Scope and Contents
Subseries B. Miscellaneous Shipping Papers is divided into six sub-subseries. Included are Accounts, Bills and Receipts; Cargo and Sales Records; Bills of Lading; Prices Current; Correspondence, and Miscellaneous. The Miscellaneous sub-subseries includes papers of various captains of Pingree ships including Thomas O. Holmes, Francis Quarles, Jr., and Emory Johnson. There are also papers relating to the Ysabelita, a Spanish schooner, bills of sale, and customs forms. There is some overlap in the papers contained in the individual ships’ voyage folders, and those found in the bills of lading, cargo and sales records, insurance policies, and correspondence. Similarly, because some invoices and correspondence were recorded on bills of lading, there may be the former, in the latter’s folder. Documents in this subseries are organized by record type, then arranged chronologically.
