THRE MARINE RECORD. FACSIMILE OF AN OLD BILL OF LADING, Through the courtesy of the Railway Review, Chicago, we are enabled to present to the sailing community of the Jakes a fac simile of a cen- tury old bill of lading. Judging from the docu- ment there was a consider- able Res of piety in ve mat- ter of command, as the mas- ter instead of being in the ws’ employ of Moneymaker & Co., or Graball & Loesit was enrolled under the numbers i of the Supreme Ruler by b/ whose direct’ guidance she es ; 4 was expected to reach her ort of destination in safety. X o account seems to be taken Soi FLE of the vessel being well man- ped by the Grace of God, in good Order and: wel Condition’d , by CAMPION HESKETH & G°, s in and upon the good Ship.called the ZB. whereof is Mafter , under God, for this prefent Voyage and now riding at Anchor in the River DOURO and by God’s Grace bound for apn Bearytand —— bY) Sew Hog h iad 90 tine ie ' Yaled to fay ; being -mark’d and number’d as in the Margin, and are.to be delivered in the like good Order and well Condition’d , at the aforefaid Port of xKax. an. vesd Gooey. ocr, the Zz Miperhraker aes Danger of the Seas only excepted) uti g7*Qwr gor ed, good pumps, an or- ’ si = ough equi ment, nor was it wes ED ed PekieerL ati cowd aboard oavagh or to %z7 _Affigns, he or they paying Freight for: the faid Goods 2 yy fay ee gear to fitout a second ves- sel, unless indeed it was mu- tually understood that all of these should be found in a well apparaled vessel. Be this as it may, itis aforegone con- clusion that the mariners who jammed the wind across “the Atlantic in the double ended serving mallets of a century ago, knew well how to keep them afloat and handled their vessels in a skillful and seamanlike manner. “a wDilladd poyppe) : th’ Primage and pial ganas In Witnefs whereof the Mafter, or Purfer of the faid, Ship hath affirn’d to three Bills: of Lading, all of this Tenor and Date ; the one of which three Bills being accomplifh'd,. the other twoto ftand void.
