Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: STAR OF THE WEST Clipper ship sailing card. British clipper ship card. It advertises the “well know fast-sailing clipper ship Star of the West, 1296 tons register, H.H. Perry, Commander” departing Prince’s dock - presumably in Liverpool - for Mobile, Alabama, on or about August 30th 1866. “This fine ship has just been reclassed and metalled.” The sailing seems to coincide with the reopening of the cotton trade with Britain following the Civil War. The infrastructure was obviously still dicey, for “all goods to be taken from alongside in Mobile Bay, at shippers’ expense and risk.” The agents were R.L. Gillchrist & Co. and the agents at Mobile were A.J. Ingersoll & Co. |
