Description:
No Place: No Publisher, 1853. Unbound. Good. Act of Agreement broadside. Single sheet, printed on both sides. Appears dated 1853. Measures roughly 22 by 19 ¾ inches. An agreement between the master and seamen of the ship Meridian, captained by John Manson. With twenty-eight handwritten names of the various crewmembers. Some appear to be in their own hand, although most appear written in the same hand with "his 'x' mark" written in between the first and last names, presumably the marks of those who could not sign their own names. This also provides their stations on board, as well as monthly wages and advance wages paid. Nine crewmembers apparently deserted in Liverpool, England (deserted LP written next to their names) with three others perhaps deserting before setting sail. The Meridian was to leave Boston in July of 1853 and head to St. John, New Brunswick before sailing to Liverpool. Manson captained Meridian from 1851-54 and was from the South Shore area of Massachusetts, perhaps of the Barque… Read More
