MS15 - Ships' Papers
Collection
Collection Overview: Arranged
alphabetically by ship, these papers include
bills of sale, insurance policies, surveys of
loss, crew lists, cargo inventories, wages,
supplies and lay transfers.
Historical Note: Nantucket Island,
until the early 20th century, had always
relied on ships for her survival. During the
whaling era, great sailing ships traversed
the oceans in search of whales. When whaling
became unprofitable, many ship owners
refitted their ships to carry cargo and
passengers on trans-ocean voyages or, during
the gold rush, to California. “Coasters”
sailed along the Eastern seaboard moving
freight from one port to another including
Nantucket. These “Coasters” provided food,
fuel and other necessities for the Island.
Beginning in the early 19th century,
Nantucket was also serviced by steamboats.
Steamers provided a daily connecting lifeline
bringing passengers, mail and other goods
from the mainland.
