<B>Archive of Accounts for the 18th Century Philadelphia Schooner <I>Nimrod</B></I>,</B></I> consisting of eight manuscript documents, approximately 14 pages, 4to., 1782-1784. This collection offers a fascinating look at an American merchant vessel's financial records during the waning days of the Revolution and its immediate aftermath. Wages, cargo manifests and creditors are named. The <I>Nimrod,</B></I> owned in large part by Samuel Morris & Co., appears to have primarily conveyed commodities such as flour up and down the Eastern Seaboard and over to Cuba. Small splits and stains as expected. Very good condition. <I>From the collection of Henry E. Luhrs.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
