Manuscript Ship\'s Log, Brig Susan Soule, October 17, 1946-March 9, 1848. Softcover. Oblong Folio (8 1/2x 13 3/4\") of 80 pages, handwritten in ink. Some slight foxing and discoloration, but overall in very good condition. Describes arrivals and departures, wind and weather, latitude and longitude, shipboard life and commercial activities (such as \"taking on lumber\"), and other vessel sightings.
The Brig Susan Soule, captained by George Bacon and Charles Bacon, carried cargo mainly along the Eastern and Southern coasts of the United States and in the Caribbean.
This well-preserved and legiblemanuscript ship\'s log records the details of two voyages during the years1846-1848. The first voyage, lasting from October 1846 to February 1847, takes the Susan Soule from Portland, Maine, to Puerto Rico, to New Orleans, to Charleston, South Carolina, and finally to New York, where the voyage ends.
The second voyage, lasting from October 1847 to March 1848, takes the Susan Soule from New York to Charleston, to Havana, to New Orleans, and again back to New York. The log ends here.
Later available records, from the 1850\'s, show the Susan Soule continuing to operate in the same and other waters. On October 22, 1851, she was cleared at Portland to sail for Guayana Region, Venezuela. On January 21, 1852, she arrived at Portland from Bonaire, a Caribbean Island.
Although mainly an East Coast ship, she was cleared at San Francisco on January 11, 1855, for sailing to the San Blas Islands, Panama.
Finally, The Susan Soule sailed from Cuba for Philadelphia on September 7, 1856, soon ran aground at Playitis Shoals, and was thought to be, according to contemporary news reports, a \"totalloss.\"
