- 19TH CENTURY SEAFARING, 15 LETTERS BY
19TH CENTURY SEAFARING, 15 LETTERS BY J RUTHERFORD 15 readable documents related to Captain John Rutherford (1762-1814). A manuscript archive of John Rutherford, he was a captured Revolutionary war soldier and merchant seaman. During one of his many expeditions, in a correspondence dated May 11, 1800, the letter describes how he was robbed of his valuables after his ship, the brig 'Nathaniel,' was captured by a French privateer ship called the 'Little Liberty Commands.' Then a letter dated Oct 9, 1809 with the entry" I am once more a prisoner, I was captured by a small privateer...who took us to St Martins..." Following with another letter posted in a stampless cover from Norfolk, VA dated Sept 10th, 1811, having one entry describing his feeling about his brother who had escaped during the Great Newburyport Fire of May 31, 1811, when the bulk of the town burned down. With heartfelt advice using nautical comparisons. Another letter describes leaving Newburyport on August 15, 1809 in the schooner 'Two Sons,' as the master, and being captured by a privateer schooner. The master being Mathew Paien, and taken to St Martins with full discharge of goods being carried out and quantities listed. There are several deeds, a letter of condolence for the loss of his wife from a friend and some papers and correspondence of his wife Jane and a document dated Jan 14, 1784, historically the same day as the when the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, officially establishing the United States as an independent and sovereign nation, from Ipswich, which came with the collection but with unrelated names, describing the pay and conditions for a person to work on a boat, with a total archive of 15 different documents.
