Freight Bill from the Sidewheel Steamer Rockland Southwest Harbor Public Library	Document, Financial, Receipt	Vessels, Steamboat		1853-11-02	Southwest Harbor	Copyright Not Evaluated	Freight Bill from the Sidewheel Steamer Rockland Southwest Harbor Public Library Identifier: swhpl-10196 Type: Document, Financial, Receipt Subject: Vessels, Steamboat Date: 1853-11-02 Place: Southwest Harbor Description: A freight bill for 3 casks of lime for Capt. James Long (1814-1895) signed by Jo. R. Freeman [John T.R. Freeman (1838-1916)] and paid at Mt. Desert on November 2, 1853. As can be seen from the account below, "Rockland" was supposed to have been built in 1853 and to have gone into service in 1854, but this bill of lading clearly shows that she was working in the Mt. Desert area as early as November 1853. She may have gone on the water in 1853 and done some freight work in the area before she started her career on the passenger route in 1854. The 1857 date may just be an error. [show more]
