From the Lewis Stanley descendants collection. (See also 2015.316.2077 and 2017.388.2163 Initial review of the annotated Nautical Almanac of 1876 indicates that it records the Carrie M. Richardson's journey east from New York starting June 23, 1876; arriving Seville July 22, and departing Seville August 3. She arrived at Cadiz August 5 and left for Boston August 12. A wonderful addition as Nautical Chart 1 (2017.315.2076) only plots the west to east legs of two 1877 and 1878 Spain-to-Cranberry Isles voyages. Decipher the chronometer dead reckoning entries in this Almanac should enableus to plot the route she sailed to reach Spain. (Scanned July 2017) [show more]

Description:
Harry Alexander Ogden's famous drawing of the S.S. Cambria. The article begins: "In the landlocked waters of Southwest Harbor lies the now muchly talked of Cambria. A more adroit selection for a quiet berth could scarcely have been made; and when we came to take a glance at the trim and taut-looking vessel, we felt inclined to wonder, as with the fly in amber, "how the deuce she got there?” Southwest Harbor is about twenty-three miles from Ellsworth, Maine. To reach it, recalls those tortuous times when our forefathers ventured forth at rare intervals, their wills made, their flasks full, and their powder dry. The journey from New York to Boston, and from thence to Bangor, savors of the nineteenth century, but from Bangor to Ellsworth, and from Ellsworth to Southwest Harbor, speaks loudly of the eighteenth."
