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]
