Antique 1794 USA Maritime history William Gray famous Mass Trader Ship Builder
Letter from William"Billy" Gray to Winthrop Gray about clipper ship he was building. William Gray was a famous American East-India Trading Company Trader out of Salem Massachusetts. These maritime traders began American Capitalism. Becoming our first self made millionaires. The maritime history of the East Indian Trade Companies in America changed the face of relations with Great Britain at the time making trade allies from former war enemies. William Gray and others from Salem Massachusetts. New England and the East Coast down through South Carolina, owned and made clipper ships that were faster and held more cargo at the time, replacing them as innovations progressed. Information about William Gray and the names of Clipper ships he owned and types of cargo to and from Salem Massachusetts can be found by an Internet search of William ... moreGray. Billy Gray, maritime 1794. Books about the trade ships clipper ships also document William Gray as ship owner, builder and trader and one of wealthiest East India Trade Companies owners. The subject matter in this letter is about a clipper ship being built at the time. Very interesting and historical snapshot in maritime history of how a clippership for trade overseas would be built and the expenses. Faster, lighter yet able to hold more cargo, they were innovations at the time. He describes what the different parts of the ship will cost and its specifications. Size, smaller boats on board, and generally what it will look like as the ship was being built in September of 1794. From family estate. See pictures for best description. Suitable for framing as a maritime collectable. The letter's contents are on front side of long paper. Will ship with eBay damage insurance iincluded in price for amount paid. Buyer cannot purchase more insurance than amount paid to cover damage during shipping per insurance rules. If damaged must contact me within two days of tracked receipt and return to me within the 14 day period and I will refund your ship back costs as well as amou

The Gentlemans Club Steamship Company 19thC Rare Antique Naval Maritime History
The Gentleman's Club Steamship Company 19thC Rare Antique Naval Maritime History This is a historically interesting ceramic plate. It is an example of pearlware with its bluish grey hue. It was a piece from the Boston Mill Steamship Company and would date to around 1850. In all likelihood this would have been produced by a Staffordshire pottery as England was still the centre of world ceramic production in the Victorian era. It has an early brown transfer print with a delightful depiction of the"Gentleman's Club" Surrounded by all different vessels. For me it is just wonderful to hold a piece like this and consider the stories behind it as it would have been used on board. The plate measures approximately 8 inches in diameter. The plate is in good condition. There are however some flaws I could say are very minor age related ... morecrazing and very minor discolouration, and a chip to the bottom base inner rim. I have several other interesting antique plates from the pottery and would significantly discount postage on multiple buys. Whilst I feel I hav e set a fair price for this piece based on its quality and condition. I am more than open to reasonable offers as I would love for it to find a nice new home.

No2 Mess Plate 19thC Rare Antique Naval Maritime History Blue White Transfer
No2 Mess Plate 19thC Rare Antique Naval Maritime History Blue White Transfer This is a historically interesting ceramic plate. In all likelihood this would have been produced by a Staffordshire pottery. It has an early blue and white transfer print. The piece is a mess plate from the men's dining areas of one of the naval warship fleet of the mid 19th century. In particlular it is from Mess No 2. Crew members had to purchase their own individual plates. In fact the promise of a regular meal was one of the main attractions of a life at sea. For me it is just wonderful to hold a piece like this and consider the stories behind it. The plate measures approximately 8 inches in diameter. The plate is in very good condition indeed. There are absolutely no chips or cracks- the only flaws I could say are very minor age related crazing and very ... moreminor discolouration. I have several other interesting antique plates from the pottery and would significantly discount postage on multiple buys. Whilst I feel I hav e set a fair price for this piece based on its quality and condition. I am more than open to reasonable offers as I would love for it to find a nice new home.

From the Phillip Schwartz Collection(Ex Vice President of Colt Firearms Mfg. Constructed of five seperate pieces of wood. Measuring just under 28" tall, she was most likely much taller at one point. As evidenced by the signs of fire charring around the back of the base, it is likely that the piece was cut off a salvaged or wrecked vessel. A ship's figurehead was looked upon as being one of the most important parts of a ship, and certainly would have been saved if it was possible. Excellent patina overall, with a few age cracks. Some original hand forged bronze nails can be seen(see photos) while a few later nails were added to assist in holding her chest ... morein place. A truly stunning piece of nautical history.

Orange Sunderland Lustre Pudding Set 19thC Maritime History Naval Victorian 1840
Orange Sunderland Lustre Pudding Set 19thC Maritime History Naval Victorian 1840 This is a fabulous and highly unusual complete 19th century dessert service. It would have been made by one of the Sunderland area potteries around 1840-1860. The lustre technique was achieved with the addition of mineral salts to the firing of the piece in the kiln- creating a lovely iridescence. Most Sunderland pieces had a maritime theme because it was so much a part of the lives of the people up there. These bowls however. Also have religious and moral warnings in the typically Victorian taste. The large bowl measures 13 inches by 5 inches. The pudding bowls measure approximately 6 by 3 inches The set is in on the whole good condition for their age but with tiny flaws. One bowl does have a hairline crack of approximately 2 inches, there are a few other smaller ... morecracks, varying degrees of discolouration and fading, but no chips(bar small nibbles to some bottom base foot-rims) or significant damages. The set consists of ten pieces. The large basket centrepiece measuring 16.5 inches by 12, surrounded by 9 little individual dishes measuring 7 inches by 6.

There are brief expense records for meals in places such as the Spring Tavern, and(in Frederic? the Brick Tavern. Digging around online, I did find at the Fulton History site a reference to the newly fitted Schooner Yaratilda“arrived from Baltimore” in the 1834 or 1835 NEW YORK MORNING COURIER newspaper. I would consider adding a BUY IT NOW price for a fair offer above the modest starting bid price. Thanks!
