Masters of Merchantmen (1788)
The Columbian Herald of Charleston carried regular shipping news about movements and mishaps of merchant vessels. These reports typically give the type of vessel, the name of the vessel, surname of the master, and (for ships arriving) whence they had come, or (for ships departing) their proposed destination. Most of the traffic was with other American ports (over 700 ships a year), Britain (about 150), and the West Indies.
