Summary
  1. The ship Anne was owned by merchant, politician and slave trader James DeWolf (1764-1837) of Bristol, Rhode Island, and his partners. It was built in Braintree, Massachusetts in 1807 and sold in 1848. In December 1837 the ship embarked on a whaling voyage to the Pacific, returning in June 1840. The collection (93 items) comprises receipted invoices, notes, and bills of lading, 1837-1839, relating to the refitting and supply of the ship Anne for a whaling voyage. Invoices are addressed to James DeWolf (spelled D'Wolf) and his estate, Ship Anne and owners, and agent Byron Diman. Charges date roughly from April to late December, 1837, the month of DeWolf's death; payment notes and other items date to 1839. Included are invoices for boarding and clothing for the crew, giving individual names. Some large purchases are apportioned to other ships owned by DeWolf.
