http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/141242060

Collection consists of three series related to different members of the Lee Family of Cumberland County, New Jersey. The papers of James and Thomas Lee (c.1803-1835) consist of receipts, correspondence, bills of sale, and contracts regarding a number of ships owned by the Lee family. The collection includes papers pertaining to the schooners Two Brothers, Cincinnati, Eliza Young, Transport, Deborah, and Industry and the sloops Lorana & Jane, Ploughboy, Betsey, and James of Philadelphia, as well as the brig Ocean. Papers from some unidentified ships are also in this collection. Francis B. Lee's letters (1896) regard the rescue of the crews of two ships, the American bark S.R. Bearce and the schooner Carrie A Buckman by Capt. Harry Chester of the tug Gladisfen off the coast of Bermuda. The final series of the collection consists of clippings from New York newspapers, related to a variety of Navy, merchant and pleasure ships. Of special interest are a number of clippings about the Columbia's speed trial.
