Charles Barron letters, 1840-1845.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70665731

Letters from Charles Barron to his parents of Topsham, Maine, give information on ships and the shipping trade of New York to New Orleans and to Liverpool, England. Barron's letters from New Orleans, La. (1840-1842) and New York (1842-1845) give detailed information on the crew, cargo and physical condition of the SHARON and other ships in the ports of New Orleans and New York. In a letter from New York he states that low freight rates and the inability to secure passengers for New Orleans, due to the fear of yellow fever, makes it unprofitable to go to sea.
