A signed copy of a manuscript indenture, dated February 6, 1822, between Winship, John French, and William Tucker, detailing French and Tucker's loan to Winship in exchange for a portion of the profits resulting from the ship Zephyr's trade route. A receipt for the loan, the Zephyr's bill of lading, and instructions to the captain of the Zephyr, William Cleaveland, are attached. Other documents include two signed manuscript copies of an 1822 indenture between Winship and various merchants and creditors, describing and assigning cargo on board the ship General Gates and the schooner Wasp; a manuscript copy of an 1824 indenture assigning half of Winship's interest in the cargo of the General Gates to William B. Swett & Co.; an undated manuscript deposition signed by Benjamin Wheeler, agent of the ship Alexander, attesting to the Alexander's dates of departure and return to Boston in the 1790s, and to Abiel Winship's ownership of a portion of the cargo; and a receipt (in Spanish) and invoice related to the expenses of the ship O'Cain. Also includes an ALS from Michael Hogan to Charles G. Loring, the administrator of Abiel Winship's estate, enclosing the O'Cain's statement of account from January 1823 to December 1825 as well as copies of documents related to the O'Cain's removal from the coast of Peru following a warning by Peruvian officials in 1823.
