Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 3: December, 1846
We believe this to be the first time that'an American vessel has ever been anchored in our river. Capt. B. Certainly has so far surpassed all other traders on this coast, and that too, at the saving of considerable expense to which traders are subject to in lading and unlading their cargo. Instead Of having to pass thr ugh the bar to and from his vessel to land cargo, all was done at our wh s to the gratification of those who made purchases of Capt. B., - to crown the whole affair, near the close of his sales, he gave invitations to some of our citizens to partake of a lunch with him on ship board. We are informed that the entertainment came of quite finely. We were of the invited, but our business was of such a nature, that we had to forego the pleasure of attending.
