500 Under the Navigation Acts colonial officials were required
to maintain records of the shipping that entered and left
American ports. Provincial clerks, called naval officers,
gathered the required information and periodically sent
the lists to London. The lists record the date of entry or
departure from port, the ship's name, home port or colony,
style of construction and tonnage, registration, name of
master, and name of owner. They also report the number of
guns and crew, the cargo (including slaves and indentures),
the last port of clearance, the immediate destination, and
the date and location where bond may have been posted.
Bridlington (Burlington), Perth Amboy, and Salem were New
Jersey's ports of entry. A good part of the incoming
shipping carried slaves from Africa and the West Indies.
Available lists in this collection include the following
ports: Bridlington (Burlington) 1732-45, 1748, 1749-51,
1754-56, and 1763-64, Perth Amboy 1722-27, 1732-34, 1740-
51, 1754-59, and 1763-64, and Salem 1736-51. An
introduction at the beginning of the reel contains the
provenance, background on naval officers and the naval
office shipping lists, information specifically about the
New Jersey lists, and a bibliography of related works.
