500 Under the Navigation Acts, colonial officials kept records
of shipping that entered and left ports in America. The
naval officer, who was the clerk of the naval office in
each province, gathered lists of shipping and periodically
sent them to London. These lists include the date of entry
or clearance from port, the ship's name, the home port or
colony, the style of construction and tonnage,
registration, name of master, and name of owner. They also
describe 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. This collection provides lists
for the port of St. Augustine in East Florida. East
Florida was established as a British province by the
Proclamation of 1763. A naval officer was stationed in St.
Augestine in 1764; his reports begin at that point. An
introduction at the beginning of the reel contains the
provenance of the collection, background on naval officers
and the shipping lists, information specifically about the
East Florida lists, a summary of the lists, and a
bibliography of related works.
