500 Colonial officials were required by the Navigation Acts to
keep records of all ships that entered and left ports in
America. Provincial clerks, called naval officers,
gathered the needed information and sent the lists to
London periodically. The lists report the date of entry or
clearance 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 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. The New Hampshire returns are listed under
three different geographical headings: the earliest are
for Newcastle, in the 1720s the returns are for Port New
Hampshire, and from 1742 they are for piscataqua, a name
referring to the entire area around the Piscataqua river.
An introduction at the beginning of the reel contains the
provenance, background on naval officers and the naval
office shipping lists, information specifically about New
Hampshire shipping lists, a summary of the reel contents,
and a bibliography of related works.
