The collection is contained primarily bills and receipts, etc., for expenses relative to the vessel’s maintenance and the transportation of cargo. Typical expense include bills for towing, wharfage, trimming cargo, fumigating ship, and loading and unloading cargo. Pilot fees and bridge charges are also present, along with numerous other vessel accounts. A limited number of letters can be found in this collection, usually between L. C. Gandy and the master of the PROVIDENCE, discussing cargo or other related matters. |

History of the Schooner PROVIDENCE
The PROVIDENCE was a 379 ton schooner, built by G. P. Wentzel of Dennisville, N.J. in 1874. She appears in the A.B.S. RECORD through 1889, with R.S. Leaming listed as owner. During the period covered by these papers PROVIDENCE made approximately 132 trips from the Philadelphia/New Jersey area to various ports along the coast, carrying coal and other bulk cargo. Included is a voyage to Mantanzas, Cuba for sugar, but most trips were to ports in Massachusetts and Maine with loads of coal. Lewis C. Gandy’s name appears throughout this collection. He was master of the PROVIDENCE for awhile, and later seems to have been the vessel’s agent.
