INTRODUCTION
BY STEPHEN WILLARD PHILLIPS
In 1906, the Essex Institute transcribed and published the Ship Registers of Salem from the original minutes then at the Customs House and now in the possession of the Essex Institute. Later, in 1927, they received the Customs House records of Newburyport and published the Ship Registers of that important port in a similar form. They have now compiled and published a similar volume on the Ship Registers of Gloucester. The Customs House papers of Marblehead have been published in a slightly different form but give a good idea of the owners of the vessels so that now the records of the foreign trade of the important ports of Essex County are more readily avail- able perhaps than any similar records in the country.
When the Constitution was adopted and the Federal Government took over the control of shipping, in 1789, all ships engaged in foreign trade had to be registered. A document was issued and a copy kept at the Customs House giving the name of the ship, its rig and tonnage, where built and the names of the owners and master. When- ever the owners changed, a new document was issued but not when the master changed, so that the records give a complete list of the ships and their owners and many but not all of their masters. Vessels engaged merely in coast- wise trade not visiting foreign ports were not registered but took out papers called enrollment. These are not included, only vessels that intended to visit foreign ports and took out registers are included but these necessarily were the larger and more important vessels and these rec- ords have been on the whole carefully preserved. Of course, in the lapse of a century a few have probably got lost. Some were so illegible or badly written that it is difficult to be sure that the names are correctly spelled but with very trifling exceptions the record is complete and we feel that the transcriptions have been carefully and ac- curately made.
INTRODUCTION
Gloucester had, of course, less real foreign trade than Salem, Newburyport and Marblehead. Comparatively few of their vessels went across the Atlantic or even to the West Indies. The bulk of the vessels included were registered because they expected to put into Canadian ports. Still it is a valuable and important list and we feel that it well deserves publication to round out the his- tory of the foreign trade of Essex County, and also for the important light it throws on family and business his- tory of what has always been the important fishing town of Massachusetts.
SHIP REGISTERS OF THE DISTRICT OF GLOUCESTER, 1789-1875.
COMPILED FROM THE GLOUCESTER CUSTOMS RECORDS, NOW IN POSSESSION OF THE ESSEX INSTITUTE.
The work of assembling in alphabetical order the names of all vessels registered at the Port of Gloucester from 1789 to 1875, together with date of registry, type of vessel, tonnage, measurements, owners and masters, is presented in form similar to the Ship Registers of Salem and Beverly, published by the Essex Institute in 1900, and the Ship Registers of Newburyport, also published by the Institute in 1937.
The District of Gloucester comprised not only the port of Gloucester but Rockport and Manchester as well. All records to 1900 have been deposited in the Essex In- stitute.
Included in this compilation are the early registers which were sent to Washington many years ago in con- nection with the French spoliation claims, and were on deposit in the Treasury Department. The years 1845 to 1857, which are missing from the Gloucester Customs Records deposited at the Essex Institute, have been sup- plied from Department of Commerce copies in the Na- tional Archives. Microfilms of these Registers were sup- plied by the National Archives to the Peabody Museum of Salem, where they were transcribed by Mr. Ralph D. Merritt of the National Archives Project, through the courtesy of Mr. J. W. McElroy, Deputy Archivist for New England. These were in poor condition and out of a total of 342 Registers, 60 were so mutilated or illegi- ble that they could not be transcribed. Consequently only 282 Registers for this period are included in this pub- lication.
It is believed that the list will be found to be fairly accurate and comprehensive as pertaining to foreign- bound vessels belonging to this district. It should be remembered that, in the names of masters of vessels, those only are given who happened to be in command of a ves-

sel when it changed ownership. There were other mas- ters of the same vessel, in many cases, whose names it is not possible to obtain from the registers. The hailing port of each vessel is not given, if belonging to Gloucester.
The Essex Institute is indebted to Col. Lawrence Waters Jenkins, Director of the Peabody Museum, Salem, and to Mr. Walter Muir Whitehill, Assistant Director of the same institution, for valuable suggestions in the com- pilation of this work.
