APPENDIX
CONTAINING ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.
Since the publication of this list was begun, a considerable number of vessels have been discovered, owned by Salem merchants, but which for one reason or another were never registered here. Many of them had Salem men as masters and they were often referred to as Salem ships. It therefore has seemed desirable to preserve such facts about them as are known.
The opening of the new Marine Room at the Peabody Acad- emy of Science, together with the publication of these Regis- ters, has aroused an interest in the pictures of ships so that the collection at the Academy of late has gained several orig- inals and a large number of water-color copies of originals. In an effort to make the foregoing list as complete as possible these additional pictures are here noted, and also such omis- sions and corrections as have been discovered.
AERIAL, brig, 161 tons, add : Water-color copy of original painting, at the Peabody Academy of Science.
