Description: These mostly relate to the work of the firm’s Ship Department in the 1860s and 1870s. The Ship Department's work was centred upon the management of the tea clippers Black Prince [HC18.1]; Norman Court [HC18.2]; and Chaa Sze [HC18.3]; The surviving papers are remarkable in terms of their completeness and include specifications and plans, building accounts, voyage accounts, crew lists and other crew papers and invoices for the supply of equipment and stores. The department also supervised the construction of ships in British yards for foreign owners and there are correspondence, technical papers, plans and accounts, covering the years 1867 to 1874 [HC18.4]; There are also a small number of bail bonds, dated 1868 to 1879 [HC18.5].
