Boston Port Arrivals and Immigrants, 1715-16, 1762-69
Description:
Rivaled by few other ports in the middle of the 18th Century, Boston
was the destination of many immigrants to British North America. This
collection of port authority records reveals a wealth of information
regarding some of the arrivals in the years 1715-16 and 1762-69. Organized
chronologically, researchers will find the ship's name, captain, date
of arrival, where it sailed from and passengers, if any, who came to
the city. It contains about 5000 names. For those seeking ancestors
who captained vessels arriving in Boston harbor or immigrants who arrived
in the city by ship in the mid 18th Century, this can be an illuminating
database.
