Sailing Cards
Scope and Contents
65 printed sailing card advertisements from various printers and sailing companies. Most advertise space available to ship from East Coast cities of the United States to West Coast locations. One advertiseing card is for a Clipper ship sailing to Bavaria. These cards seem to be aimed mostly toward shipping cargo and items rather than passengers and all advertise a speedy delivery to their destinations. There are some duplicate advertisement cards within this collection.
