[CIVIL WAR] -- [BLOCKADE]. Marshal's Sale!... Cargo of the Schr. Mary Wood. Philadelphia, PA: N.p., 21 October 1861.
9 7/16 x 11 7/8 in. printed broadside (minor offsetting, small loss to lower left corner); framed to 12 1/2 x 15 3/8 in. (not examined out of frame). Signed in type by William Millward, U.S. Marshal.
Advertisement for the Marshal's sale of the cargo of the Schooner Mary Wood, a Southern merchant vessel owned in North Carolina that was captured off Hatteras in the Union blockade. Captured in mid-September, the Baltimore Sun reported on 18 September 1861 that "The prize ran into Hatteras Inlet early on Monday week, when she was seized by a boat's crew from the Pawnee. The captain ran into the Inlet in ignorance of the fact that the forts were in the hands of the government troops". She carried a cargo of molasses, sugar, and salt which was to be sold at the auction advertised here.
Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
