Port of Boston--Captain\'s \"Bill of Health\" for Crew of His Sloop-1770--RARE ITEM For Sale

Port of Boston--Captain's "Bill of Health" for Crew of His Sloop-1770--RARE ITEM
I am selling a SCARCE, pre-revolutionary war document. It is a sea captain\'s certification that he and the crew members of his sloop are in good health and carry no contagious illnesses. The document reads as follows: \"Bill of Health, Plymouth in the Port of Boston, New England. Thus Certify All Whom It May Concern that the thirteen men now on board the sloop INDUSTRY, Peter Sears master lying in this port, are all in good health, and further, that no plague, pestilence, nor any contagious distemper is at this time prevalent in this port. Given under our hands and seals of our offices at Plymouth the twentieth day of April in the tenth year of His Majesty\'s Reign (George III??? Seller insertion) _?_?_?__Domini 1770. (I cannot decipher the word that precedes Domini--it is not Anno).\" The document carries 2 signatures and 2 seals. I assume one is the Captain of the sloop Industry. The document shows wear and separations along the creases/folds. Measures 7 3/8 X 9 7/8. I will offer this rare maritime document for only $200.00 plus $3.00 S&H in the US.
