Original 1899 Prince Line ocean freight Bill of Lading, measuring approximately 10.25 x 14.5 inches, issued in New York for a shipment destined for Buenos Aires, Argentina. The document has a particularly attractive late-19th-century maritime design, with the large PRINCE LINE heading and a printed red company flag bearing the Prince of Wales feathers.
Dated September 23, 1899, the bill records cargo received from what appears to be Samuel Pierce Organ Pipe Co. for carriage aboard the steamship Saxon Prince to Buenos Aires. The handwritten cargo description appears to read \"Eight (8) Cases Metal Organ Pipes & Material.\" This makes the piece especially interesting as both maritime/shipping ephemera and documentation of the late-19th-century American organ-building trade.
The form identifies James Knott, Managing Director, and lists Prince Line service to Montevideo, Buenos Ayres, Rosario and other Parana River ports, with John C. Seager Company, Agents, Produce Exchange, New York. It retains period handwritten freight calculations, signatures, endorsements and shipping/office stamps.
The reverse is largely unused but retains the original printed cargo manifest columns for marks, packages, description of goods, measurements, quantities and value.
A strong crossover piece for collectors of ocean liner and steamship memorabilia, maritime history, New York commercial ephemera, Argentina/Buenos Aires material, organ-building history, musical instrument history, Prince Line material, and 19th-century bills of lading.
Authentic period piece related to family, historyor local heritage - well-suited for historical collections, genealogical /genealogy research, or museum acquisition.Vintage or Antique.
