San Francisco, California, 1861. Handwritten Duplicate Copy of a Deposition stating that Charles R. Story, "sole owner" of the ship the Brig Dudley, attests that the ship and its $3000 worth of cargo in lumber never reached her port of destination of Melbourne, Australia. The ship left Humboldt Bay, San Francisco, California in September 1858. She docked at Port de France in New Caledonia in August of 1859, bound for Melbourne but never arrived or was seen of again. The owner swears in the deposition that the ship had never arrived. The ship was insured by the Mutual Insurance Company of New York. Black handwriting on very thin off-blue paper, Red embossed seal on back. Fine to VF condition.
