Historical/biog note:
Allen Brown (1768-1852) and Henry Dibblee (1778-1840), operated a mercantile shipping business in Albany, New York, from the early 1820s to 1838. They owned a warehouse in Albany along with several vessels used to transport freight on the Hudson River and Erie Canal.
Review:
This record series consists of account books detailing the financial transactions of the mercantile shipping business operated by Allen Brown primarily from 1822 to 1832. The records include a day book that details daily financial transactions chronologically, and ledger books that detail the financial transactions by an account established for a particular party. Throughout the volumes are accounts and entries regarding over fifty different sloops, schooners, canal boats, and steamers. In addition, the names of the captains of these vessels are frequently listed. Shipping lines cited include the Pilot line and the Hudson River Steamboat Company. These ledgers provide information on the commercial shipping activity on the Hudson River and Erie Canal, and commercial activities in the Albany, New York, area.
