  • "Most of the admiralty cases before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania during the years 1789 to 1840 concerned actions for damages arising from collision; for breach of contract for services or goods, chiefly claims for seamen's wages and materials and supplies furnished; and for pilotage, towage, and wharfage fees, bottomry, and marine insurance. There were also suits concerning prize, ransom, and salvage rights; smuggling of goods; illegal transportation of slaves; assault and battery; theft of cargo; embezzlement and fraud; and the illegal transportation of foreign troops by a confiscated U.S. vessel."
  • "The records consist of dockets and case files for admiralty cases heard by the Circuit Court at its sittings in Philadelphia between 1789 and 1840. A typical case file may contain some or all of the following documents: bills of complaint, answers, depositions, transcripts of testimony, exhibits, orders and reports of masters. The exhibits may include copies of original letters, minutes, contracts and accounts, shipping articles, crew lists, logs, manifests and other documents submitted as evidence."
