Records for the Deucalion, Jacob Perkins, Lochinvar, Maulius, Timoleon, and Pharsalia survive. Most of the freight lists show the workings of the cotton trade between New Orleans and Liverpool and are figured in pounds rather than dollars. Other lists show goods shipped to or from Boston and Havana, including apples, mackerel, sugar, ink, oil, wine, paper, and anchors. This series includes several different types of materials related to various aspects of maritime commerce. Four documents reflect informal notes between Winsor and his business associates.
Some items detail the depth and breadth of ship provisions.
Included in the latter are twelve barrels of beef, a barrel of flour, a keg of lard, fifty boxes of dried apples, a bottle of ketchup, and two pigs. There are also numerous undated calculations, notes, and signatures. There are several letters from Baring Brothers and others from various commercial houses in England. One letter from Edward Tobey gives a brief statement of Winsor's financial activities, including his purchase of railroad stock. The money went for depositions, attorneys' fees, clerk's fees, and arguing the Ames v. Winsor case.
