Boston Lloyds was an insurance organization formed as "an Association for the purpose of taking Marine Risks by means of Individual Underwriting", and "by power of attorney, have [ing] each [member] authorized Richard S. Haven to make insurance for them, in their individual capacity, as the said Richard S. Haven may deem proper; and for that purpose to perform all acts necessary to the proper fulfillment of the object." There were sixty members, each allowing Haven to commit them up to $500 each. One of the firms was S. C. Thwing & Co. of Boston, whose commitment document this is. Its primary owner was Supply Clap Thwing (1798-1871), a wealthy businessman with roots tracing back to the Pilgrims. He was active in the mercantile trade between the East Indies and New Orleans, was a ship owner, and active in the coal trade. Richard S.
