In den WarenkorbAn unrecorded Civil-War era broadside, approx. 12" x 9¼", generally fine condition. With two ornamental woodcuts of sailing ships, and printed in wood and metal types. According to the Dictionary of American Fighting Ships, the USS Gemsbock was a 622-ton bark armed with four 8-inch guns and two 32-pounders. "Assigned to the Sout…hern Atlantic Blockading Squadron, Gemsbock sailed from Boston on the 6th of September, 1861 for her duty station off Wilmington . On the 18th of October the British brig Ariel, loaded with salt, was captured off Wilmington." Salt was of vital importance during the war, used as a food preservative and also in the tanning of leather. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman said "salt is eminently contraband." Judge Cadwalader, appointed to the District Court in 1858 by President Buchanan, did a lot of work in Admiralty law, so it makes sense that he would have overseen this case.
