| Description: | In a pilot study, which appeared in the April 1972 issue of the Journal of Negro History, I assessed the black presence on American ships in foreign commerce at Newport, Rhode Island, prior to the Civil War. The Newport study was part of an ongoing examination of the Bureau of Customs crew lists, shipping articles, manifests, ship registers, and protection papers begun in the early 1960s. These documents lend themselves to a wide variety of historical, social, and economic analyses. |
