Administrative history
The Bessie L. was a 55-foot schooner (45 gross tons) built by Henry Schnare at Mahone Bay in 1890. She apparently was engaged in both the fishery and coastal trading. Her master in 1898 was Captain Lantz (possibly James C. Lantz of Clearland).
Custodial history
Originally acquired in the 1970s by David and Marilyn Janigan from the Crossland’s antique store, the documents were donated in 2017 by Karen Janigan (Acc. Nos. 2019.3.1-10).
Scope and content
Fonds consists of ten bills of lading for cargo shipped from Halifax to various consignees in Mahone Bay and Blockhouse.
