b. The handwriting in many places had been overwritten to such an extent that it was practically unreadable. Every effort has been made to transcribe as much of the information as was possible. I have transcribed accurately, obvious spelling and other errors included.c. In some instances, most notably persons 444 Jane Elwell and 445 Sarah Lott, the sex indicated is obviously in error. The transcription is true and accurate as it appears on the photocopied original manifest.
Note from ISTG:
As the port on the Manifest is only written as San Juan del Norte we are unsure if this is the port in Nicaragua. San Juan del Norte (formerly Greytown), Nicaragua, port on Caribbean Sea at mouth of San Juan River, at extreme s.e. point of Nicaragua; once a major port; in California gold rush, it thrived as e. terminus of transisthmian transportation company; port identified with filibustering activity of William Walker; pop. 440. Further research suggested.
Correspondence Notes: Dianne Levy is working on biographies of Captain James H. Blethen and his son Captain James H. Blethen, Jr., both were master mariners and important to the development of California. Visit her website at Maritime Heritage More Correspondence: Date: 7/31/99 In 1852 transcript for the S. S. Prometheus you write that there is some question as to the port of departure. I have included below an excerpt from a gold rush diary in which the writer describes their approach to the port in 1851 and taking passage on the Prometheus. Of course, this is in 1851, not 1852, but it is reasonable to assume the ship was visiting the same port. The passage from the diary is also notable because it describes the cost of passage and the conditions on board. EXCERPT: "Monday, Jan. 5th., 1851 I will again note the incidents of jou[r]ney which have lately been but indifferently drawn. We passed Christmas in Granada, to me it was an unhappy Christmas, for it brought to my mind strong reflections of home. How I wished to be there, and how they might be spending it there, but enough of this, and a short discription of Christmas in Central America. We left part of our company guarding our baggage, which we left in an open shed, and went to Granada to spend the night. In the evening commenced the holidays by marching in great numbers, and singing about the streets. The church bells continued ringing all night, which with the continual bursting of rockets, kept a continual noise. In the morning Cock fighting and carrying the priest about the City in his chair which was the principle amusement of the day. On the morning of the 26th. we embarked again in a ships long boat at $20 passage, we stayed all night at the Islands, then started across. after a fatiguing sail and row of eight days and five nights we landed at San Carlis, after eating out our provisions, much of which was spoiled and starving two days. San Carlis is situated on Lake Nicaragua at the head of San Juan river and has about 15 dwellings, The fort is situated here. On the morning of Jan. 2nd. we left San Carlis in bungos for San Juan about 120 miles down the river, on the Caribbean Sea. here we had an unpleasant journey like all the rest. but good luck happened to be with us once, by which it was rather shorter than we expected, for in ½ day and two nights we landed in San Juan. The river is rather a pleasant river. the banks are covered with trees and vines very dense so that you could scarcely see 20 feet from the edge of the water in many places. The bank is very low, probably ½ the water flows back among the trees and brush for miles and miles What is strange, is the foliage being so dense you may be within one hundred feet of the edge of the river and cannot tell whether it is 20 feet bank or 10 feet water. There are two considerable rapids, on the lower of which lies the steamer Nicaragua. The other steamer having passed up a few days since and now plying in the Lake. San Juan looks rather more Americanized than we have seen since we left the States but bad enough at best. It contains about 500 inhabitants but no more. A man has just told us that a steamer is coming in and we are waiting and boarding ourselves. Saturday, Jan. 11th, The steamer proved to be the Promethius of New York, and landed at 5 O,clock. Passage from $100 to $125. we thought it too high and called a [bluff] and decided not to give it. They would not take less. We then decided to take passage for Chagres at 2on. the 9th. passage the same. Took steerage. Very bad. Much crowded. Cant sleep below. Little to eat and hard to get it. but will try and bear it out to save $45. U.S. Steamer arrived on the 10th. few passengers. Left Chagres on the 10th. at 11 P.M. with about 200 strange passengers & 100 cabin men. This morning we find ourselves in a fine steamer some 60 or 70 miles start. pointing toward home, now I begin to calculate on getting there. With the best prospect yet, with fair luck in about two weeks I will have the pleasure (and how great will be that pleasure) of embracing those dear to me from whom I have been separated nearly two years. Sunday, Jan. 14th, 1851 We are still on our way making but tolerable speed on account of the wind being very heavy against us. We are now off Haiti or St. Domingo As for fare we have had it rough enough. there being about 200 to eat and not more than 30 can get to the table at one time, so when anything is brought up, there is a dead rush, every one grabbing what he can get and some none. Each one taking what he can get and taking a seat where he can get it. Often when there is a great rush the ship will strike a heavy sea and men, plates, cups & provisions will be scattered all over deck. but we are now one third the way and there is some hope of it terminating." My greatest hope is that some ship expert can tell more about this vessel, the Prometheus/Promethius and its voyages, particularly the one mentioned in the diary. Contact John
