SHIPPING AND SHIPBUILDING – NEWFOUNDLAND, LIVERPOOL AND BRISTOL
Footnotes
The main business of Carson, Dennison & Parry concerned the import of cod and cod oil from St. John's, Newfoundland with its sale either in the English, Scottish and Irish markets or further afield in Sicily, Malta and Gibraltar. Ancillary trade was also conducted in the import of rum and sugar from the West Indies as well as exporting other cargo back to Newfoundland. The wider situation is touched upon with brief references to the political state of affairs in Portugal and Spain. The business of convoys is much discussed with many requests to the Admiralty that single vessels might be allowed to make passage on their own to Newfoundland.
