Add to basketCondition: Very Good+. Unique. Unique. Letter addressed to Chas. Dering, Sag Harbor, New York. suspected to be Charles T. Dering (1789-1859) of Sag Harbor, New York, was a prominent whale ship owner and whaling agent. The letter discusses the difficulties of importing coffee, "breadstuffs" i.e. flour, cane sugar, spices, and oth…er sundries, and lumber to Europe and the United States by ship from South America. The largest U.S. merchant house operating in Rio de Janeiro at the time, Maxwell, Wright, and Company, published a handbook to trade in that province in 1828. Their guide, "Commercial Formalities of Rio de Janeiro," promotes American trade through detailed descriptions of how to write a ship's manifest, as shown here, the practices of Rio's customs house, the local currency, and even local systems of measurement. The firms' indirect participation in the slave trade took several forms. In the case of the three most important American firms, Maxwell Wright and Co., James Birckhead and Co., and Forbes Valentin and Co., it involved selling (or chartering) ships to slave traders. During the period spanning the de jure abolition of the Brazilian slave trade in 1831 to its de facto closure in 1850, American-made vessels transported almost 430 thousand slaves to Brazil, accounting for over half of all slave disembarkations during this period. The abovementioned firm, played fundamental roles in the expansion of coffee exports to the United States, were identified by the United States' Consul in Rio de Janeiro as playing a major role in providing the vessels, as well as the flag, required for the expansion of the contraband slave trade.
