"Immigrant Ships." The Palatine Immigrant Vol. VII No. 1, Summer
1981, pp 31-32. The ship (and therefore
three-masted) Patience made annual runs to Philadelphia from 1748
to 1753, with the exception of 1752 when she arrived at
Annapolis.
Klaus Wurst has given particulars: the Patience was a 200-ton
ship, had 8 guns, and a crew of 16. (For comparison, the Cutty
Sark, the most famous clipper ship of the 19th century, had a net
tonnage of 921 tons, and measured 212' in length, 36' in width, and 21' in depth. Clipper ships carried passengers, but were
built for speed and cargo.) In 1748, the Patience carried 122 men
over 16 (total passengers not given); in 1749, 137 men, 270
persons; in 1750, 124 men, 266 persons; in 1751, 255 persons; in
1752, 260 persons; in 1753, 108 persons.
"Immigrant passengers were densely packed, with little space, often with poor food and bad water. Under such conditions, disease was a commonplace. Some captains were considerate and kept to the terms of the contract, but not all. It is worth noting that the total passengers on the Royal Enterprise (1750) were given as 'souls'; more often, passengers were listed as 'Palatines' or 'Foreigners', but sometimes as, 'Freights', as if they were mere cargo.
"Upon arrival at Philadelphia, males over the age of 16 were taken to the City Hall for the oath of allegiance, then led back to the ship. Those who had their passage money, or could borrow it, were released. The others were consigned to merchants, and announcements were printed in newspapers. Buyers bargained with the passengers for a stated period of service, and paid the merchant the passage money and any other debts.
Families were often divided on arrival, as children were 'sold' to pay the family's passage.
"Passengers who were sick were not allowed to land. If there
was infectious disease on board, the ship had to remove one mile
from the port. In 1743, the Assembly at Philadelphia purchased
Fisher Island, later named Province Island, its buildings to be
used as a hospital. In 1754, 253 persons died there, as recorded
in the accounts of one undertaker. Burial expenses were assumed
by the merchants to whome the passengers had been consigned."
