Considerable detail on the slave ship Haidee...
Item # 683977
October 05, 1858
NEW YORK TIMES, Oct. 5, 1858 The ftpg. has: "The Montauk Point Mystery Explained" "A New York Slave-Ship Scuttled Off Long Island" "Nine Hundred Slaves Landed by the Haidee in Cuba" "Arrest of the Mate and Five of the Crew--Description of the Ship" with the text taking over a full column.
It mentions in part: "...that the Haidee was fitted out at this port...sailed to the coast of Africa, where she took in a cargo of 900 slaves. She then sailed for Cuba L& the slaves were landed at Cardenas...the reason the vessel was scuttled was that she had no papers by which she could enter any port..." with so much more.
Also on the front page: "Another Successful Debarkation of Slaves--Vigilance of General Concha--Activity of the Slave-Trade..." which concerns the Haidee as well. There is a related article on page 4 as well: "The Long Island Mystery".
Eight pages, very nice condition.
