• Location: Port Huron, Michigan.
• History:
• Nelson Little and William Brown became joint owners of the Barclay in late 1866. Both men were likely involved in shipping or maritime commerce, using the Barclay for local and regional transportation.
• The vessel’s gross tonnage (53.23 tons) suggests it was well-suited for carrying smaller loads, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses requiring reliable transport across the lakes.
• Ownership at this time reflects the vessel’s value as a working schooner during its declining years before its eventual loss in 1868.
