Thanks Annette. I’ve posted the title and acknowledged you on the entry. Can you send me (dratwood@nsa.edu) an image file to include with the Belgravian entry? The link you sent connects to what looks like your private photo collection. I’ll change it or delete the image link per your wishes. Let me know. Thanks. And do the other shipboard journal entries appear to be handwritten newspapers as well?

The copy of the Fort Delaware “Prison Times” digitized on the Library of Congress’s “American Memory” site (and reproduced here) is actually owned by the New-York Historical Society, where it is kept with the library’s manuscript collections under the call phrase “AHMC – Fort Delaware.” So, does that bring the total number of known copies to four?
