Partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 10.75 x 14.75, February 29, 1832. Scallop-topped ship's pass issued for "the Brig Lima, of Kennebunk, George Perkins master or commander of the burthen of 260 tons or thereabouts, mounted with no guns, navigated with 11 men, To Pass with her Company, Passengers, Goods and Merchandize without any hinderance, seisure or molestation." Signed at the conclusion by President Jackson and countersigned by Secretary of State Edward Livingston. The white paper seal remains affixed to the lower left corner. Framed to a slightly larger size and in very good to fine condition, with moderately heavy overall wrinkling to the vellum. An especially appealing example of Jacksonian maritime history, issued to a Maine brig at the height of New England’s seafaring trade and further distinguished by its scarce leap-year date of February 29, 1832.
