This framed historical maritime document is an original Bill of Sale for an Enrolled Vessel, issued under the authority of the United States of America. The document records the lawful transfer of ownership of a registered vessel, complete with handwritten entries, official formatting, and period typography typical of 19th-century nautical commerce. Such documents were essential for proving legal ownership, registry status, and compliance with federal maritime law. Elegantly presented in a gold-tone frame with a velvet-backed easel stand, this piece offers strong appeal for collectors of maritime history, legal ephemera, early American documents, or nautical décor. An excellent display item with authentic historical character.
