Research Note

Measuring Ship Tonnage - 1844

Mike Graff

I found the following material on-line.

SOURCE:

The Library of Congress [American Memory]
A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation:
U.S. Congressional Documents and Debates, 1774 - 1875
Bills and Resolutions, House of Representatives,
28th Congress, 2nd Session
Bill 488 of 645 PREV IMAGE | NEXT IMAGE [5 separate page images]
From here through here.

The source materials are in the form of image files - one image per page. I copied, squared up, cropped, and sharpened the images, and then pasted them into a word document that was printed to a single PDF file.

I found this link not long ago, and thought it useful, as well: Builder's Old Measurement
