05 May 1812 Sale of Ship "Eliza"

To be sold, in Public Sale, to the highest bidder, at Bristol, on Saturday, the sixth day of June, next,

       That capital, strong and well built ship,

                     The Eliza
       (Robert COLTART, late Master)

       With all her materials, as just arrived from the West Indies, at Bristol aforesaid.

       The Ship is Whitehaven Built, by the late Mr. James SHEPHERD; therefore it is unnecessary to say that she was well built, and of the strongest and best Materials.; being then calculated either for the coal or any Foreign
Trade; and is now completely copper sheathed; measures 200 tons, Register Measurement; often easy draft of water, and a remarkably good sailer; - having this last voyage, sailed after and arrived at the same time with the West India Packet.

       The ship is remarably well found, having had new shrouds on the last outfit, and a new sheet cable; armed with ten Carriage Guns, besides small arms; and in every respect well fitted for a Running Ship.

       She may, with her Materials be viewed any time previous to the day of Sale, by application to Samuel HALL, Esq., and Co. in Bristol; or Mr. LAWSON,
on board the said vessel.

       Further particulars, Time of Payment, &c., will be inserted in a subsequent Addition to the Present Advertisement.

Whitehaven, 1 May, 1812.
