This document gives health clearance to the whale ship “Benjamin Franklin”. According to Starbuck, she was the last whaler out of Fall River Mass. She departed in November 1860 and returned October 1862 with 300 sperm, so this stop would probably have been her last on her way home. Subsequently she was sold to New Bedford. In Portuguese. Fine condition, with consular seal.
