'City of Baltimore' Carrying Sheep to Bahama, Nov. 22, 1922

Colman to Ship Sheep on Board the Baltimore

Capt. Arthur Coleman’s next cargo will be of mutton and will hail from Brunswick county, with the Bahama Islands as the port of discharge, it was learned yesterday, when it became known that the late skipper of the Message of Peace will load his newly purchased schooner, City of Baltimore with sheep within the next two weeks.

Sheep are said to be in great demand in Bahama, and bring good prices, while in Brunswick they are comparatively cheap.

Capt. Colman will probably sail as soon as necessary arrangement can be made after he has received the official bill of sale for the City of Baltimore, which he recently purchased at auction.

From page 3 of the Wilmington Morning Star, Nov. 22, 1922. Captain’s last name was spelled Colman in headline and Coleman and Colman in the story.
