Beschreibung
Trent Fall Bank, for Rich’d Boiler, Tho’s Nossle & Co., 5 Halfpence in cash or steam, 1 August 1817, serial number 8540, signatures of Tim’y Smoke and Benj’n Margrave, with a lovely vignette of a small paddle steamer, entitled ‘Albion’ at top left, fine and rare Outing 4088a £200-£260 --- Benjamin Margrave (b.1742) lived in Gainsborough and appears to have been involved in several businesses there. For example, there are records of him selling a public house named the Boars Head in 1806. He died in 1818 (a year after this note was produced), after an illness of ten years which left him bedbound. Trent Falls is the name given to the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Trent, close to Hull in Yorkshire. The Albion was one of at least three steam packets (others being named Cobourg and British Queen), in which Benjamin Margrave held shares. These ships traded between Hull and Gainsborough, which helps explain the title and theme of this note. The purpose of this note isn't quite clear, but it seems likely that it is simply to advertise the services of his Steam Packet.
