[Click on image to enlarge.]

Introduction

The individual images of New Bedford signals have been taken from the 1857 Taber chart. The names of vessels that appear below the images include rig and tons burden which have been added by the transcriber.

In mid-19th century Taber & Co. published several charts of this type. Additionally several books showing agents, signals and their vessels were published.
