Known as a ship’s letter, this document signed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (when he was still Secretary of State), is a stunning example of an early America maritime document, as well as having very clear presidential signatures. These ship’s letters were issued to vessels and captains for each voyage, showing who owned the vessel and that she was properly registered under the flag. This was to prevent seizure or extra taxation from other nations since it verified she wasn’t manned by a smuggling crew.
