Excerpt from Extract Form the Diary of Ebenezer Townsend, Supercargo of the Sealing Ship Neptune on Her Voyage to the South Pacific and Canton, 1888
A cargo of tea, silks, nankeens, and China ware was loaded, and the Neptune came home to New Haven after an absence of about three years.
The pecuniary results of the voyage have never been equalled by a New Haven ship, and it is probable that no American vessel ever made so much in the same period of time, when we take into consideration that the Neptune took no cargo from this port (new Haven).
