Résumé du livre
The collection consists of a ship's logbook, three ledgers, and two certificates. The handwritten logbook of the steamer ship J.B. Libby was kept by George Frye while he served as captain. The daily entries contain detailed timetables for mail deliveries and sailing schedules to various Puget Sound ports. Frye later used part of the marine logbook for his personal and business accounting. The ledgers for the Frye Opera House and other buildings include financial records, expenses, and detailed balance sheets showing profit and loss for individual performances. An additional ledger, containing some blank pages and incomplete entries, lists expenses and performances staged at the Turner Theater after the Great Fire of Seattle. The two certificates license George Frye as Master of Steam Vessels for 1873 and 1874.
