BILL OF SALE OF THE BRIG "CALYPSO", Custom House, Hobart Town, dated 1 January 1855, entered in Transfer of Property Account on 26 January 1855, a large 3-page Indenture document between William Henry James of Hobart Town in Van Diemen's Land and William Fisher of Recherche Bay in Van Diemen's Land for the sale of 64 parts or shares of the ship, 'Calypso' for one thousand three hundred pounds, signed and sealed by W.H.James for delivery of sale item and receipt of money. Some toning on back on folds, otherwise very fine.
Captain William Fisher was born in Hobart Town in 1813, the son of an emancipated convict. After he purchased the 'Calypso' he pursued whaling and other interests, apparently not always within the law as he got into trouble with the Customs Dept. Fisher's Point at the southern end of Recherche Bay where the road ends is named in his honour.
