Title
Weekly return of men employed at the New York naval yard; recommendations for preserving unused planks
Description
Weekly return for the men employed at the naval yard and the wages paid to them; Talbot suggests that due to the lack of timber holding back construction on the frigate, all the existing planks that are to be used on the ship should be placed in water to strengthen them or at least prevent rot.
