Ship: SAMUEL
Captain: HUGH PERCY
Place: ROTTERDAM
Date: AUG. 17, 1733

Most ships that came into American ports during this time period were not required to keep passenger lists.  Only in Philadelphia was each adult male immigrant was required to sign a "Foreign Oath of Allegiance" upon exiting the ship.  This ship is very unusual, because the captain did maintain an accurate list of all passengers on board, including women and children.
