[HAWAII]. Underwriters' Sale of Damaged Wheat Ex Ship 'Othello!' At Auction. Honolulu, 9 October 1867.
12 1/8 x 10 1/4 in. letterpress broadside (chipping to edges and corners, with some extended rips and tears, some spotting and ink staining, and few spots of paper loss to interior). Signed in type by auctioneer E.P. Adams.
This early Kingdom of Hawaii broadside announces an auction of damaged wheat from the ship Othello taking place on 11 October 1867. A New York Times article dated 2 November 1867 reports that the ship Othello sailed from port on 17 July with a full cargo of wheat bound for Liverpool, but put into Honolulu on 27 September with leakage and was forced to discharge her cargo.
