Falmouth, July 17. Arrived the American ship WOODROP SIMS, Captain Abraham Stone, in 32 days from Norfolk, in Virginia, with 404 hogsheads of tobacco. She has since proceeded to Dunkirk.
1803
De WOODROP SIMS lijkt een aantal jaren te zijn ingezet voor het vervoer van tabak van Virginia naar Europa, en wijn vanuit Frankrijk terug naar de Verenigde Staten.
Van 1801 tot 1805 voerden de V.S. oorlog met de Barbarijnse Kapers. Deze Berbers hadden Marokko, Algerije en Tunesië als thuisbasis van waaruit zij koopvaardijschepen aanvielen en hoge sommen losgeld vroegen. In 1803 werd de WOODROP SIMS door de Amerikaanse marine als transportschip gecharterd voor een reis naar de Middellandse Zee. Uit allerlei journaals en correspondentie is geput om te trachten over deze periode een beeld te krijgen wat het schip heeft gedaan. Daarbij is er voor gekozen de in chronologische volgorde geplaatste teksten niet te vertalen. Helaas is niet duidelijk geworden waarom de BETSY WALK in de Middellandse Zee haar oude naam WOODRUP SIMS terugkreeg.

Should W. Kirkpatrick Esq draw on you for the amount of freight payable to the owner of the BETSY WALK captain Mills Reddick – for the transportation of a cargo of naval stores from Norfolk to Algiers, you willl be pleased to honour this draft and charge the amount thereof in your account with this dept.
To Daniel Bedinger, Navy Agent, Norfolk, from Secretary of the Navy,Navy Department, 3 June 1803.
You will receive by this mail a letter from George Harrison Esq enclosing bill of lading of sundry articles which, should they arrive in time, are to be shipped in the ship BETSY WALK with the timber and plank which you have procured for Algiers. If after these articles are put on board there should be room enough to send some beef and pork you may send out in her a sufficient quantity to fill her up provide it does not exceed 100 barrels of each. In case you should put beef and pork on board you will direct the commander of the BETSY WALK to land it at Gibraltar, delivering it to John Gavino Esq at that place and taking his receipt therefor, and you will write to Mr. Gavino enclosing bill of lading and invoice, the freight you may pay at Norfolk drawing on me. Keep the freight of the beef and pork separate from the freight of the other articles in our accounts, as well as in your drafts on me should it be necessary for you to draw in both cases.
I enclose a passport from the Spanish Government for the BETSY WALK which you will be pleased to give to capt. Henry Brown (Supercargo ??).
To Mr. Beverly, former owner of the American ship BETSY WALK, New York, N.Y.
From Secretary of the Navy, Navy Dept, June 9, 1803.
The ship BETSY WALK which it appears was sold by Mr. Wheeler of Norfolk to Mr. George McIntosh by your order, has been chartered by the Agents of this dept. at Norfolk, for the purpose of transporting naval stores to Algiers. The Agent informs me, that she has been detained by the French Consul at Norfolk, in consequence of an alleged insufficiency in the authority given by you to Mr. Wheeler to sell her.
This is a subject of considerable importance to the American Government, which I hope will excuse the liberty I take of requesting that you will be pleased to transmit immediately to Mr. Wheeler, all the requisite papers and vouchers to substantiate the sale. I am the more anxious on this subject since we cannot in season procure another vessel of a description suitable for the purpose for which the BETSY WALK has been chartered.
On 12 Sept. (1803) the U.S. ship BETSEY WALK, Capt. Miles Reddick, from Norfolk out seventy days arrived with a load of timber and JM’s letter of 31 May 1803. The cargo consisted of “8 Oak water wayes / 10 Pieces Stern post & Clamps / 10 oak breast hooks / <?> Cut water / 100 floor timbers, Strait timber / 20 Hawze timbers / 85 Pine beams / 166 4 inch Oak Plank / 7—Six inch Oak Plank / 131—two inch Pine Plank / 120 Casks of Spikes / 40 barrels of lamb [lamp?] black / 4 logs & 10 boards of Mahogany / one trunk of dry goods / One box Containing 3 Telescopes / One tierce of Sugar / One hhd.

The freight charge amounted to £2,044. “The Cargo as pr. invoice Cost in the U States … 10898 dollars—The articles taken to aid The annuities Cost at Norfolk 1126$—which Sums—together makes—The amt. of The Cargo to be 12024$—The articles to grease The wayes prevent Squalls on acct of no Powder Cordage or Cables Sent is 1712$ which deducted—leaves a Cargo The Cost in The U States to Ansr. on The Annuities to The Amt of—10312$.”

To lieutenant Isaac Hull, commanding U.S. brig ARGUS from Secretary of the Navy,
Navy Department, February 9, 1804.
Since my letter to you on the subject of convoying the BETSY WALK (now called the WOODRUP SIM) I have received information that she has an Algerian protection against all the Barbary powers. As she has such a protection it may be unnecessary to afford her convoy – the subject however is still committed to the discretion of yourself and Mr. Gavino

Wednesday 21st March 1804. Moored in Gibraltar Bay a.m., at 9 loosed sails to dry at 10 the wind increasing furled sails and veered the long service of both cables in the hawse.

United States brig ARGUS, Gibraltar Bay, 22nd March 1804.
Sir, I have been honoured with your letters of 24th January and 9th February by the WOODRUP SIMMS, which vessel arrived here last evening. i have since consulted Mr. Gavino on the subject of giving her convoy, and have determined, as everything is perfectly tranquil on this station, and the ARGUS ready for sea, to sail immediately for Syracusa, with the ship under convoy, and shall make every exertion, to return to my station as soon as possible.

From John Gavino, U.S. Consul, Gibraltar.
Gibraltar, 22nd March 1804. Dear Sir, Although I had nothing new, I wrote you on the 3rd instant under cover to Governor Ball with sundry enclosed re an English convou. And the 17th by the ship WOODROP SIMS captain Miles Reddick who arrived yesterday from Norfolk, with a cargo of provisions for the use of your squadron, and have directed her to proceed to Syracuse to Mr. George Dyson, to whom I now enclose Bill of Lading and Invoice. She goes convoyed by the ARGUS captain Hull. As nothing new occurs here yet I think it should be proper some state vessel was on this station as two Imperial brigs of war are in the seas to protect their trade against the Emperor of Morocco. He will avail himself of this pretext to fit out his cruisers, and after play a trick upon such nation as may be unguarded.

About one mile from Valette I embarked in the cutter for Malta, where I found the store ship WOODROP SIMS safe arrived. I also found here the brig ST. F. CRUSIFISO prize to the NAUTILUS and the POLACRE prize to the SYREN; both reported to me not to be sea worthy to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Desired the Agent to haul the brig up, until farther orders and directed the prize master to take passage with the dispatches in the store ship.

Mr Higgins reported the cargo of provisions and stores delivered by vessel BETSEY WALK, capt. Reddick, was very much damaged, deficiënt, and in very bad order.
To captain Edward Preble, U.S. Navy,
From Master Commandant Charles Stewart, U.S. Navy.
Report of the proceedings, occurrences etc. of the U.S. brig SIREN, 13 June 1804.
Sir. Pursuant to your order of the 22nd April we sailed at 8 a.m. the ships WOODROP SIMMS and MADONA CATAPOLIANE in company – the wind setting in preventing the prize from getting out and I accordingly proceeded with the WOODROP SIMMS for Malta, which place we arrived at the 23rd.
To Secretary of the Navy, from Capt. Edward Preble, U.S. Navy.
Messina, July 5th 1804. The provisions that came out in the WOODROP SIMS (opm: in Malta) was delivered in excessive bad order. Many of the casks of rice, butter etc were without heads and some not half full. The beef and pork badly hooped and without pickle, the canvass was almost every bolt damaged and the twine wet and rottedn, so much so indeed, as to renden both useless for sails. The damage has been occasioned by careless and bad stowage in a leaky ship.
To Daniel Bedinger, Navy agent and Superintendent of Navy Yard, Norfolk, Va,
From Secretary of Navy.
Navy Dept. August 31, 1804. I this morning received your letter of the 26th inst. enclosing Mr. Higgins receipt for the cargo of the WOODROP SIMS (ex BETSY WALK), a letter from captain Reddick to Mr. Geo McIntosh, also a letter from Mr. McIntosh to you – all which are herewith returned to you.
Mr. Higgins certificate establishes the fact that a considerable part of the cargo of the WOODROP SIMS was damaged when delivered at Malta, also that there was a deficiency in quantity in some of the articles. As you have not transmitted to me a satisfactory account of the manner in which this damage was sustained and deficiency occasioned, my conduct must be governed by the charter party and Mr. Higgins certificate the only official papers in my possessions – I cannot therefore authorize any further payments to the owners of the WOODROP SIMS for the freight of her cargo.
I observe that Mr. McIntosh states to you his conviction of the entire correctness of the circumstances stated in captain Reddicks note to him and grounds his conviction principally upon the circumstance of the articles sent out by him on his own account (consisting of tierces of coffee, of loaf and clayed sugars, pepper, tobacco and rum) being delivered in good order. I mention this circumstance not with a view to examine capt. Reddicks evidence or Mr. McIntoshs conviction, but to enquire how it came to pass that Mr. McIntosh was permitted to send out his own vessel chartered exclusively for the public purpose, and adventure of his own – my letters to you of the 22nd December 1803 and 10th and 24th January 1804 are considered perfectly explicit.
By the letter of the 22nd December you were requested to procure a vessel on public account and the articles to be sent in her to the Mediterranean were designated. By the subsequent letters you were expressly directed to fill the ship with public stores. The extreme impropriety of suffering any private individual in a vessel chartered exclusively for public purposes must be apparent to you.

Davis, sailed Norfolk 21.03.1805; at Bordeaux 10.05.1805, at Charleston 28.06.1805, (other source: carrying 40 hogsheads of vintage 1802 Claret champagne in cases of 12 bottles each, ‘old’ Lafitte in cases of 12 pint and half bottles each, as well as in cases of 34 pint and half bottles each, and 292 hogsheads of ‘cargo wine’).
