- Description
Shipping receipt from Delahunt & Co. The reference to lighterage meant that the shippers were not allowed to pull goods on a barge tied behind their ship. Demurrage refers to the shippers being prompt in loading and unloading the freight, so the customer wouldn't be charged for more shipping services than necessary.
