Looking for any info on this steamer ship . I know it docked in New Orleans in Dec 1811 and commander Stevens and Paul Babcock was on board. Thanks for any help

Hi, galle45!

Are you sure of the spelling of everything concerning the steamer? I ask because I'm not finding any information about it.

Thanks!

It could be Maratanza, but the dates don't match.I have a receipt for a second check issued to L P Babcock in the amount of $100.00 for Union Bank New York dated Dec 10 1810. Issuing bank was Samuel Smith & Co. New Orleans. The back is endorsed, Paul Babcock acting signing? Officer usa, care Commander Stevens, US Steamer Marataugu or Maratanza or ? Also signed by Sam Smith
