Hi: I spotted this while searching the NUCMC (National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections) at: http://lcweb.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/nucmc.html The original can be found at the Nantucket Historical Society. Note: A bark is a type of a ship. So the name of the ship may have been "Albion" - not an author's name.
