This past week I sent an inquiry on the Mediterranean Passport to the National Archives, Pittsfield. It was forwarded to Mr. Horace Waters, an Archivist Technician at the Northeast Regional office. Mr. Waters magnified the document in PhotoShop and stated that the vessel appears to be the schooner "Genl (General) Doublett", or perhaps "Genl Donblatt". The master's name looks like "...bridge". This gives strength to my thought that the master and commander may be Stephen Trowbridge.
