| 40 | No image URL. | NOTES: Beckets are handles to a sea chest. This item belonged to Captain Ebenezer Allen Dexter of Mattapoisett, Massachussetts who commanded the brig POTOMAC in foreign trade. Capt. Allen Dexter (1792–1848) was a prominent 19th-century ship captain based in Mattapoisett, MA. The brig Potomac was mastered by Capt. Dexter from 1823 to 1826. Due to a lack of detail in newspaper reports it proved impossible to determine what other vessels Capt. Dexter might have sailed on.
