discharging book
Sometimes called discharge book and during the existence of packet boats this book, a long, slim-jim affair, was kept by the clerks and in it were entered the items of freight to be unloaded at each landing place. As the articles came off the boat, the clerk checked his list and thereby kept track of the shipments.
