The Maritime Heritage Project ~~ International Harbors Travel

This site started with my daughter's family tree homework project in 1998. The Project has taken us around the world in search of family. Our generational tree is now 5'x4' and goes back to the 1700s in Maine, and prior to that to Ireland, Wales and Germany. A family tree is a marvelous way to keep your family connected; just click on the image below to start yours.

THEATRICAL ARRIVALS.--

By the steamship Pacific, which arrived last evening, we are pleased to notice the arrival of Mrs. Alexina Fisher Baker and her husband, Mr. Lewis Baker.

Mrs. Baker is well known to all our theatre goers from the Atlantic States, under her maiden name of Alexina Fisher, and those who visited the Chesnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia a few years since, and later in the Broadway Theatre, New York, will well recollect her and be ready to give her a hearty welcome upon her arrival on the shores of the Pacific. Mrs. Baker is a pleasing and powerful actress, but she is too well know by the theatre-going community to require our enconiums.

Mr. Lewis Baker we have never had the pleasure of seeing professionally, but the press of New York and Philadelphia speak of him in the highest terms as an actor of no ordinary merit.

Upon their departure from Philadelphia a complimentary benefit was given to Mrs. Baker at the Chesnut Street Theatre, which is represented as having been a deeply interesting affair. We congratulate our community upon the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Baker, whom we shall probably have the pleasure of seeing on the boards ere long.
