Welcome on board the Stamboul (Bark) out of San Francisco, California, on voyage from March 15, 1892 – October 23, 1892 to the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. Mastered by S.C. Waldron. Kept by Benjamin F. Sparks.

Why you will see the name of the Rosario in all of the references:
The voyage is written in a logbook commencing with the Schooner Rosario's voyage. You will see that description on the National Archive image webpage: "Rosario (Schooner), of San Francisco, Calif., mastered by Edwin Coffin, kept by Benjamin F. Sparks on voyage from 24 Mar. 1891-6 Nov 1891"
My sincere thanks to April (arboggs) for using her wonderful Librarian skills to locate the Stamboul's journey.
