He left New York City in 1867 for the Great Lakes, where he invested in the shipping industry and eventually owned and operated the Wilson Marine Transit Company, based in Cleveland, Ohio.

The collection consists of correspondence, publications, and legal documents relating to Wilson's career in the shipping industry.
