Scope and Contents
The logbooks, kept by the ships’ captains, detail the daily weather conditions and events on board, along with navigation information, such as speed and location. Sightings of passing ships, deaths of crew members, and damage caused by storms were also diligently documented in the books. The journal of the Isabella documents the trip from Canton, China to Philadelphia in 1829, and the logbook for the Consort recounts the brig’s journey from Philadelphia, Pa. to San Francisco, Ca. in 1850. A page from an account book of the brig Washington for its sixth voyage to Charleston, S.C. is also a part of the collection. Also included is a note on how to calculate declination.
