Large original maritime logbook, measuring approx. 9.5\" x 15\", approx 143 pages, covering voyages from New York to the Caribbean (Mayagüez, Puerto Rico and return trips to New Haven and other East Coast ports) during 1869–1870.

The log runs to approximately 143 filled pages, now disbound (no covers, gatherings separated). Entries are in ink throughout, with daily notations of wind, weather, barometer, bearings, and routine navigation. The remarks sections contain unusually candid notes on shipboard life, discipline, and illness.

Vivid excerpts from the log:

• Knife incident: one entry records a sailor “pulled a knife on another” during a quarrel.

• Venereal disease: another notes a crewman “laid up with the venereal disease”.

• Shipboard routine: frequent entries such as “Pumps attended to” illustrate the constant maintenance.

• Weather hardship: “All these 24 hours squally with rain” shows the challenges of the passage.

Highlights:

• Approx. 143 manuscript pages, filled in a contemporary hand.

• Full voyages spanning late 1869 into mid-1870.

• Mentions of discipline problems, violence, and illness at sea.

• Ports of call: New York, New Haven, Mayagüez (Puerto Rico), and others.

Condition:

• Disbound: covers missing, gatherings loose.

• Pages toned, edge-worn, with stains from sea use.

• Writing remains mostly legible throughout.

Collecting Importance:

A rare survival of an Age-of-Sail working log, this volume provides both navigational data and unvarnished glimpses of sailors’ daily lives. Its mix of weather, Caribbean trade notes, and references to misconduct and medical issues makes it significantly more desirable than routine logs.
