Cornelia (Bark) of New Bedford, Mass., voyage December 12, 1843 - April 27, 1846, ODHS_987

ReadAboutContentsHelp
Mastered by Daniel Flanders. Logbook of a whaling voyage to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, Mozambique Channel, and Caribbean Sea. Includes descriptions of whales seen or taken and a death at sea. Also contains whale stamps, drawings, accounts, and poetry. The log had been used as a scrapbook at one time, so the writing is difficult to read, the ink has faded, and many pages are missing. Other places represented include Annobon, Anjouan, and Barbados.
