Journal of a Voyage from Okkak, on the Coast of Labrador, to Ungava Bay, Westward of Cape Chudleigh / Undertaken to Explore the Coast, and Visit the Esquimaux in That Unknown Region

The journal records a coastal voyage from a Labrador outpost toward Ungava Bay undertaken by two missionaries to explore the coast and visit Esquimaux communities. It mixes navigational narrative—ice conditions, bays, capes, landings, and hazards—with close ethnographic observation of local settlements, describing subsistence practices such as spearing salmon-trout through the ice, dwelling forms, musical life, and patterns of worship. Encounters shift between warm hospitality and the hardships of drift-ice, scarce fuel, and perilous passages. Accounts also note missionary addresses and local reactions alongside practical remarks on plants, fishing methods, and material culture observed during repeated shore visits.
