Journal of Voyages / Containing an Account of the Author's being Twice Captured by the English and Once by Gibbs the Pirate...

A seasoned mariner recounts voyages across the Caribbean and nearby coasts, describing captures by English warships and by pirates, narrow escapes during chases, and a shipwreck that resulted in extended residence among local indigenous communities. The narrative mixes episodic sea adventures—prize-taking, ship sinkings, coastal trading runs, and outbreaks of yellow fever—with firsthand observations of ports, harbors, markets, and daily life. Detailed sketches record local laws, customs, produce, and interactions with Musquitto and other shore communities, alongside encounters with privateers and naval actions. The work combines personal memoir, practical maritime detail, and travel reportage, ending with homeward voyages and financial loss.
