About This Book

A day-by-day ship's journal from the early 17th century records sailings between English ports, weather and navigation, and routine matters of provisioning and cargo handling. Entries recount repeated leaks in the smaller consort that forced returns for repairs, transfers of stores, and delays to departure. The record notes friction among passengers and agents, disputes over terms with backers, and practical decisions about governance and discipline aboard. Taken together, the log provides a granular maritime account of the logistical, social, and administrative challenges encountered while preparing for a transatlantic colonial voyage.
