Log book of whaling voyage to South Seas

Item Details

Description

Heading: (Whaling)
Author:
Title: Manuscript logbook of the Ship Napoleon, out of New Bedford, to the Atlantic and South Pacific
Place Published: At sea
Publisher:
Date Published: Dec. 23, 1858-July 6, 1862
Description:

Approx. 257 pages of written text. 33.5x30 cm (13¼x8"), period marbled boards, rebacked with modern calf; custom folding half morocco & cloth box.

Remarkable original logbook for a mid-nineteenth century whaling voyage. As stated on the first page, it is "A log book of a whaling voyage on board Ship Napoleon of New-Bedford, Massachusetts, Thomas Dallman Master commencing Dec. 23d 1858. April 4th, 59 Capt. Dallman left on account of sickness when George N. Macy the chief officer assumed command." Thus began the rather tumultuous voyage, with rebellious sailors and threatening seas, and danger from both whales and weather. Within just three months of the Napoleon setting off from New Bedford for New Zealand, her captain, Thomas Dallman, had been taken ill off Cape Horn, visited a doctor on Talcahuano Island, and left the ship after being diagnosed with a 'heart ailment', ceding control to the chief officer, George N. Macy. Macy was evidently an unpopular choice, and under his command several disgruntled crew members were clapped in irons, while on the 7 August 1859 two sailors deserted. The troubles aboard the Napoleon, as it plied the waters of the South Pacific, did not end there; after whaling off Sunday Island for over a fortnight, the opportunity of the ship's anchoring on 20 June 1860 was seized by crewman Robert Brown as a chance to desert. Foiled in this attempt by natives of the Brataolong tribe, a knife-fight ensued that left the clan chief injured. Luckily for Brown, the log records his release the next day thanks to the intervention of local missionary. Starbuck 560.

Condition

Some normal wear and aging, very good or better.
