Be prepared to spend weeks there, Rod. Captains' logs, masters' logs, muster books..... There are sometimes as many as four differnet types of record surviving for a ship. You can find out what the weather was, where the ship was, who got punished, how much sugar was taken on board, how much meat they got from slaughtering cattle onboard ship, when the men were taken on, their ages, where they were born, often physical descriptions, how much their tobacco cost, what happened when they left. Endless hours of fun! |
