- Title:
- Journal kept on the Trades Increase and Peppercorn ships by Thomas Love with notes on Downton's homeward voyage
- Scope & Content:
-
Part of a journal kept by Thomas Love on the sixth voyage of the East India Company. The journal covers the voyages of the East India Company ships Trades Increase and Peppercorn from the Downs to Mocha and back (Captains Sir Henry Middleton and Nicholas Downton respectively, 4 April 1610-19 November 1611).
The journal covers the period 4 April 1610 to 4 December 1611, although there are no entries for the period between 13 July and the 9 October 1611. There are also some entries covering 1612-13.
The journal consists of daily entries and monthly quadrants recording navigational information under the following column headings: latitude, longitude, distance run, the course, and variations and remarks.
The journal features different handwriting and a possible signature by George Downton (f 15). It mentions that on 18 June 1610 Thomas Love transferred from the Peppercorn to the Trades Increase (f 4). Also mentioned is the death of the chief merchant Mr Femall on 20 May 1611 (f 10), and encounters with Portuguese merchants (f 13). An entry on 26 February 1612 mentions the death of Thomas Love (author unknown).
In addition, the journal includes a section entitled 'Definitions of mapps' [maps] (ff 17-18). The last few folios (ff 28-30) of the journal consist of drawings, annotations and calculations (ff 25-29). Finally, there are drawings depicting the coast of Moyella Island (West Africa) and Comory (f 24).
The ship sailed to Cape de Verde Island, Saldhana Bay, the Bay of St Augustine, the Island of St Laurence, Socotra, Mocha, Pullopenjan, and St Helena.
