'Originall Journall of the Shipp Europe, Capt Humphrey Bryant'
- Scope & Content:
-
Journal of the East India Company ship Europe, kept by Second Mate Humphrey Bryant. The journal covers the Europe's voyage from England to Gombaron [Bandar Abbas] and Bombay [Mumbai] (all dates are those of arrival): 17 January 1705, Downs; 7 May 1705, Table Bay, Cape; 25 June 1705, Johana [Anjouan, Comoros]; 30 July 1705, Gombaron; 13 October 1705, Bombay; 4 November 1705, Surratt [Surat]; 21 December 1705, Bombay; 3 January 1706, Goe [Goa]; 6 January 1706, Carwar [Karwar]; 17 January 1706, Mangalor [Mangaluru]; 19 February 1706, Mulcah [Mulki]; 26 February 1706, Basalor; 4 March 1706, Carwar; 7 March 1706, Goe; 19 March 1706, Bombay; 15 April 1706, Surratt; 4 May 1706, Bombay; 11 November 1706, Gomroon [Bandar-e ʻAbbās]; 30 January 1707, Bombay; 21 February 1707, Surratt; 26 February 1707, Bombay; 11 May 1707, Mouritias [Mauritius]; 13 October 1707, Table Bay, Cape; 24 December 1707, St Helena; 12 September 1708, Stokes Bay, Portsmouth; 1 October 1708, Deptford.
The journal consists of daily entries in six columns: Hours, Knots, Fathoms, Course, Winds, and a general remarks column. In this final column are the day and date, notes on weather, wind, land bearings, ship sightings, ship maintenance and rigging, and other miscellaneous matters. Navigational data is also given. When the ship is at anchor the entries consist of remarks only. Notes deemed significant enough are repeated in the margins.
From the 28 December 1706 (folio 93) the handwriting style changes noticeably. This is aboout the time the Commander of the ship, Captain John Pocock, falls ill and dies, which would have brought about changes in crew responsibilities that may have resulted in a new journal keeper. The fact that Bryant refers to himself as captain in the title suggests he was promoted to that position at this time.
Between the 4 April and 3 August 1708 there are no entries.
