- Boscawen: Journal, Chief Mate Arthur Morris
- Scope & Content:
-
Journal of the voyage of the East India Company ship Boscawen from England to Surat, May 1761-March 1762, from Surat to Judda [Jeddah] and back, April-September 1762, from Surat to Bombay [Mumbai], October 1762, from Bombay to Calcutta [Kolkata], November 1762-June 1763, from Calcutta to Mauritius, February 1763 [New Style date 1764]-June 1764, and from Mauritius to England, December 1764-March 1765 (Captain Benjamin Braund).
The outward journey from England included a visit to Rio de Janeiro, August-September 1761. The return journey from Surat to Judda included visits to Mocha, May and August 1762. From February 1762 [New Style date 1763] Boscawen was moored at either Kedgeree [Khijri] or Ingeli in the Hooghly River delta. An attempt to sail upstream to Calcutta in April 1763 was driven back by bad weather that damaged the ship (f 85).
The journal consists of daily entries of information on navigation, winds, weather, contact with other ships, deaths of crewmembers, and general observations. A list of crew and a list of soldiers are provided on folios 2-4. Folio 85 records the death of Captain Braund, onshore at Ingeli, in April 1763.
