'Journal of Ship Princess Louisa Bound to Mocha Anno Domini 1733'
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume consists of a journal recording the voyage of the East India Company ship Princess Louisa, from England to Mocha and Bombay, and back to England. The entries are dated 29 August 1733 to 26 April 1735. The Captain of the ship was Richard Pinnell.
The entries start from 29 August 1733 when the ship was at Deptford, after which it anchored at Gravesend on 24 September 1733, and in the Downs on 31 October 1733. The journal also records the ship anchoring at the following places: Table Bay (16 February to 7 March 1733/34); Mocha (9 May to 23 July 1734); Bombay (9 August to 12 September 1734); Cochin (22 to 25 September 1734); Table Bay and Cape Bona Esprance [Cape of Good Hope] (11 to 26 December 1734); St Helena (12 to 29 January 1734/35); and the Downs (14 April 1735). (Both Old Style and New Style dates are given.)
Entries for when the ship was at sail (from 5 November 1733, when the ship was in the Downs Channel, onwards) consist of tables recording the following: hours (H), knots (K), fathoms (F), the course of the ship, wind direction, weather, and observations and transactions. The observations and transactions mostly consist of the following: wind and other weather conditions; sightings of, and encounters with, other ships; sightings of land; the course of the ship; and birds and fish observed and caught.
Entries for when the ship was in port mainly record: wind and other weather conditions; actions performed by the crew; the arrival of other ships; and cargo being unloaded from, and loaded onto, the ship (including chests of treasure, and iron and steel being unloaded from the ship, and bales of coffee being received on the ship, when the ship was at Mocha).
