'A Journal of an Intended Voyage in the Ship Townshend to Mocha In The Red Sea Kept by Philip Worth, Commander, 1721'
- Scope & Content:
-
Journal of the East India Company ship, Townshend, kept by Captain Philip Worth. The journal covers the ship's voyage to Mocha and Callicut [Kozhikode] (all dates are those of arrival): 4 March 1722, Cape [of Good Hope]; 16 May 1722, Mocha; 5 September 1722, Goa; 12 September 1722, Callicut; 3 February 1723, Cape; 7 March 1723, St Helena; 8 June 1723, Downs.
Near the front of the journal (folio 1) is the inscription: 'This is my Originall journal [original journal], Philip Worth, Received 31st July 1723'.
The journal begins with a list of crew members, giving names and occupations (folio 2). The first part of the journal covers the ship's journey from Deptford to the Downs, via Gravesend and Westgate Bay. The journal here consists of entries every few days containing dates, and remarks on weather, land bearings, ship sightings, and maintenance work (folio 4).
The main body of the journal consists of daily entries in six columns: H [Hour], K [Knots], F [Fathoms], Course, Winds, and a remarks column. When the ship is at anchor the entries are remarks only. The remarks column contains the date, and information on winds and weather, land bearings, repairs and maintenance, sea conditions, ship sightings, and navigational data. Occasionally other miscellaneous notes are made, such as the names of the deceased, flora and fauna seen from the ship, and any unusual occurrences.
The record is part of a volume containing two separate log books: Townshend: Journal, Philip Worth, Captain, 1721-23, (IOR/L/MAR/B/660C); Townshend: Journal, Philip Worth, Captain, 1725-27 (IOR/L/MAR/B/660D).
