Journal of the East India Company ship Stringer, kept by Captain Isaac Pyke. The journal covers the ship's voyage from England to Batavia [Jakarta], Moccoa [Macao], Bombay [Mumbai], and Mochoa [Mocha]. The ship called at the following places (dates given are those of arrival): 6 January 1710, Downes [Downs]; 8 January 1710, Stokes Bay; 8 February 1710, Plymouth; 11 March 1710, Plymouth (returned); 1 September 1710, Batavia; 11 July 1711, Moccoa; 1 September 1711, Wampoo [Pazhou]; 20 December 1711, Moccoa; 14 January 1712, Mallacca [Malacca]; 3 March 1712, Anjango [Anchuthengu]; 15 April 1712, Mochoa; 21 September 1712, Bombay; 17 February 1713, Cape; 18 August 1713, Downs.
The journal consists of daily entries of two tables of data and some more general remarks. The tables contain navigational data and information on speed (in knots), depth (in fathoms), courses, winds, and weather. The remarks consist of notes on weather, wind, land bearings, ship sightings, courses, ship maintenance, flora and fauna, and other miscellaneous matters. When the ship is at anchor the entries consist of remarks only or, at times, nothing at all.
Pyke divided his journal into two parts, which have subsequently been kept together. The first part (IOR/L/MAR/B/688B) starts 6 January 1710 and ends 18 April 1712 (folios 2-141); the second part (IOR/L/MAR/B/688C) starts 22 August 1712 and ends 18 August 1713 (folios 145-282). Pyke has inscribed and signed the journal in several places (folios 1, 141, and 281). Throughout the journal there are short sections of blank entries.
