- Title:
- Howland: Journal
- Scope & Content:
-
Journal of the voyage of the East India Company ship Howland from England to Madras (Captain George Cooke), 1707-08. The Howland left the Downs in mid-February 1706/7, and the journal covers the ship's visits to the following destinations (dates are those of arrival): 10 May 1707, Table Bay; 13 July 1707, Madras [Chennai]; 21 September 1707, Rogues River (also written as Roagues River); 1 January 1707/8, Calcutta [Kolkata]; 2 February 1707/8 Rogues River; 26 April 1708, Gombroon [Bandar-e ʻAbbās]; 4 August 1708, Madras; 22 August 1708, Rogues River.
The journal consists of daily entries (although not for every day of the voyage), which for most of the volume are formed of six columns: H [Hour], K [Knot], F [Fathoms], Courses, Wind, and a final column recording latitude, meridian distance, departure times, observations of weather and currents, sightings of land or other vessels, and other general remarks. When the ship is at anchor the entries consist of remarks only.
The entries are dated, although the text is very faded (as are the column headings), to the point of being illegible in some cases. The journal employs Old Style (Julian calendar) and New Style dates (Gregorian calendar).
