File containing fragments of two journals for two East India Company ships. The journals are as follows: journal of the Abingdon (folios 82-89), Captain John Goodfellow and Robert Pye, Chief Mate; journal of the Josiah (folios 90-137), Captain Randall Pye and Robert Pye, Chief Mate. The Abingdon journal covers the ship's voyage between Bombay [Mumbai] and Suratt [Surat], 20 November 1704-10 March 1705. The Josiah journal covers the ship's voyage between Bombay and Cape Comarene [Kanyakumari], 11 March 1705-22 April 1706.
The Abingdon journal contains daily entries of information on navigation, winds, weather, contact with other East India Company ships as well as Dutch ships, deaths of crewmembers and general observations.
The Josiah journal contains daily entries in two different formats. Firstly, daily entries written in a journal style (folios 97-111, 113-124). Secondly daily entries in six columns: H [Hour], Courses, K [Knots], F [Fathoms], Winds &c., and Remarks (folios 90-96, 112 and 125-137). Both parts have different handwriting. When the ship is at anchor, the entries consist of remarks only. The journal records navigational information, weather, contact with other East India Company ships as well as Dutch ships, commodities carried, and other remarks. The journal contains coast drawings (folios 96, 117). Entries are double-dated using both the Old Style (Julian) and New Style (Gregorian) calendars. Each ship is mentioned as a companion in the journal of the other ship.
