The journal contains daily entries in nine columns: Lattd. [latitude]; [day of the month]; H [hour]; K [knots]; F [fathoms]; Courses; Winds; [date and remarks]; Mer. Dist. Long. [meridional distance longitude]. This information is recorded in less detail following the ship's departure from Mocha. When the ship is at anchor or close to shore, entries consist of remarks only, including marginal notes of cargoes taken aboard and landed.
The journal is double-dated where necessary, giving both Old and New Style dates.
The journal records: navigational information; weather; contact with other Company, and Her Majesty's ships; details of the ships with which the Donegal sailed in convoy; sightings of country ships, and other vessels; commodities carried (especially coffee at Mocha); and deaths of crew members.
