Tales from the Captain’s Log
by National Archives
CAD $47.00
A collection of fascinating excerpts from logbooks in the collection of Britain’s National Archives. Entries range from Captain James Cook’s notes about discovering the South Pacific and Australia to records of great naval battles such as Waterloo and Trafalgar. A multi-faceted picture of life at sea in eras gone by emerges from the pens of officers attempting to stop piracy in the Caribbean, surgeons who recorded the health of the men they tended, and naturalists who noted the exotic plants and animals they encountered.
