Zustand: Good +. On offer is a curious and original manuscript relic of ocean going commerce, being the log book of an ill fated vessel called the Schooner "Kipling" whose commander, Captain Angus Richards details a journey from Halifax to Pernambuco Brazil in 1901-1902. The 175 page or so handwritten log is in many ways typical of sea faring logs kept since the age of sail. There are included within the pages a detailed weather conditions, ship position, cargo information, stray observations and condition reports. The log begins "From La Have towards Halifax" on the 27th of February, 1901. Next the ship is in the Port of Halifax on April 18. The entries while the ship are at port are the most expositional, focusing mostly on observations and not the precise calculations of the ship's navigation. From Halifax, the schooner travels toward Pernambuco, then Barbados on May 4 arriving there on May 16, returning to Halifax on June 7, continuing from there to LeHave and Liverpool where they took on a load of lumber bound for the island of Antigua. They arrive in Antigua July 26, proceeding to Barbados reaching there on August 8. From there they go on to Puerto Rico and ports of Humacao and Fajardo, picking up a load of molasses. From Fajardo they set sail for St. John, New Brunswick on August 27. Other ports of call include Boston with final entries dated November 22nd dropping anchor in Getson's Cove in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia and getting ready to go out again to sea, however, where the ship is going is unwritten. The Schooner "Kipling" would eventually sink off the coast of Maine, in January 1906, and all seven members of the ship miraculously survived. The story is quite interesting for anyone interested. The log book is 13 1/4" x 8 1/4 inches. It's a bit worn its edges but generally in pretty good condition. The front cover reads, "Ship - Kipling; Captain - Angus Richards; From - Halifax; To - Pernambuco." The hardcover is covered in marbled paper, with a leather spine and sold by "Creighton & Marshall, 64 Upper Water Street (near the Ordinance) Halifax, NS." The handwriting is very legible throughout in black ink that has not faded or smudged. TEXT: "Wednesday 28th Feb. 1901. At 20 minutes to eleven left Getson's Cove with the wind from WNW bowing a strong breeze and at 4 p.m. , got alongside Hart's wharf - hauled alongside and moored vessel furled sails and cleaned up decks."; "Wednesday 13th March.
