Description:
July 1912 - July 1913 ship's log/diary kept by a member of the crew of a merchant steamer, who has written the first part of his observations in German (to January 1913) and thereafter in English. Starting with a visit to Copenhagen, the ship visits Kristiania (Oslo), Dundee and Cowes, before crossing the Atlantic. The writer then recounts his experiences in New York before departing for Great Lakes ports including Toledo, Milwaukee, Chicago, Conneaut, Duluth, Detroit and others. A fascinating insight into life on-board a working steamship. 72 mss pages; in vellum binding, together with a number of loosely inserted notes, papers and scraps. 33 x 15 cm
