- Abstract
-
Manuscript on paper of a fair copy of the ship’s journal kept by the first mate of the pink Batchelor from 2 November 1669, off the Cape Verde Islands, to 4 April 1670, off the coast of Patagonia. The daily entries contain details of the Batchelor’s voyage, including wind measurements, soundings, and sightings of land, and are particularly full for February and March of 1670, the period when the Batchelor lost contact during violent weather with its sister vessel the Sweepstakes, commanded by Sir John Narborough, and began its solo journey back to England.
