Epithet: of Add MS 32693

British Library Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue : Person : Description : ark:/81055/vdc_100000000215.0x000122

This volume was created by John Francis, a well-educated British citizen, in 1791. In it, he documents two voyages: one from New York to the West Indies on the Brig Mercury under Captain Thomas Fry (May 1-June 13, 1791), and the other from St. Eustatia back to North America on the Ship Ruby, under Captain John Ritchie (June 14-July 4, 1791). Both were British ships; the Mercury, which was part of the British merchant navy, was built in 1780, and the Ruby was built in 1775. The journal mentions a wife and children and a brother Tom, but does not record any specific personal information.

From the guide to the John Francis diary: Log Brig Mercury, Francis, John, diary: Log Brig Mercury, 1791, (William L. Clements Library, University of Michigan)
