Journal, 1805-1806.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26639447

Journal kept by James Savage from 2 Nov. 1805 - 3 June 1806 on a voyage to the West Indies with his cousin William Tudor, Jr. who were travelling on behalf of Tudor's brother Frederic to attempt to procure exclusive grants for importing ice into the islands. The entries describe the ocean voyage; encounters with privateers in the area as a result of the Napoleonic Wars; stays at Martinique, Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) where he contracted yellow fever; St. Thomas, and Jamaica; and the return voyage to Boston. The journal was probably written at one time at the end of the voyage.
