Catesby Ap Roger Jones journal, 1843-1845.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/27188734

Although commencing on 18 December 1843, Jones's narrative begins retrospectively with his introduction to the Navy in June 1836. Jones made frequent use of ship's logs and recorded information regarding destinations, dates, distances, time travelled, days in port, weather, including a particularly fine description of a gale in which he believed his ship was sinking, and the names of his fellow officers. Jones's oral examination for commissioned grade and his activities at sea and during lengthy furloughs with his family in Virginia are also described in the journal.
