The log largely contains navigational data, weather reports, and ships seen, including mentions of visits between ships, the captains of the vessels, and a record of the other ships' count of whales caught or whale oil pounds. The middle and back of the journal contains lists of provisions and stores for one of the journeys, and Charles Howell's personal account information including wages and expenditures.
