Journal, 1829-1852 1829-1839.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52230088

Thomas Jefferson Boyce kept this journal from 1829-1852, with bulk dates of 1829-1839, during his time of service aboard the Peacock, St. Louis, and North Carolina. The journal has daily entries noting the weather, who came aboard the ship, which ships were spotted, destinations, and tasks performed. Since Boyce was a sail maker he spent most of his time repairing sails and awnings. A copy of The Complaint and Petition of Thomas Jefferson Boyce for Twenty Years a Sail Maker in the United States Navy is included in the journal. This complaint documents Boyce's troubles with the commander of the Navy Yard in New York City and pleads with the government to review his case and reinstate him.
