Admittance (Ship) logbook, 1822-1823.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52934018

The logbook of the ship Admittance details a shipping voyage that began in Brazil, to Hamburg and Cuxhaven, Germany, to Havana, Oct. 1822-July 1823. The logbook begins at sea out of Brazil and ends at sea on the way to Havana, possibly because of Capt. Richardson's death. The master was Henry Carwick who died during the voyage; he was subsequently replaced by William Richardson who was appointed by the American consul in Germany. The logbook keeper was Richardson; the ship's home port was Boston. The logbook includes notes on diseases; deaths (including Carwick's); the dismissal of one of the merchant mariners on board for stealing; worship programs on board; a holiday celebration on July 4th; and a description of an execution (by beheading) and executioner. During its voyage, the Admittance spoke the ships Adeline (out of Salem, Mass.), Daphne, Eagle (out of New York), Galitea (out of Newport), Martha (out of New York), Ophelia, Perseverance (out of Salem), and Rising Sun; and the brigs Indus, Stephen, and Washington.
