Otter (Brig) logbook, 1809-1811.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53208036

The logbook of the brig Otter details a shipping voyage from the South Atlantic to Kauai, Hawaii, the Queen Charlotte Islands, and cruising along the northwest coast of North America, June 1809-April 1811. The logbook is a continuation of the voyage aboard the Otter begun in Log 1809O. The brig's home port was Boston; the owners were Jonathan and Thomas C. Amory, Oliver Keating, and Dixey Wilds; the master was Samuel Hill; the logbook keeper was Robert Kemp. The logbook includes notes on at least four deaths on board; diseases among the crew, especially scurvy; the fur trade; navigation; indigenous peoples encountered; black sailors; episodes of punishment of the merchant mariners on board; and whales sighted during the voyage. During its voyage the Otter spoke the ships Aduelpea, Derby, Hamilton, Juno (out of Russia), Katherine, and Ocain (out of Boston), the whaling ship Walker, and the brig Lydia.
