Diary kept probably by Gus Harrison on his sea voyage from New York to San Francisco, via Cape Horn, aboard the Brig Belfast (April 6-Sept. 21, 1848). Most of the entries relate to ordinary shipboard activities, weather, food, and recreations. The author set out before the discovery of gold in California and landed after its discovery.
