One bound volume containing logs for the HMS Rinaldo, HMS Cadmus, HMS Emerald, and HMS Edgar, commanded by W.N.W. Hewett. The HMS Rinaldo (entries dated August 8, 1862-February 24, 1863) sailed from Halifax to Bermuda, with stops in New Orleans, Galveston and Havana. Includes three maps: the course for Halifax to Havana and two of the Bermuda Islands. The final page, apparently including the dates February 25-28, 1863, is missing. The HMS Cadmus (entries dated March 4-22, 1863) sailed from Bermuda to England. The HMS Emerald (entries dated March 16-October 31, 1863) remained near Spithead. Includes a small illustration of St. Kilda Island and a detailed digram of the ship. The HMS Edgar (entries dated November 1, 1863-February 13, 1864) sailed rom Portsmouth Harbour.
