For centuries, ships' commanders kept journals that recorded their
missions. These included voyages of discovery to unknown lands,
engagements in war and sea and general trade. Many of their logs,
diaries and letters were lodged at The National Archives and give a
vivid picture of the situations that they encountered. Entries
range from Captain James Cook's notes of his discovery of the South
Pacific and Australia, to logs of the great naval battles, such as
Trafalgar and the Battle of the Nile. From the ships that attempted
to stop piracy in the Caribbean, to the surgeons who recorded the
health of the men they tended and naturalists who noted the exotic
plants and animals they encountered, comes a fascinating picture of
life at sea, richly illustrated with maps, drawings and facsimile
documents found alongside the logs in the archives.
