This nineteenth-century travelogue documents John Turnbull's
five-year journey around the world. Turnbull (fl. 1799 1813), a
sailor in the merchant service, set out from Portsmouth in 1800
with the original purpose of pursuing trade in north-west Asia. In
his ship, the Margaret, he sailed via Madeira and around the Cape
of Good Hope. Setting aside his trading plans, he went on to
explore Pacific territories, including Australia, Norfolk Island
and the Society Islands. This book records his observations
throughout, and also includes an appendix featuring Turnbull's
account of his time in New Zealand. His notes from the voyage were
first published in 1805, and an abridged version appeared a year
later. This expanded edition was published in 1813. Popular at the
time due to growing public interest in the Antipodes, A Voyage
Round the World is a fascinating memoir of ship life and English
exploration of the Pacific in the early nineteenth century.
