Notes and Questions
Please sign in to write a note for this page
In the upper right top of the page the number 109 is written in blue ink and
not part of the original log.
Line 5: Consert - probably refers to the word 'consort', i.e., "a ship sailing in
company with another.',
Ref.: Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford University Press. Eleventh Edition,
pg. 305, 'consort 1.'
Line 14:' on bent' refers to un bent meaning to take down
Ref.: Transcriber'sNote.
Lines 15-16: It appears that the word 'Capt' is underlined and so transcribed.
Line 3: As per a previous note ( page 90 line 10 in Notes & Questions) it is apparent
that Lay up when taken in context refers to the setting of a new course after wearing
ship or coming about.
Ref: Transcriber's apology
Capt. Clark made a voyage on the ship 'Triton' around the Cape of Good Hope
from 1806 to October 1807 and believe this is the captain and vessel referred to
in the log. NB: Clarke is spelled Clarke.
Ref: Transcriber's note.
