Log of the ship Horatio, 1880-1881

ReadAboutContentsHelp
On March 24, 1880, the ship Horatio set sail under the famed Captain Charles Grant from New Bedford to New Zealand and the South Pacific Ocean. Captain Grant began his whaling career at 11 years old and would become master of the Walter Scott by 30. After 55 years of whaling, often accompanied by his wife Nancy Wyer, Captain Grant ended his career with this voyage. Learn more about his final expedition by transcribing his logbook which includes information about their locations, the weather, and other ships they meet along the way, as well as sketches of whales, islands, and ships.
