Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a first-hand account of the life and times of Henry Teonge, a clergyman who served as a chaplain aboard various Royal Navy ships from 1675 to 1679. Teonge's detailed diary offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life, customs, and challenges faced by sailors during this period. It provides valuable insights into the complexities of Anglo-Dutch relations and the realities of naval warfare against the Barbary pirates of the Mediterranean. Teonge emerges as a complex character, torn between his religious duties and the harsh realities of life at sea. His diary is a testament to the courage and resilience of those who served in the Royal Navy during the tumultuous 17th century. It sheds light on the broader historical and social context of the era, and serves as a valuable resource for understanding the development of British sea power.
