Synopsis

Dwight C. Brown Jr., archivist emeritus of the Westerly Historical Society and author of several books and numerous articles on Westerly history, compiled "Leaves of My Journal" from a series of articles published in the Narragansett Weekly in 1861. The articles, written by the anonymous 'A. Whaler,' recount a two-year whaling voyage during the 1840s. With reference to his journal from the time, the author provides a first-hand account of a greenhorn's experiences on a whale ship sailing from New Bedford round Cape Horn to the Hawaiian Islands, Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk, New Zealand, and homeward bound.
