A seafaring diary from a seventeenth‑century navigator, offering a vivid view of the Mediterranean through the eyes of Kenelm Digby.

This edition presents a firsthand account of sailing, port towns, and naval action that shaped a remarkable voyage. Digby’s journal traces a bold path across coastlines, harbors, and political frontiers, blending practical seamanship with the texture of life at sea. Readings include the rhythm of the passage, the challenges of heat and wind, and the moments when discipline and daring decide a fight on the water and at anchor.

firsthand navigation notes and coastal observations from the Levant to the western Mediterranean
dramatic naval encounters, ship handling, and tactical decisions in combat
encounters with multiple powers, exchanges with English captains and Venetian authorities, and on‑shore diplomacy
a window into seventeenth‑century maritime life, personalities, and the world Digby moved through

Ideal for readers of maritime history, early modern travel, and classic journals of seafaring life.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unearths the remarkable journal of Sir Kenelm Digby from the year 1628. A scientist, philosopher, and courtier, Digby was a fascinating figure of his time. The journal chronicles his daring voyage to the Mediterranean where his fleet engaged in daring privateering escapades, part of a secret plan to capture French ships in the Venetian harbor of Scanderoon. Blending adventure with historical intrigue, the author delves into Digby's motivations, the challenges he faced as a Protestant in a predominantly Catholic world, and his connections to the powerful figures of his day like King James I and the Duke of Buckingham. A notable contribution to our understanding of early modern history and exploration, this book sheds light on the life and extraordinary adventures of one of England's most intriguing historical characters.
