Item description from seller

From 3rd. November 1888 (on spare preliminary pages) to 31st December1889, completed with daily entries on a voyage from New Zealand to the Portland Light in a 3 masted ship INVERCARGILL (illustrated in a rough pencil sketch by the diarist) between November 3rd 1887 and April 8th. 1889. The diary is then blank until 11th August 1889 when the ship leaves London Docks & later sets sail off Ramsgate to sail down channel. The diary is then completed in daily neat pencil entries until Wednesday 20th November when a tug took the ship in tow into Auckland harbour. Stayed in harbour, going ashore, loading coals, until 10th December 1889 when the anchor was raised, and ship sailed "homeward bound" but still in New Zealand water & ports, loading wool etc. She finally sailed from New Zealand waters on Tuesday 31st December 1889. The whole is written almost all in neat readable pencil script in a Pettitts 1889 diary (that includes pages and pages of printed standard useful information). The diary covers the voyages of a junior officer, apprentice or literate deck-hand, written in the standard school taught handwriting of the late 19th and early 20th century. It seems to record the loss of the second mate overboard as well as fishing for albatross, passing and racing various other ships, (including a four master) crossing the line, a knife fight among the crew at sea, the ship being cast onto its beam ends and recovering, finding two stowaways on board. A detailed and methodical record of the voyages clearly written in a small hand and including the address of a sweetheart in New Zealand to be followed up. The covers of the diary are decayed and broken and incomplete. Taking into account that it survived voyages to New Zealand and back aboard the square-rigged, three masted barque Invercargill, it is in remarkably good condition. The text is very clear but quite small. All as found, a remarkable survivor.…
