LadyBarbossa Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I know that someone had posted an image or two of an actual old log. But can't seem to find it now. Wondering if it was lost. Curious though if someone has some info or images of what a period ship's log would have looked like, the pages and what was written on those pages, how the layout of those pages looked, etc. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Fox Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) This is the log-book of HMS Phoenix, Capt. Pearse, for some of the days she was among the pirates at New Providence.

LadyBarbossa Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ooo... thank ye, Foxe! This one I couldn't see when I googled. :) Amazing difference in these two pages than a couple other books. Nice detailed info there. Shall read what is written more when I have the opportunity. Have any of ye portraying Captain's kept a Log book? If so, what does it look like and what have ye written in it? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Fox Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ooo... thank ye, Foxe! This one I couldn't see when I googled. :) That's probably because the picture's from my collection, I just uploaded it to answer your post.
