A
handwritten manuscript log of Adam Hamilton Aboard the Ship Urania, Between Jun 1839 – July 1839.
A lovely example of a seaman’s log, maintained by Adam Hamilton, serving
aboard the 500 tonne ship Urania,
between June 1838 and July 1838. We learn from the log that the ship was led
by Captain Noakes, and that it departed Liverpool
dock on 13 June 1839. Adam Hamilton
was born in Moffat Dumfries on 9 July 1822, the son of John Hamilton and
Janet (Kinghorn), so was just sixteen at the start
of the voyage. The ship sailed around
the Cape of Good hope, to India and Persia.
Also included with the log are two letters, one of which was written
on 18 July 1837, in George town, Demerara, which I
believe is in Guyana. This 3 page letter was written to a Mr
William Wilson, back in Moffat. From
other research that I have conducted I have found that Adam Hamilton, married Agnes Wilson, neice
of William Wilson, at Sanquhar, Dumfires
in 1850. Agnes herself was the
daughter of James Wilson (who is mentioned in the letter) and Isabell (Halliday). The other letter included in this lot is
dated March 23 1839, from Adam to his father in Moffat, and is postmarked
from Liverpool. I
will give a few brief quotes from the log. “Having
engaged with Messrs Forrester & co to go abroad to any place in the world
that they or their agents might choose to decide, in the place I paid a visit
to Moffat, my mother village. Saw and parted with all my friends in tolerable
spirits…. having returned to Liverpool, the port which we’re destined to
sail. I busied myself in making
preparations for the voyage – no easy task when we know not in what climate
we are doomed to exist “Our
day of sailing came – 13th June 1839 at 12 O clock, leaving behind many a
waiting friend principally belonging to the squad of boilermakers “Had
a great many cape pigeons accompanying us today. They seem very fond of pieces of pork, or
any kind of slush thrown overboard. “The
captain threw some cards overboard belonging to one of the boilermakers, and
so kicked up a murderous row amongst them.
He had no right and promises to pay for them, but he added on no
account would he allow cards to be played aboard. He’s a silly man I think. “This
is a temperance ship, but the captain considering that of late the crew has had
a very wet cursing job…he is considering the propriety of giving the men a
glass of wine. What a beeficient and indulgent captain!!! “Caught
a shark last night, length 7 ½ ft. “The
Island of Calpenny was visible from the mast head
this afternoon. It seems a very low
flat island covered with cocoa nut trees.
I believe it is not inhabited but it is a fishing bay used by some of
the natives of Malibar. “We
now approach the town of Goa, now the only Portugese
settlement on the continent of India.
How are the mighty fallen and the lofty
brought down. “We
now have Colonel Hughes on board of the 13th. He has 5 native servants with
him. One he’s teaching can speak two
of their languages and is now learning English. “The
Persian Gulf gets the name of being infected with hordes of piracy.” |
