SALEM: Peabody Museum. 1938 \ Copyright, 1938, by the Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts HR Printed by The Southworth-Anthoensen Press, Portland, Maine Introduction IN the early years of the nineteenth century the ships of Salem penetrated nearly every corner of the globe, and their owners— Derbys, Crowninshields and others—ranked foremost among American merchants.

Moreover he describes from the forecastle a type of life which, from the shore a century later, has been over romanticised. , In the following transcription most references to wind and weather, the vessel's courses and handling, and matters of daily routine without interest for the present-day reader have been eliminatedy but such of these as throw light on the living conditions in the brig or aid in identifying her position have been retained. Subject to these omissions and to some modernization of spelling, capitalization, and punc…
