Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. On offer is the handwritten ship s log for the first 17 voyages of the Scottish-built, British-owned SS Kansas, owned by the passenger steamship line, George Warren & Company (now the Warren Line) , in Liverpool. The log book contains the Captain s handwritten log for the first 17 voyages of the SS Kansas, occurring between May, 1882 and April, 1884. The SS Kansas sailed between Liverpool and Boston, sometimes stopping in New Brunswick. It was built by Charles Connell & Company, Glasgow, Scotland. Its engine was built by John and James Thomson, also of Glasgow. Historical records show that the SS Kansas was launched on January 19, 1882 and set sail on its first voyage between Liverpool and Boston on May 21, 1882. The log shows that the maiden voyage sailed with 100 passengers from Liverpool to Boston, from Boston to St. John, New Brunswick, and then back to Liverpool, arriving on July 4 1882. The SS Kansas inaugural captain was Albert Henry (A. H. ) Burwell (1833-1882). Burwell was a Boston native who died of Rheumatic Fever while at sea on September 9, 1882, during the third voyage of the SS Kansas. His death is recorded in a handwritten "In Memoriam" [sic] box at the bottom of the Remarks page. Burwell s first mate, Henry Borland (Harry) Tasker (1846-1889). Tasker was a native of Liverpool, married to Mary Ellen (Simcock) Tasker (1847-1917) , whose obituary was found tipped-in to the ship s log. [SEE BIO NOTES FOR MORE ON CAPTAINS BURWELL AND TASKER]. For each of the 17 voyages, the captain records their name, the locations between which they are sailing, daily coordinates, course, winds, and remarks regarding the weather and other details, and details on each voyage s coal, consumption, revolutions, and distance. This is a fascinating look into the daily record keeping of 19th century mariners and provides insight into the capabilities of the SS Kansas, and the daily struggles encountered by 19th century commercial sailors. It may also be of interest to genealogists who are piecing together timelines for those who sailed aboard the SS Kansas. The book contains approximately 70 pages, with writing front and back on about 85% of the pages. It appears a number of pages were ripped out of the back of the book, though it does not appear voyages were tracked beyond the 17th. The book itself measures approximately 7.5x4.5 inches. The seams are extremely loose and many pages are detached. Strangely, the first page of the records for the SS Kansas maiden voyage is out of order and is connected to the first page of the documentation for the 3rd voyage. The pages are all present, and only that one appears to be out of order. The hard covers, spine and binding are in poor condition, though the book is intact. The handwriting is very legible and the pages are all intact, aside from those missing at the back. Overall Fair to Poor.
