This book presents a first-hand account of the life and times of Henry Teonge, a clergyman who served as a chaplain aboard various Royal Navy ships from 1675 to 1679. Teonge's detailed diary offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life, customs, and challenges faced by sailors during this period. It provides valuable insights into the complexities of Anglo-Dutch relations and the realities of naval warfare against the Barbary pirates of the Mediterranean. Teonge emerges as a complex character, torn between his religious duties and the harsh realities of life at sea. His diary is a testament to the courage and resilience of those who served in the Royal Navy during the tumultuous 17th century.
