abstract

{"value"=>"J[ames?] Harris, a midshipman in the British Royal Navy, kept this logbook (6 vols.) on board the H.M.S. Téméraire from October 1, 1807 through September 11, 1810. The ship was commanded by Captain Charles Hamilton and sailed from Bembridge, Isle of Wight, to Ushant, France, thence to Lisbon, Madeira, Palma, Barbados, and Cape Hatteras. It then cruised to the Isle of Flores in Dutch East India and back to England via Portugal and France. From England the Téméraire sailed to the coasts of Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Russia, then to Cadiz, Spain, where it remained from March 5-July 31, 1810. Entries describe the conflict between the Spanish and the French and the rescue of Spaniards by the Téméraire and other ships. In August 1810 the ship sailed from Cadiz to the Island of Cabrera, Spain, where the log ends"}
