Alfred C. Adams, 2nd officer, kept this logbook on the merchant ship Providence, owned by Edward Carrington & Co. and commanded by Captain C. B. Peirce from December 10, 1838 through April 26, 1840. During this time, the ship sailed from Providence, Rhode Island to Batavia and Manila, thence to Macao where it discharged rum and "boxes said to contain treasure;" to Hong Kong, leaving sugar and pepper and loading cotton, lead, and ivory; and to Whampoa (near Canton) for more cotton.
