This logbook of the ship Adeline contains entries made between 1833 and 1837. The Adeline sailed from Newburyport, Massachusetts on November 13, 1833, with Captain William Buckley in command, bound for the southern Pacific on a whaling voyage. Entries mention weather conditions, whales and other fish caught, and ships met on the way. It also describes the ship's ports of debarkation and the number of barrels of whale oil on board. The ship stopped at Paita (Peru), the island of Oahu, Laihana (Maui), Tahiti, and other ports
