Ship's Log, 1812-1816

Questions? Click here to reach someone from our organization.

This ship’s log, 1812-1816, from the James Smith Colburn papers, documents voyages between major United States ports, such as Boston and Charleston, and European ports. It also records a voyage from “Rochelles” to Norfolk by the brig Apollo, possibly a former British privateer captured during the War of 1812.

The binding is missing and the pages have surface dirt, embedded grime, staining, and losses throughout. Pages are brittle and are severely water damaged, mold damaged, and pest damaged. Some pages have shattered, and numerous fragments break off when pages are turned. Safe handling is impossible. Treatment will include surface cleaning pages to reduce surface dirt, mending pages as necessary, rebinding, and digitization.
