About this item
- Content
Journal of the East India Company ship, Red Dragon (Captain William Keeling), kept by John Hearne and William Finche. The journal covers the ship's voyage from England to Sierra Leona [Sierra Leone], Madagascar, and Zokatora [Socotra]. The ship's passage from Zokatora to Bantam [Banten] is not covered by the journal. Dates of landing are as follows: 15 April 1607, Plymouth; 6 August 1607, Sierra Leona; 18 December 1607, Saldania [Saldanha]; 19 February 1608, St Augustine Bay, Madagascar; 21 April 1608, Zokatora.
The journal consists of almost daily entries with information such as course, winds, weather, navigational data, land sightings, and other general remarks. When the ship is at anchor the entries tend to be longer, with details of geography, people encountered, trade, and other miscellaneous information. The margin contains names of the deceased and, written in a different hand and probably made a later date, notes on the main text. Throughout the volume there are small pen sketches of islands and coastlines observed on the voyage (folios 6, 8, 16, 19, 23, 24, 25).
