Journal kept on board the ship Globe of New Bedford, on her passage from the Sandwich Islands to the United States, 1850

A journal of the Globe's passage home from Lahaina to New York and New Bedford, by a member of the crew whose name isn't given; the museum's catalogue notes "cruelty onboard, and punishments" and the crew's complaint to the consul at Lahaina. Read from the scans 13 Oct 2026 (the entries below were checked against the images).

• 18 Jan 1850, Lahaina (scan 5): "At the order 'loose the topsails,' the crew went aft and requested to see the Consul in regard to men we having but 8 men before the mast." John Tripp answered, "I wish to see the Consul first Sir ... and then I will." "He was tied up to the rigging together with the Cooper, Antonio, and R. Holbrooks for giving the same answer." The captain went ashore and brought off the consul, who had the men cast loose, saying Capt. Daggett "could not ship any men at Lahaina for the very obvious reason that there was no men there"; they got under weigh.
• 6 Feb (scan 16): "the ship is so deep and her bottom so bad that we get along very slow ... Mr Johnson and Holbrooks were standing by the pumps talking when the old man came along and they separated and he says to Johnson, don't let me catch at that again at the same time shaking his fist in his face." (Mr Johnson was the cooper.)
• 7 Apr (scan 36): "All hands got the California fever we hear of nothing but topsail schooners and jackass brigs with loads of lumber to match. We killed two pigs yesterday so we had a sea pie to day which went very well after having on salt junk so long."
• 1-3 May, off Staten Land and the Falklands, latitude 54° S, the Horn behind them (scan 43): "O when will this voyage have an end." 6 May (scan 45): "We are short of wood short of meat." 8 May: "starvation again stares us in the face." 9 May (scan 46): "If any man is unwell Capt Daggett says he is soldiering untill he dies and then poor fellow nobody thought he was so bad which has been the case more than once this voyage." 10 May: "Capt D. and his officers are like so many bulls cursing and damning the men like dogs."

Journal kept on board Ship Globe, on her passage from the Sandwich Islands, to the United States.

Jan. 18, 1850. Ship lying at Lahaina anchor-age; about 2 o'clock the captain come on board and gave the order to heave short. Manned the windlass and hove short. At the order "loose the topsails,, the crew went aft and requested to see the Consul in regard to men we having but 8 men before the mast he immediately ordered us forward and repeated the order to loose the top-sail We still persisted in wishing to see the Consul stating that the if Consul so said we would get under weigh as quick as possible. [the words "the if" are run together, "if" apparently squeezed in] He at first refused and stepping up to John Tripp ordered him to loose the fore top-sail. "I wish to see the Consul first Sir,, was the answer and then I will,,. He was tied up to[?] the rigging together with the Cooper, Antonio, and R. Holbrooks for giving the same answer.
