Logbook is the fascinating chronicle, in diary form, of a voyage of one of the last Yankee whaleships in the twilight days of sail. More than that, it is an adventure story, a travelogue, a naturalist's notebook and a charming love story all rolled into one - written, it must be added, by a man whose profession is not writing, although he ha written scientific works. Robert Cushman Murphy is a naturalist - one of the world's great authorities on birds. During one of these expeditions Murphy begins to detail the life, sounds, sights, adversities, struggles, adventure, and survival of the whalers on the whaleship Daisy. Daisy herself, being an out of date vessel, takes on a life of her own. Combined with touching notes penned to his recent bride this book offers something for everyone. VERY GOOD+.. Color Illustrations. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. xxviii, 373 pp. Very Good+ with no dust jacket .
