cruise of the `Gipsy' : the journal of John Wilson, surgeon on a whaling voyage to the Pacific Ocean
1839
Wilson joined the London-based whaleship Gipsy in 1839, within three months of obtaining his LSA (Licence of the Society of Apothocaries) and at a time when there was said to be an oversupply of medical practitioners. Following the voyage, Wilson qualified as MRCS (Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons) and set up in general practice in London. Wilson's journal provides details of the voyage as well as details of everyday life on board and his entries are accompanied by drawings and sketches. His descriptions include those of places visited, the people encountered, the crew and their movements, supplies and medical treatments as well as whaling itself.

A sailor's life : the life and times of John Short of Watchet
1839
-1933 /Tom Brown.
John Short ('Yankee Jack') was a merchant seaman and a recognised 'shantyman' taken on as crew because in addition to his experience as a seaman, he had the ability to lead work songs to keep the crew working at hauling or heaving efficiently. Short contributed fifty-seven shanties when interviewed by the English folk song collector Cecil Sharp in 1914, the majority deep-sea shanties. Short followed his father into the coastal trade at the age of nine in 1848 but soon moved into ocean trading routes. Short retired from the sea in 1901 and died in 1933, his death marked by an obituary in The Times. His story is told through his voyages and extracts from poems and shanties. The shanties are published in full with music in an appendix. Other appendices list and provide further details of his ships and voyages undertaken as well as a family tree.
