A printing of a journal perhaps kept by the unnamed cooper of the whaling ship Sharon, of Fairhaven, recalling the brutal beatings members of the crew received at the hands of the captain, with one member (an indigenous person from the South Pacific) beaten to death. This led to a mutiny, in which the captain himself was killed. Like new! Limited to 250 copies
