Sailing the British Empire: The Voyages of The Clarence, 1858-73
Aggregazione dei criteri
Ms. Coll 832 at the University of Pennsylvania comprises a ship's log kept by Joseph Watson, master of the Clarence, in 1864-65, and a few other items from Watson's long career at sea (including a painting of another command, the Prince of Wales).
