About this item
- Content
Memorandum written by Lewis Pelly in about 1854 recollecting the events of his journey from Kurrachee [Karachi] to Bombay in 1942. The voyage described was undertaken with Captain Jones of the 12th Regiment and their intention was to meet, in Bombay, the first post monsoon steam vessel from Sind [Sindh]. The memorandum recounts the violent storms and gales they sailed through on the journey.
The journal had been dated as 1842, as the events described within it took place in that year, however the entry itself was written later in about 1854.
