contemporary vellum-backed blue boards (very slightly defective), original sailcloth -- 14 x 9¾in. (35.5 x 25cm.)

A curious journal of the H.C.S. Charles Grant's description of her only port between Bombay and Dover Roads, at St Helena. There is also a list of the principle officers. The Charles Grant was a 1264 ton vessel built in the Bombay Dockyard by Jamsetjee Bomanjee Wadia for William Moffatt. Thereafter she served almost exclusively between Bombay and China. In February 1834 she was sold to Hyde Lennox and disappears from Lloyds Register by 1840.
