About this book
Calculation Log of Bark Rome, 1874-1876
Author: Otis, Francis E.
Year: 1874
Captain Francis E. Otis was born in Growstown (ME), son of James and Betsey (Snow) Otis. He married Angeline Morse in Brunswick (ME) in 1869. He commanded a number of vessels, including the 814-ton Rome (Bark), built at Bath (ME) in 1865 by W. V. Moses & Son. Rome was later sold Norwegian and disappeared from the Record after 1885. Kept in a blank book with lined, numbered pages, this volume contains the calculations necessary to determine the daily position of Rome (Bark). There are notes of departure and arrival, daily headings, and occasional notes of ship's business. The log records voyages from New Orleans (LA) to Kronshtadt (RUS), to Philadelphia (PA), to Charleston (SC), to Liverpool (ENG), to Portland (ME), to Liverpool again, from New Orleans to Le Havre (FRA), to Key West (FL).
