Diary of Flagg�s voyage on the barque �Edward Everett,� from Boston to San Francisco via Cape Horn, beginning January 11, 1849. The first three pages of the diary appear to be a record of 150 of the ship's passengers, noting names, occupation, residence, and age. The majority of Flagg�s diary entries consist of latitude/longitude notations followed by weather details; some entries include information concerning their diet, and the desire for better meals and fresh fruit. Although most of the entries are brief, they do give the reader a keen sense of what it was like to travel by ship though South America.
