Ships’ logs and letters

Two pages from the ship’s log of William Wardlaw, master of HM Apollo. Dated July 1798, while sailing the Caisson Routes, presumably to the shipyards. A number of ship’s logs have survived as the personal property of the master.

In 1802, P Sampson and Robert Wardlaw were Commanders of the Company ships, Dover Castle and Asia. This extract confirms that the ships’ stores are forthcoming.
