An interesting virtual exhibition of the log-book of Andrew Service on his voyages on board HMS Medusa between 23 March 1802 and 10 June 1810.

It was unusual for a lower deck rating, like Andrew Service, to have kept a logbook of his time on board because many of the men of his rating would have been illiterate. |
