The journal of Charles Fergie's 1872 round-the-world voyage from Liverpool, England to Melbourne, Australia, edited by Mark Peters. A remarkable personal account from the golden age of sail. Charles was aged 67 when he left Liverpool in February 1872 to visit his son Henry, whom he had not seen for over eighteen years. The trip was to last nine months, of which eight were spent at sea. Charles was a man of feeling, and thus his journal is a record of not only his travels, but also his hopes and meditations on life.
