Panicked crew debates voyage and provisions for Pacific coast
A jumbled maritime diary describes officers asking leaders to approve a risky voyage from Rio de Janeiro toward the South Seas. They discuss supplies, potential enemies, bargaining with the Commodore, and plans to reach St Julian’s and Baldavia while seeking water, salt, and Bills of Credit. The document lists weights, goods, and wedding fineries as part of shipboard preparations and cargo.
