Voyage Diary From La Guayra Venezuela 1880
A shipboard letter from La Guayra dated January 21 1880 describes arrival on the 19th after a pleasant run from St Thomas. The writer notes Venezuela as a republic with a dictator president, mentions consular contact, local scenery, and a dramatic homesick moment with a minister visiting the crew. They anticipate further travel to Barcelona Armana or the Orinoco region and recount visits to Maconti, fort tours, and prisoners including Gen. Valera. The entry ends with weather, fruit scarcity, and plans to reach Norfolk by March.
