The Rising Sun Long-Range Voyage Excerpt 1833
A pasted narrative details a 1833 voyage from Lintin to Cochin China and Bangkok. It describes encounters with mandarins in Bangkok, a royal audience with the Siamese King, the floating capital and temples, and impressions of Batavia and Singapore. The piece contrasts travel wonders with critiques of local customs and governance, ending with commentary on naval history and a bleak economic mood in a later transit update.
