A wonderful sea voyage, thank you very much for this book. :-) In the Wikipedia there is a small article about Augustus Hoppin.

Smart guy. Wiles away boredom on a Sea Voyage by doing a series of observational sketches and then compiles a book out of them. Probably more than paid for the passage.
And they are very good and so is the verbal commentary. Would now be considered an historical artefact. Thanks muchly, Lyons.
