First mate’s logbook

In the morning we sent the boat with Cargo goods of the Unity goods to the shore, also to fetch water. At the beginning of the forenoon we got a heavy trade wind from ENE with a stiff breeze, thunder, lightning and a bit of rain. We assembled a water barrel and a cloth barrel. Later throughout the day the sky was cloudy. In the evening and at night it remained this way. We bought a male slave. It remained this way until the morning.

 

Of what consisted the cargo of the Unity?
