Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Later Printing. Publisher's glossy wraps. Logbook is the fascinating chronicle, in diary form, of a voyage of one of the last Yankee whaleships in the twilight days of sail. More than that, it is an adventure story, a travelogue, a naturalist's notebook and a charming love story all rolled into one - written, it must be added, by a man whose profession is not writing, although he ha written scientific works. Robert Cushman Murphy is a naturalist - one of the world's great authorities on birds. During one of these expeditions Murphy begins to detail the life, sounds, sights, adversities, struggles, adventure, and survival of the whalers on the whaleship Daisy. Daisy herself, being an out of date vessel, takes on a life of her own. Combined with touching notes penned to his recent bride this book offers something for everyone. . VERY GOOD+. Color Illustrations. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. xxviii, 373 pp.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Green cloth on boards, with giilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship motif to front board. Spine is fading. Moderate bumping to extremities. Previous owner's ink stamp 'coat of arms' on front end paper. Clean and tidy throughout. First UK edition of the 1947 original edition by Robert Cushman Murphy of the American Museum of Natural History.As a young and newly married graduate, the author embarked upon a 12 month voyage on the Whaling Brig Daisy, and this book takes the form of a 'log' he kept for the benefit of his new wife, detailing his adventures on the whaler. At the same time he used the voyage to compile a different form of 'log' detailing the wildlife, and particularly oceanic birds that he observed, which he later turned into books and articles for the scientific community. This book shows the 'personal' aspects of his voyage and illustrates life on a whaler at the early stages of the 20th Century.

The trip, on a whaling and sealing brig out of New Bedford, was funded by the Museum of Natural History, New York, and Murphy kept a separated scientific log of specimens he collected for research. He would go on to become Lamont Curator of Birds at the museum and author the classic work-' Birds of South America'.
