A Sailor Boy's Log-Book From Portsmouth To The Peiho is a memoir written by Walter White in 1862. The book chronicles the author's experiences as a young sailor aboard the HMS Encounter, a British Navy ship that sailed from Portsmouth, England to the Peiho River in China. The book is written in the form of a logbook, with each entry detailing the author's daily activities and observations during the voyage. White provides vivid descriptions of the people, places, and events he encounters along the way, including his interactions with fellow sailors, encounters with pirates, and the ship's arrival in China.Throughout the book, White offers a unique perspective on life aboard a 19th-century naval vessel, including the daily routines, the challenges of sea travel, and the camaraderie among the crew. He also provides insights into the political and cultural climate of the time, including the Opium Wars and the tensions between Britain and China.Overall, A Sailor Boy's Log-Book From Portsmouth To The Peiho is a fascinating and engaging account of a young sailor's adventures during a pivotal moment in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
