Summary

F. Ross's journal of a voyage of the H.M.S. Tagus from England to the South Pacific, from November 26, 1813 through August 1814. Includes accounts of the capture of French ship of war Le Ceres and U.S.S. Essex and visits to Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Valparaíso, Callao, Guayaquil, Islands of Galapagos and Marquesas, and other locations. Includes eighteen watercolor sketches depicting the surrender of Le Ceres and views of Rio de Janeiro, La Plata, Montevideo, and other locations, as well as several unfinished pencil sketches, including "The Capture of the U.S.S. Essex."

Volume appears to have been created in 1815, after the author's return to England.
