From: Lingard-Monk, James Boughey Monk, 1853-1905: Travel diaries

Reference: MSX-8888

Description: Lingard-Monk's engaging account of his round the world voyage aboard the British steamship `S.S. Buteshire'. Written in a jocular manner the narrative details shipboard activities, the daily life onboard, weather patterns and the progress of the vessel in minute detail. Volume is arranged into seven chapters and also includes reflections on the journey, quotes, proverbs and a daily log of places visited with latitude and longitude figures. Journey leaves Albert Dock, London on 31 January 1897, returning 3rd August 1897. The `Buteshire' was one of the largest cargo ships of its day and Lingard-Monk was one of the few passengers on the voyage. Recounts the adventures of the ship's cat, the Captain, fellow passengers and crew throughout the journal. Comments on the Cape of Good Hope as the first significant milestone of the voyage. Arrived at Port Adelaide, Australia on 24th March. `Buteshire' continued on to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville and back to Sydney. Steamed across to New Zealand entering Foveaux Strait on 23rd May and visited Bluff where the author tastes Bluff oysters, at two pence a dozen. Many pages are devoted to humorous verse and instruction: "Instructions to passengers when conversing with Officers of the U.S.S. Co vessels" and "A valedictory address to the Union Shipping Company of New Zealand by a long suffering passenger". Both items appear to be written after the Captain advises Lingard-Monk that the ship is not to visit Wellington as planned. Further stop in Christchurch before the `Buteshire' begins her homeward leg via Cape Horn, stopping at the Canary Islands to collect mail, then onwards to Gravesend, arriving 3rd August. Lingard-Monk finishes by noting that the vessel broke down 22 times between Lyttelton and London.
