| Description | A handbook telling emigrants how they can conduct their long voyage in an orderly and Christian manner to avoid the misery that otherwise comes with confusion and overcrowding. Includes a checklist of materials for the voyage, technical information about ships, and suggestions for honourable activities in which one can engage while on board including mat-making, scrubbing, woodworking, journal writing, exercising, and model-making. Gives a good impression of what journeys might have been like, and of the perils that were associated with them. |
