L. A. Brown kept this notebook and logbook between 1868 and 1869. He utilized the first portion of the volume to record transportation and delivery of coal to various steamers in the Hoboken, New Jersey, area in early 1868. Brown noted names of steamers, amounts of coal delivered or received, and the names of tugboats towing the vessels. The second portion of the volume is a logbook for the voyage of the schooner Thomas Fitch from New London to Eleuthera, Bahamas, between April 28, 1869, and June 3, 1869. Brown recorded wind, weather, latitude and longitude, sails, and picking up pineapples for cargo. Several pages of mathematical notations at the back of the volume are accompanied by an "Inventory of the Barge Constitution."
