This is an excellent journal kept by a woman passenger aboard the Sultana, Capt. Watson, a cargo ship carrying several passengers from Boston to Smyrna, with a stop at Malta. The journal does not indicate the year of the voyage, but accompanying correspondence from Smyrna, 12 May 1837 suggests the voyage was made the previous year. The journal i...
