Laura Jernegan: Girl on a Whaleship

The journal kept by a young girl during her nearly three years at sea aboard her father's whaling ship. But that's not all. Due to the efforts of another, later child of the family who went on to be a historian, there is tons of accounts, photos, and other information on this site. I've just spent the last two hours reading it, utterly enthralled.
