JACOBS (Thomas Jefferson).
Scenes, Incidents, and Adventures in the Pacific Ocean,
“No other quarter of the globe would a trading and colonizing expedition, fitted out under proper auspices, and with care and skill, be more sure of a speedy and lucrative return than in this the Pacific.” Jacob’s account documents the fifth and sixth voyages of Benjamin Morrell aboard the Margaret Oakley. The voyage included a sojourn at Port Jackson, which is recounted over 12 pages. Hill, 876; Ferguson, 3844; Howes, J38; Sabin, 35506.
