One of the earliest manuscripts in the Society's collections is the
journal
of a whaling voyage from London to Spitzbergen in 1613, attributed to
Robert Fotherby. The journal describes geography, wildlife, weather, and
whaling methods, and is illustrated with watercolors such as this view of
a sea-morse (walrus).
