A substantial manuscript journal documenting Pacific commercial voyaging from 1815 to 1819, kept by George Melcher (1797-1877) of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, who began as purser on the Boston brig Avon and later served on the Ida and True American. The journal provides logbook entries at sea and fuller observational notes in port, tracing Melcher's movements from Australia and Hawaii to the north-west coast of America, Chile, Guangzhou, and Europe. Its core interest lies in the extensive record of three Hawaiian calls during a volatile phase in the islands' opening to foreign trade. Melcher's entries for the Avon's first visit (August-September 1816) reflect a busy harbour and the ship's sudden diversion to Sitka, a consequence of Captain Whittemore's unrecorded but consequential sale of the Avon to the Russian-American Company in the midst of the Schaffer Affair. The repudiation of the deal in Sitka pushed the ship into opportunistic coastal trading and smuggling, corroborated by Melcher's notes on handling seal skins and the evident readiness for whaling. On the second Hawaiian visit (May-June 1817) Melcher offers vivid observations of chiefs, taboos, rivalries, Russian-Hawaiian tensions, and the sandalwood trade at its height. He records Kaumuali i's presence on board, extensive barter, ceremonial salutes, and the social strains - drunken chiefs, rum trading, and strict taboos temporarily halting commerce. The journal also alludes to the growing pressures on sandalwood resources that would culminate in the trade's collapse by the 1830s. Beyond Hawaii, Melcher documents the Avon's final run to Coquimbo, detailed cargo inventories, his transfer to the Ida, and a final passage to Guangzhou and Europe. Scattered throughout are insights into shipboard discipline, crew conflict, and the purser's duties, along with colloquial maritime language that registers the polyglot trading world of the Pacific. The manuscript is an unusually rich primary source for early 19th-century Pacific commerce and cross-cultural exchange. A fuller description is available on request. Folio. Text neatly written in manuscript in black ink over 224 pages. Carte-de-visite portrait of George Melcher loosely inserted. Original calf-backed marbled boards, sewn into a sailcloth jacket. Housed in custom blue solander box. Water stained and showing candle grease throughout, some pages age fading, most troublesome in March 1817, a couple of instances of subtle paper restoration, mostly at late August 1816, with leaves lost between 26 August to 14 September 1816, 18 September until 12 December 1816, 11 July 1817 until 14 February 1818, and 30 June 1818 to 25 January 1819; remaining a remarkably well-preserved example.…
