Day 126. Flying fish and salt horse: a seafaring tale
2nd December 1859:
Sunday. The Carpenter, Sails, Poupard, Richards and the Steward and I were Ashore on liberty to day. We had a first rate spree.
Last chance for Richard and his crew mates to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the streets of Rio before setting off for Peru and weeks at sea. Sounds like they made the most of their freedom!
