F5-1 Jacob S. Ellegood’s journal is a daily record for a period of approximately ten months. It contains one hundred and thirty six pages of hand written notes that are remarkably readable, considering the age and condition of the manuscript. Included is a daily record of weather conditions and wind directions; information on vessels entering and clearing the port of Saint John with the names of their captains, the ports from which they sailed, their destinations, and frequently the names of arriving passengers; details of vessels arriving from the St. John River and those leaving to sail up the River. Mention is made of social events, especially plays, distinguished visitors to the City, and other personal and social activities. At the end of the Journal there is a tabulated page entitled “List of Vessels arrived at Saint John” May 2 - June 5 [1800], and a similar page entitled “List of Vessels sailed from Saint John” May 4 - June 5 [1800]. Each list gives the date of arrival or sailing, the rigg, the name of the vessel and the master’s name, “where from or where to” and the passage time for a few of the arrivals. There is a gap in the Journal from 25 June 1800 to 5 July 1800. It appears that pages have been removed.
