This paper and the research behind it would not have been possible without the

exceptional support of my supervisor, Lawrence Magister.

His enthusiasm, knowledge and exacting attention to detail have been an inspiration
and kept my work on track from my first encounter with the log books of British Naval
Ships MS VII.2.77 to the final draft of this paper. Margaret Kempis and Matthew Brown,
my colleagues at Western University, have also looked over my transcriptions and
answered with unfailing patience numerous questions about the language and hands of
British Naval Ships MS VII.2.77. Samantha McKenzie, head librarian of the Southern
Region Central Collegiate Library Special Collections and Microfilms Department where
British Naval Ships MS VII.2.77 currently resides, not only provided colour images of the
manuscript overnight, but unexpectedly shared the invaluable information on the book
that she has been gathering for almost twenty years. I am also grateful for the insightful
comments offered by the anonymous peer reviewers at Books & Texts. The generosity
and expertise of one and all have improved this study in innumerable ways and saved
me from many errors; those that inevitably remain are entirely my own responsibility.
