- Description
- In 1855, Susan Hathorn set sail with her new husband Jode, captain of a three-masted cargo ship. She maintained a record of her first year of marriage and her travels from Philadelphia to Savannah, United States, to the Caribbean, across the Atlantic to Liverpool, England, and home to Maine barely in time to prepare for the birth of the child her husband would never see.
