On offer is a charming, original 1930s manuscript log and notebook comprising 42 pages of logs, notes and study materials and drawings (of flags, anchors, ships, etc.) all relating to sailing, ships and the sea, and another section of roughly equal length with notes on geology, rock types, and drawings of formations reflecting a parallel, perhaps later, interest in natural history. The author identifies himself as Coxswain Granville Wilson of the Sea Scout Patrol Harrison. Eleven Scouts are noted by list.
