Description: | Extract from John Augustine Waller's 'A Voyage to the West Indies.' Waller describes his first sighting of Barbados, his ship's passage into Carlisle Bay, and his first steps on the island. He speaks of his amazement at the extent of the quayside industry, as well as his visits to the naval hospital where every bed was occupied due to yellow fever. He also describes the large, airy new hospital that was being built two miles from the town. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Sir Richard Phillips & Co | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Waller, John Augustine | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
