The Diary of Henry Teonge is a historical book that details the experiences of Henry Teonge, a chaplain onboard three of His Majesty's ships: Assistance, Bristol, and Royal Oak, from the years 1675 to 1679. The diary provides a firsthand account of life at sea during the late 17th century, including descriptions of shipboard routines, the daily lives of sailors, and encounters with foreign vessels. Teonge also writes about the various ports of call he visited, including the Caribbean, West Africa, and the Mediterranean, and provides insights into the customs, cultures, and trade of these regions. Additionally, the book includes Teonge's reflections on his religious duties as a chaplain and his interactions with the crew, officers, and captains of the ships he served on.
