This typescript sailing log was written by Louis Wright Simpson on Buffalo. It consists of 46 typescript leaves with thirty 2" x 3" photographs attached. It describes the sailing cruise taken by Simpson, Frederick Slee, and George T. Moseley from Buffalo in Lake Erie, through the Welland Canal into Lake Ontario, up the Western shore of Lake Ontario and back again to Buffalo. The journey took place July 11 to August 1, 1914. The three men learned about the outbreak of World War I only upon docking in Buffalo.

The logbook is part of the Slee Family Collection, ca. 1908-1981. Please refer to the finding aid for complete details about the collection.
