Shipboard diaries of emigrants are relatively common, but the journal, kept by the Reverend William Trollope on his voyage to Australia on the JOHN MUNN in 1849, is full of incident. During the five months at sea there was continual friction over poor provisions, dissension over religious services and drunken, riotous behaviour. In an attempted mutiny, the captain was rescued by passengers, who then had to take the watches. At Adelaide William Trollope gave his account of the voyage to the local press and was then abused by the ungrateful captain. The journal was purchased by the National Library of Australia at a Melbourne sale, along with four pamphlets by Trollope - The Roman Catholics of Port Phillip and their champion (1850) and three sermons that he later delivered in Hobart.
