Thinkin about that one whaler who complained about his shipmates in his journal being like ‘no one on this ship reads educational books, no one reads the bible, everyone only wants pencils so they can draw ships and obscene pictures’ and I’m just like…..where are they….where are the dirty drawings this fellow was complaining about…I wanna see some 19th century whaler’s amateur pornographic scribbles so bad WHERE ARE THEY?

Idk why this particular one has gotten so many notes, but here’s the fellow’s actual words. His name was Jon Langdon, and he signed aboard the bark St. Peter in 1849 at age 21.

Excerpt from an 1840s-50s whaling journal of a tight heavy hand, with the transcript following.ALT

[…] topgallantsails. The weather is very pleasant To day is spent like every other sunday in eating and sleeping angry words and a dial of swearing &c. Interesting and instructive books are seldom found in their hands and the perusal of the sacred pages of the Bible is beneath their notice altogether but the slate and pencil are in great demand for drawing Ships obscene pictures &c &c. Took in fore topgallantsail at 2pm.”

Another fellow from another voyage aboard the whaler Saratoga, William Chappell, also complains about his shipmates’ taste in literature. 1853.

“[it grieves me] to see how wreckless and indifferent my shipmates are to this great subject It is painfull to see how dilligent they are in reading the trashy novel to the neglect of the bible”

What trashy novels are you reading lads I wanna know.

everyone does want to talk about how fans of [thing] are the worst on tumblr or twitter or tiktok specifically and it’s like Well your first mistake is interacting with people en masse in regard to something you enjoy/care about. you gotta leave that shit with like a handful of trusted guys lest you get jumpscared every five seconds and/or develop blood pressure problems

“this fandom is a fucking nightmare” don’t go in there man. No one is making you stay in there. you can be free from this

this is such a specific intersection of 3 of my favorite things, i’m kinda obsessed

Well, that was a wild ride.
