Logbook of the SS Diana from Halifax towards Hudson Bay created by John E. Stewart, second mate of the expedition under the command of William Wakeham, dating from June 3rd to September 15th,1897. The expedition was charged by the Canadian government with reassessing the period during which the Hudson Strait was navigable (ice-free) as well as asserting the Canadian rights to Baffin Island and the Arctic Archipelago. This second part of the expedition's mission was fulfilled on August 17th by proclaiming Canadian sovereignty over these territories at Kekerton, Baffin Island. The document includes also the log of a previous voyage of John E. Stewart to the Caribbean in 1896 (log of the Bessie Louisa).
