From the preface: "My late father's diary of his terrible experiences in the whale-ship Diana in 1866-67 has been in my possession for a great number of years. It was not until a ship I was surgeon of happened to go to Hull in October, 1920, that I became aware of there being some relics of the Diana in existence still, and on exhibition in two of the Hull museums. It was the sight of these relics that reawakened my interest in the story of the Diana, and which impelled me to take in hand at last my father's old manuscript with a view to editing it for publication."
