Thomas Crawford's Diary, 1825
“The anniversary of Waterloo.”
Entry for 18/06/1825
Saturday 18th June. The weather very delightful and the water calm. The ship sailing very smoothly, with a light breeze, at the rate of from 4 to 6 notes. The cabin passengers after dinner had a bowl of punch (but I preferred a Tumbler of Toddy) being the anniversary of Waterloo.
