Description
A ship twenty-four feet wide and eight-five feet long, took the first missionaries to Hawaii, including Reverend Hiram Bingham. It took a 164 day route from Massachusetts, Boston to the Hawaiian Islands.
On board the Thaddeus many letters and diary entries were written. Daniel Chamberlain describes his voyage as cramped with constant sea sickness. This was true for many others who were too ill to document months of their journeys. In the documented journals too there was a sense of fear among travellers. Many asked the Thaddeus’ Captain whether their lives would be in danger at these islands, anxious about the Heathen’s who await.
