| Summary | "Narrative of a Voyage to India; of a Shipwreck on board the Lady Castlereagh" by W. B. Cramp is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book recounts the author's journey from England to India and details the experiences and adventures encountered during the voyage, including a shipwreck and observations of various cultures. The opening of the narrative describes Cramp's departure from England aboard the Princess Charlotte, detailing the chaotic environment of the ship as they set sail. He vividly recounts the ceremonious crossing of the equinoctial line and introduces various characters, including Neptune and his maritime entourage, who perform a traditional initiation for those crossing the line for the first time. Cramp's reflections on the sea, the crew's interactions, and the beautiful yet tumultuous nature of his journey establish a foundation for the ensuing adventures, setting an engaging tone for the subsequent chapters.
