Summary: "A Tour Up the Straits, from Gibraltar to Constantinople" by Captain David Sutherland is a travel memoir written in the late 18th century. The book chronicles the author's voyage through the Mediterranean, exploring significant historical sites and events, particularly those related to the ongoing conflict among the Austrians, Russians, and Turks. Sutherland narrates his journey with an eye for detail, highlighting both the landscapes and historical anecdotes that characterize the regions he visits. The opening of the memoir begins with Sutherland receiving leave from the garrison at Gibraltar to embark on this adventure. His journey starts with a vivid description of the historical and geographical context of his route, as well as engaging reflections on the places he passes, such as Ceuta and Almeria. Sutherland's journal-like entries relay his observations about the rich history influenced by Moorish conquests, as well as his personal experiences and encounters with the people he meets along the coast. As he sets the stage for his travels, Sutherland begins to weave a narrative that blends historical commentary with personal discovery, providing an intriguing glimpse into both the past and the nature of travel in that era.
