From 1746 to 1749, the Swedish rigged brig <i>Götha Lejon</i> sailed on a mercantile mission to Canton. Several accounts of what transpired have survived. This handwritten journal has been attributed to Carl Fredrik von Schantz (1727-92). Another account of the mission of <i>Götha Lejon</i> was compiled by Carl Johan Gethe (1728-65).
