Forbes Grace, born in 1926, was a lifelong resident of Jacksonville, Florida. During his lifetime, he was a captain and pilot, craftsman, and realtor. After his passing in 2016, Forbes left behind a series of unpublished journals. One of Forbes' great-grandsons came into possession of these journals, and digitized them for viewing on the Internet Archive under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Below are listed all the journals.
Three journals chronicle his five-month-long journey around the world in 1971 across several cruise liners and shipping vessels. The works provide a perspective of a Floridian traveling throughout South and Central America, South Africa, and South East Asia.
Journal One - February to April, 1971
Journal Two - April to May, 1971
Journal Three - May to June, 1971
Two journals contain various astronomic observations made from his home in Jacksonville, Florida in June of 1969.
