This collection consists of one logbook from the USS Macedonian during its service as a practice ship for the United States Naval Academy at Newport, RI and later in Annapolis. The log records the weather, communications with other vessels, and midshipmen activities.

Also found within this volume are accounts and notes from Robert M. Marks from Northumberland, Pennsylvania documenting his automobile business, circa 1940-1941. It is unclear as to how this volume came in his possession but appears he was simply using extra blank pages of this volume for his business accounts.
