The Jens Peter Olsen Collection consists of 6 logbooks that he kept himself. The logbooks contain the day to day happenings of a training voyage and other types of voyages in the early 20th century and are all written in Danish. He records the length of each voyage, vessels spoke, and ports of entry visited. He also describes a meeting with the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark during his voyage on the GEORG STAGE.

In addition to his logbooks there is a magazine article describing the history of the GEORG STAGE, a two page translation and transcription of the first 11 entries in the GEORG STAGE log from Danish to English, a story about a ship called the GOLDEN HORN that wrecks on its way back to England from Port au Prince, 3 pages written in Danish that appear to be a letter, and photocopies of everything in the collection.
