What BH said last night (since she hasn't answered), among other things:
- a set of navigational equipment: an octant (BH says that a sextant is still a few years off, though we see HH and Bush using them by LtH), a chart set, which is basically a sharkskin case with a rule, dividers, a drawing compass, pens, pencils.
- possibly personal medical equipment like lancets, though some officers did and others didn't
- telescope if he had the money for it
- sword and pistols, including ball & wad for the pistols
- Falconer's Marine Dictionary and appropriate naval manuals from that era.
- 2 uniforms minimum: duty and dress plus appropriate small clothes and footwear
- writing paper and ink and pen and wax to seal it up.
- housewife with grooming stuff including ribbons for queue
