While the Military template might work, especially if you know he was a ship's carpenter for the Navy, not a commercial vessel, I would be more inclined to try the Diary or Artifacts templates first, as they seem to me to be closer to the type of privately held source material you have.
I would not use the Book template, as that formatting is for published material, which a log book definitely is not. As for how to enter it, I agree with having only one event summarizing the information, not a separate event for each voyage.

It shows the details of the ships he sailed on, their dates and places of departure and discharge, where they went, and what he sailed as. Now how do I enter and source this?
