Check out "Log of Logs" by Ian Nicholson. There are two volumes with ships alphabetically indexed. Most list years of sailing, the survival of surgeon's reports and diaries with locations of where they can be located. Unfortunately not all survived but Ian has researched this quite thoroughly. It's sad that he passed away before completing his project.
These books should be available at Genealogy Societies and major city libraries. You could also try the newspaper as they are often listed in the shipping news or sometimes, passengers wrote a report of their voyage. On the odd occasion, it could also be mentioned in the Colonial Secretary's correspondence.
