Quote
Tensions between naval crews and ocean scientists that so often appear in the annals of oceanic exploration (the United States Exploring Expedition of 1839-42, commanded by the naval of.cer Charles Wilkes (Stanton, 1975), comes to mind(10)) seem to have been largely absent from the Albatross. Much of the credit for this happy situation needs to go to Lieutenant Commander Zera L. Tanner, who remained in command of the ship from 1882 to 1894. He was admired by the Fish Commission's staff as a bluff, ruddy-faced skipper who ran a taut but fair ship (Linton, 1915:749; Young, 1922:364-365). Tanner's fellow naval officer, Seaton Schroeder, the Albatross's executive officer and navigator from 1882 to 1885, also commented on his captain's character by describing him as a "consummate seaman" with "a remarkable insight and balanced judgment regarding both men and things, coupled with an iron nerve and decisiveness (Schroeder, 1922:160).

Tanner's marine skills were especially required when the ship deployed its large trawl nets in deep waters. During these operations, a constant strain needed to be maintained in order to prevent the trawl's steel cable from parting during the four or more hours required to complete a deep-water operation (Washburn, 1886:20?21). One Albatross scientist later claimed that Tanner never severed a dredge line (Townsend, 1924:620). But this is an exaggeration since, on at least one occasion in August 1885, the cable did part, resulting in the loss of more than 3,000 fathoms of wire rope plus the entire beam-trawl assemblage. On other occasions, trawl nets came up empty due to the failure of Albatross's crew to place these devices on the ocean floor(11).

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the captain and his crew had notable operational skills. Tanner, himself, generously gave much credit for this situation to the vessel herself. He once described Albatross as having special strength and seaworthiness; the ability to "lay-to" in heavy seas, while recovering its scientific gear, without shipping water over the bow or stern; and having an "easy motion under all circumstances [that] was necessary to the safety of the steelwire dredge rope" (Tanner, 1895:117; Schroeder, 1922:165-166) (Fig. 20).

At the same time, it must be acknowledged that the Albatross had one major operational problem. Almost from the time of the ship's commissioning, it became clear that the ship's boilers were faulty. By 1884, the ship's engineer, Passed Assistant Engineer George W. Baird, U.S. Navy, reported that metal fatigue was the culprit for the many boiler leaks that required the crew to make almost constant repairs(12).

I don't suppose the firemen were exactly the cream of society ;)
and these were only second class :o

Quote
The name Fireman enjoys a proud and storied history. The name originated in the days when the Fireman was responsible for keeping the fires burning in the ship?s boilers which were used to make steam. The steam powered large turbines then produced the ship?s electricity and turned the ship?s propellers.

Ironically, Albatross was known for it's boiler problems ::)

So, was their rowdiness a cause or effect of the boiler problems ;)?

They may have been caught in a descending spiral - attitude lets machinery slip out of line, which highly irritates the attitude, etc.

Hi Camiller,

Inst. is an abbreviation for the Latin "Instante mense", which means "this month".

You can find it mentioned in the "Abbreviations (non-weather)" thread (http://forum.oldweather.org/index.php?topic=639.0), and there has been a nice discussion on the subject here in the forum if i can remember well.

C. J. Boush, ensign on the Albatross (1884) will become a rear admiral, as shown in photos in scrapbook of the USS Arkansas:

http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/albums/s582/s582-a.htm

Also featured at the same event: Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, with a note that he 'seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his famous uncle"!

As for the change from Sea to Cox, I thought it was odd he was discharged as a Cox but re-upped as a Sea again. That link's info makes sense in this context.

Kevin, I left this unanswered thinking the transcribers would know.  But clearly they don't.  I did check it out after Joan brought the unanswered question to our attention - I think what you are up against is that this is the ship's log.  Only the sailing of the ship is involved, and the scientists are simply not-involved passengers who sometimes interfere with ship function by asking for dredging.  They are never listed on the crew pages.

They should always be noted in the comments of the log on the day they came on board for the voyage. but that isn't guaranteed and is unlikely to be in the forum comments anyway.  I don't know if it would help you anyway, as far into the voyage as we are.  It may be in non-digitized state at the Smithsonian.  Maybe.

Sorry I can't help.

In later voyages I have not seen any listing of the science staff.  They are usually mentioned arriving and leaving the ship.  Usually referred to as Mr but they get an occassional Dr or Professor.
The multifascetted Mr Harry Clifford Fassett may be the only permanent science staff.  Others are sent for set times from the fish commission or various universities.  The local press is a good source of names just before the albatross sets out on a cruise.  There are also the reports it does to the fish commission and to the senate to look through for information.  The Smithsonian has the lab logs and dredging details I think.
Alexander Agassiz did some important work on oceanography and marine biology at this time on the ship.

Title: Re: Albatross (1884) -- Crew Lists
Post by: HatterJack on 23 September 2015, 06:33:14
Unlikely, watch-to-watch log keeping was typically done by the ship's quartermaster back then, although it was sometimes done by ship's navigator, when they didn't find the quartermaster's abilities up to snuff. Also, at the time, the rating of quartermaster would have been held by an enlisted man, rather than an officer, so it's altogether likely that their name isn't even listed.

In our ship's case, it's hard to say who is writing the logs, although it seems that almost certainly wasn't Waring, what with his horrible penmanship.
