Not a good start to the year for the sunsets.
Burton has a bad habit of 'executing sunsets' (see 18-20hrs)

This must have been an amazing sight!

No kidding! I wonder how they made that estimate, though.  ???

Ten days of hydrographic and oceanographic surveys in Prince of Wales Strait. Just to complicate matters, map errors from maps of that time, frequent course changes in one hour, differences between actual distance travelled and distance indicated by revs meant that many of the calculated positions were over land, and which had to be adjusted to get them over water. One of the positions is over land, but it has been corrected in the spreadsheet, but not in this image.

Burton 1953 has been analyzed with hourly positions calculated, and the results sent on to Kevin.

You can see the plots of the spring and fall voyage here (http://forum.oldweather.org/index.php?topic=4830.msg148597#msg148597).
