Welcome, ZRH, Pennemite and Theremin.

Hi to all.
My name is Dave and I work at the Oceanography Centre in Southampton, actually in the heart of the port, so I have a connected interest in helping here.
It's great to see all the shipping coming and going here like cruise ships and container vessels.
I originally had problems reading the handwritten text on the charts but have developed an easier way to read them which I will post when I find where to put them, say to Hints & Tips for example.
I have noticed a few bugs, so when I know where to report them, I will.
Keep up the good work, old documents like these shouldn't be allowed to be lost forever.
Warm regards. Dave.
Hello.
I'm Half65.
I was with Zoouniverse since it was just Galaxyzoo.
I'm famous for my espresso machine :D :D :D that now is on also on the olWeather deck
I'm Italian
Ciao
Welcome aboard, everyone. It's good to see you here.

Hi Everyone,:D :D Hey someone from my neck of the woods or close too ;D
I don't usually do intros on Zoo projects, but it's a rainy Friday here in San Francisco so I figured why not? I'm Sarah, and I'm a health care marketer by day and artist person nights and weekends. I've been with the Zoo projects since we were figuring out whether the spiral galaxies were clockwise or counterclockwise. My favorite project of late has been the Supernovas.
But I think Old Weather is my new favorite! It has definitely kept me entertained at work for the past couple days. Anyhow, I'm not a forum junkie but I do post from time to time. Nice to meet everyone!
Sarah (galaxirose)
Hi everyone,:D Well hello Helen I am so glad you joined us. A pleasure meeting you.
I'm Helen; I'm a Franciscan sister, living in Oxfordshire in the UK. I heard something about Old Weather on R4, thought I'd have a quick look and got thoroughly hooked. Having risen to the giddy heights of Captain of Rinaldo I think I'm here for the long haul, as she's only 10% through the logs, and I feel a loyalty to her, though I do go off to other ships occasionally.
I've no naval connections whatsoever, and a distinct tendency to seasickness, so this is by far the best way of exploring a very different world.
Dear Herr H.kohler,
Your tale sounds very "Swiss Family Robinson" to me. Join us for a gimlet or two in the officers' mess, for if you've been around a bit, your a lieut, or more probably a captain.
CharlesNorrieTemp of the Comus and Mersey.
Welcome,
Franciscan Sister and Captain of the Rinaldo!
Probably the only time those words have ever been uttered in a single sentence before.
Are you going to be a blue light Admiral?
No in any way improper but applied to those Captains, Commodores and Admirals who were evangelically inclined in the C18 and C19 RN.
One final thought that keeps me amused, during the really boring bits. Did the scribes of the logs ever dream that their words would in time be available to be read by thousands?You'd think that if they did, they'd have watched their handwriting a bit more!;)
I also sometimes look at the OW Rankings and pick a ship that's at the 98% mark to finish off, as a guarnateed-short break.I've already tried that, actually, but I've found that I tend to struggle quite a lot to adapt to the new handwriting and the new set phrases, so it takes me ten times as long to transcribe a single page. Which is perfectly natural, of course, but it's frustrating in its own way, especially when there are things which I absolutely can't decipher.
There are every kind of ship here, with every kind of writing. Some of them had their logs copied by clear and elegant writers. Some of them are in the middle of battle zones. Some of them, like Torch, are tenders for base ships - she gets sent all over the Mediterranian and Black Seas as delivery truck / mailman / taxicab.Hmm, that's what you'd think, but on my ship I'm currently the only person who's active, even though there's technically supposed to be 100 people working on it - 99 if you disregard the captain, who seems to have gone through the entire log and then left.
As long as you do not finish a single page, you can shop ships until you find one that is interesting to you and then "unlist" all the rejects from your profile page.
And with the hundreds of members here, a ship will not be abandoned. Try looking through Naval-History.net's list of our ships (http://www.naval-history.net/Oxon01-ShipList.htm) to get an idea where they were posted and when we are given their voyages to pick one that suits you.
I'm looking at the long term - by the end of this project this spring, everyone who loves the experience will still be here, cycling the last ships between them. The whole experience here is fun, and I don't intend to let a less-than-perfect ship, from my preferences' POV, kick me out early.That's true. I suppose I may have come across as a bit negative there... I am actually quite fond of this ship, and there's also an element of wanting to finish what I started. It becomes more interesting if you persist, because you get a better idea of what it is exactly that the ship is doing. Also, according to Naval History, if I manage to last through another two years of Northern Patrol, I'll get to go to Dakar - surely that has to be worth the effort?;)
Had to laugh, when mutabilitie revealed a thought to jump ship, but just then it got interesting.See? That's one of the advantages of transcribing the log of a ship which nobody else is interested in: you get to see the lot.;)
Because I can never tell what date will pop up when I get back to the Merlin, I always scan the next day's log to make sure I'm not missing something really good. ;D
Hi everyone,I can't poach you for the Patia (http://www.oldweather.org/vessels/4caf897ccadfd34197026a16) by any chance, can I?;) Not the most exciting of ships (although there are some entertaining entries), but she does spend a lot of time at sea and the logs are very legible.
My name is Jeff. I live near Los Angeles, CA and read about OW in the Los Angeles Times just a few days ago. I retired from the US Merchant Marine in 2009 after 34 years as a deck officer. Part of my work was filling out the deck log book with entries very similiar to these. A few years ago I worked online on Project Gutenberg for a while, a project much like this one - transcribing old books of all sorts into digital format. Despite/because of my work, I am interested in naval history of all types. I have read all of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels at least once and have several feet of space on my book shelves devoted to maritime subjects. I am currently reading The War for All the Oceans by Roy and Lesley Adkins. In OW I have started out rotting in port aboard HMS Cairo in 1919. Can't wait to get to sea!
Pleased to meet you Jeff.Here you go: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Category:Volunteering
[Given the time I spend on Old Weather -and will continue to spend! I don't have time for much else (I've all but given up on MoonZoo and I've quit Stardust entirely), but I'm curious about the Project Gutenberg. Is it still going on? Where can I find out more? - THANKS]

I had a very interesting experience in Berlin in 1991 - an American in a former East Berlin train station waiting for my train back to Frankfurt being stared at by a group of young Soviet soldiers waiting for their train. It was just so surreal.

Hello Everybody,
I received a nice email from Caro inviting me to join the forum and here I am.
My name is Silvia and I live in Italy. As I wrote Caro, I love this project very much, but actually I realized just a few days ago that I transcribed all those logs.
I came across Old Weather through an email from Galaxy Zoo, as I worked on that project in the past.
I read some of the threads here and I find the Old Weather community very friendly.
I take this opportunity to thank you all for all the help, suggestions and comments posted in this forum.
I wish you all a very nice day :)
My parents met as SFA - my mother's father was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Rusk.Excuse my ignorance, Kathy, but what is 'SFA'?
Hi, I'm Tony, married with 3 grown up(ish) kids, live in Somerset UK and am ex-RN, left in 1989 after 13 years service. Been involved in various mass computing projects, SETI probably being the most widely known and heard about OW from Fleet Air Arm forum (air branch of RN).
G'day Caro,
What's the best way to get you a couple of photos? Email attachment to a 'personal message'? Load them as an attachment to a posting? I'm sure that there is a posting somewhere on this forum that tells me how to do it, but it would probably take about three days to sort through the two squillion posts. Can you short-cut the info for me?
C heers,
Steeleye
I came to oldWeather v 1.0 rather late in its life, but I'm looking forward to be in on the keel-laying ceremony for v 2.0.
(By now, you must be starting to think that I am really odd!)Take it from me, odd people feel right at home here ;D ;) ;D
The camera is up and working again this morning, so here's a few photos of OW-era battlecruisers made in paper card. Both kits come from JSC, a Polish company, and are in 1:250 scale which makes them a good size to work on. The Anglicised Polish instructions can be fun to work with too!Szukacz could give you a hand with that. ;)
The Goeben (German battlecruiser) became the Turkish 'Yavuz Sultan Selim' in 1914 and was not scrapped until 1973, at the grand old age of 62. The Lion received a fair old flogging as Beatty's flagship in WWi and was sold for scrap in 1924.
Both models have taken me far longer to finish (and the Lion is still going) than the originals. I blame it on the current dockyard workforce of one, who is not terribly efficient.;D
Cheers,
Steeleye
You're talking a serious outboard there, bunts; it must have had a heck of a puller cord. I also like the highly nautical 'sharp' and 'blunt'. I've sometimes wondered, as one does, about the varying shapes of warship sterns - from squared-off to pointy. Most warships have rounded sterns. However, many battleships/battlecruisers have very pointed sterns, while cruisers, possibly from the 1930s on, were usually built with a squared-off stern (often referred to as a 'cruiser stern'). Incongruously, HMS Vanguard, the last RN battleship built, also had a 'cruiser stern'. Perhaps her designer just got confused.
I wonder if the different styles were a fashion thing, or whether they were found to be the most efficient shape for warships of different sizes? (Some days I worry about the triviality of some of the things that I wonder about - I wonder what it's a sign of.)
Cheers,
Howard

* confusingly I've always thought the traditional shape was called the cruiser stern.
Thanks for revealing that your connection (sorry!) is with the SVR. I wondered which, but didn't like to pry. I've visited several preserved railways but not yours, yet. I'm always impressed how "the staff" find time to chat and not to laugh at some of the silly questions that they're asked.
That's an interesting mix - steam and astrophysics. Not that I am surprised, I know of one astrophysicist who was ordained into the priesthood. Obviously not a field for anyone with a closed mind.
Good to have you join us, ranheek. I started work on the St George last night, although Chatham is not quite 'down the road' from here. However, the world is our oyster!
;D
Dean,
Bunting Tosser, That's a strange name, I picture you running around the ship in port decorating with bunting. Yes my "Tin Can" was a WWII vintage rigged for anti-sub warfare. We spent our time off the east coast chasing Russian subs and their snooping trawlers. We also spent the summer of 1960 in the Med. The destroyer is now sitting at the bottom of the sea off the Florida Keys as a fish reef.
Thanks all for your warm welcome, I hope to be active for a long time to come. Tnx Dean...
... I have a great interest in Weather for several reasons: I taught Science for 38 years in a local (near Niagara Falls, NY) School District. I have been part of the Natl Weather Service Spotters Net for 18 years - measuring snow and rain and reporting it each day from a registered station in my back yard, and as a sailor on Lake Ontario I DEPEND on weather. The logs are fun, I'm used to keeping my OWN and I am learning a great deal here. Hope I can help fill in some of the 'climate gaps.'
BTW - anyone with an interest in 'realtime' weather rain/snow/ maps, etc. all over USA - check out www.CoCoRaHS.org where many of us report daily. My Station ID is NY-NG-2.
Blessings, dean
Thank you all for your kind words and recommendations! I feel incredibly welcome :),
I've done some transcribing for Intrepid already, and I've done some Foxglove, Ebro and Gnat as well, they were not moving at the time :).
Once I get the hang of the positions I'll just pick a ship and stick with it.
I think that a person could get a lot of work done on the Highflyer, good handwriting. But the logkeeper appears to like weather a lot more than he likes people, so slim pickings for history buffs so far.
Choices choices...
I guess I should introduce myself, seeing as I've beem chatting/throwing stores overboard/getting hit by lightning/crashing seaplanes for a few days!
I'm a second year Astrophysics student at the University of Sheffield (UK), and was attracted to Universe Zoo by... well, take a guess! However, I found a lot of those pretty mundane - whilst the science itself was interesting and I could appreciate why human input was necessary for those projects, I just couldn't put up with it. I took a chance and clicked the "Old Weather" button, and was rather impressed by the concept behind the project - and the logs are much more interesting. You never know when a Vice Admiral is going to sail into port!
I've got a moderate interest in history and navies, which naturally helped. As mentioned in another topic, my main hobby is playing with steam trains - I work as a signalman on my local steam railway, the Severn Valley Railway (www.svr.co.uk), and also as a demonstator for the Exeter West Group (http://www.studio433.co.uk/exeterwest/). I guess that's another reason I'm so attracted to the logbooks - just compare a Train Register Book (the filling of which was, and still is, a legal requirement for all manual signalboxes) to the naval logbooks: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/martin43_2006/TRB.jpg
Has anyone (other than Skukacz) the slightest idea how to SAY where she lives!
Dad lend me his account for a while so I will simply specify my problem:
While reading and watching the Game of Thrones there appeared word 'ale' that wasn't translated into Polish equivalent of beer. I always thought that ale is Middle Age beer. Are translators right?
My dad said that you have enormous knowlegde of history and you'll be capable of answering to my question so I'll look forward to it.
Thank you in advance.

Sensible idea! ;DHe ;)
Whoops... my apologies!
I'm always in doubt about this (English is a great language, but from first person sentences you can rarely tell the gender).
When I started reading and writing here in the forum I was using default=male, then I realized i was simply surrounded by womens and switched to default=female :P :P

At the moment you are definitely an honorary member but unlike the rest of us one day (I hope) you will discard your metal & hence will pass through the scanner at the airport with only routine checks while the rest of us will be wanded, frisked or both. However if the orthopaedic surgeons decide that some sort of metallic reconstruction is required for you to throw away your crutch then you will become a full member of the 'thou shalt not pass' club.Awww - you're kind! :D
Hope you achieve normal mobility soon
I cannot remember which cruise ship I was boarding but I set off the detector and when I said I had a new knee the security asked to see the scar. As my trouser legs were to tight roll up I offered to drop my pants, he changed his mind. True story.:o :o :o
I have one ceramic and titanium hip which doesnt set of normal airport detectors. However, week after next I go in for my second to be done, so will have to see whether that is sufficient to set them off.
When I asked the doctor what to do if the first one set off the detectors he suggested that offering to show the scar usually did the trick. Havent had to try it yet but will do so if necessary.
Maybe we should set up a new topic line : Where is your metal and how much do you have?! ::) 8)
With the hips, knees, (I'm carrying a Titanium plate and 13 screws in my leg from an accident) we could have a whole discussion about therapy, airports, etc.
Maybe a contest 'I can set off a metal detector at xx metres??!!' ;)

How about a contest for sound effects? I had my first hip done in 2011. 18 months ago I had the second hip replaced. As you tend to do, I put more pressure on the good leg while the new hip was in rehab. In this case, my 2011 hip started to make extended squeaking noises when I sat down ... sort of like the noise that door hinges make when they need oiling. It was quite audible and both Lynne and I found it somewhat disturbing.
I've also told my kids not to get me cremated when my time comes. Like a good ship, they should just send me to the breaker's yard. The metal used in hips should be worth a bit.
When I click on Joan's "house" I get an image of "The Jolly Boatman" on the left.

Thanks Stuart :D The JB is in Thrupp - just above Kidlington. I've visited there for a Sunday lunch after a long walk across the fields many times. From there it's only about 1.5 miles back to home. Thrupp is a very pretty little village. Mostly tiny old workers' cottages from the old days of having an active canal basin. :DWhen I click on Joan's "house" I get an image of "The Jolly Boatman" on the left.

Greetings,
I would like to introduce myself...I am Neal. I reside in Maryland on the Eastern Shore area with my wife, dog and several cats. My daughter lives next door. I am a writer and professional poet. I hold a Doctorate in Biblical Studies. I happened upon OW through Zooniverse where I transcribe several topics. Injured in a volunteer firefighting incident has left me home-bound so I use all of the time writing and cartooning as well as transcribing. I had been the Publication's Officer for the USCG Aux. newsletter for my flotilla. That's about it...except howdy to all!
That was a super video Dean. Thank you! I was in seventh heaven. I adored the Merry-Go-Round as a kid - and adult. And a mini steam train ride - cool :D
I agree with hanibal - the Christmas Eve Ostrich was a great find :D
And I learned yours are different in England. Yours go clockwise & ours go anti clockwise! ;-)
Here is another bit of history ;)
Pittsburgh Photographic Library (https://www.historicpittsburgh.org/collection/pittsburgh-photographic-library-collection)
These are from the collection of negatives that I have been helping to scan. I am pretty sure that I recognize a few of them! ;)
It's been great so far. I'm already on my second logbook section. My last big project was one woman's journals she had kept every day of her life from 16 into her 80s (she was born in 1906) and that was quite a challenge but also ended up being much more fascinating than I originally anticipated. I really enjoy this sort of work, even the "decoding old handwriting" part of it.
Shipped three boxes Eskimo specimens to Mr. C.G. Abbott at San Diego, Calif by American Railway Express. These boxes were received on board at Point Barrow from Mr. Charles Brower.
The Browers go back to the old whaling days in Utqigvik, as you probably know. There's a book by Charlie Brower - 50 years below zero: https://archive.org/details/fiftyyearsbelowz006297mbp
An agreement between Mr. Brower, manager of whaling station at Point Barrow, and the natives he agreed to employ. I mention it here because I didn't transcribe it.

Hi Kevin - two good posts. That noise of the ice is so frightening. You rarely hear comments about it in the log books which amazes me. I went to a talk by Henry Brower, a current-day Inuit whaling captain. He mentioned that some visitors make the mistake of wearing good hard-bottomed boots when coming to see how a modern whaling hunt works. Once the whales hear those heavy footsteps they scram. The Inuit wear soft skin boots that make very little noise, if any.

Welcome, and hello from the big island on the west coast! I worked for three years as a meteorologist with Environment Canada in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. While there, I managed to spend some time on The Rock, and I have fond memories of that trip. You get to see a lot more ice there than we do here! ;D ;D ;D We did see a couple of icebergs near Fogo Island.
I thought they made everyone work at Gander for a while early in their careers as some sort of baptism/catechism of horrible things to try to forecast?!
bumpkins in my experience equalled country yokels. However, it appears to be the name for a type of spar fitted to sailing ships.
And, if you like northern adventures, some of our ships were involved in this:

Sorry Guys.
I meant to send Brian the help stuff by PM :-[

Sorry Guys.also shall find that note massively useful. I have redone M23 and am working on a redo of M24. then M25 and I'll be looking to join you folks on the 'new' stuff!

Welcome, Micheline! It's great to have another meteorologist on the team! I was a meteorologist for 40 years, 12 of which I spent on military bases in Canada and Germany. I never did get to forecast for the tropics. That's a whole different ball of wax!
I hope you enjoy your work as much as I did. It's a wonderful job to have.
There's a paper waiting to write itself on the 20CRv3 depiction of North Pacific / Bering Sea cyclones & their interaction with the North American ridge (and sea ice). In case there are any meteorologists interested...

Hi all! My name is Suzanne and I am from Knoxville, Tennessee. I am an environmental scientist and work in River and Resource Management. I have worked on several dendrochronology projects to reconstruct chemical signatures from the past and am now working with a group on a project for historic droughts. I stumbled across the project on the NOAA website looking for precipitation data. I have worked on a few Zooniverse projects and iNaturalist projects.
