They must have them queued up waiting to be boarded! ;D :o
Stuart & Joan - Please excuse me for doubling up your posts, but I needed an empty first post.

I think they are doing the fishing fleets in every port of
call. With that enormous coastline and so short a growing season,
Alaska settlements are never short of fishing boats.
-
Are those records worth taking up forum space?
I am happy to do them if they may be useful.
-
I think so. Right now our other ships are much older, but later we may have
scribbles logs from that time/area with some of these ships mentioned.
-
Not much happening on the Manning.
Logs seem to end on the 30 December 1916.
-
The Naval History Hompage says for the Manning: Log Period and
Areas of Service: 1898-1930, East and West Coasts of US, Alaskan
waters, Spanish-American War and World War 1 service.
They are probably still scanning.
-
They are definitely still scanning. ;D
I think many of the
new ships will be giving us 20, 30 or 40 years of logs eventually.
I'm kind of looking forward to learning something of a ship's full
history.
-
Do you think they would bother with logs much more recent than WW 1,
Janet? Looking at the video showing ship traffic over time to which
Philip sent us a link t, there appears to be a lot of recent ocean
weather data.

oh dear - I drew a short straw - the Rodgers burns down after about 5
months. Well - might be the first VAL of the third age!! 8)

The 41 years of straight service take the Bear to 1926 - very much
the era of Phases 1 & 2. The additional short service voyages
include "second expedition of Admiral Richard E. Byrd to Antarctica, and
again to the southernmost continent in 1941 second expedition of
Admiral Richard E. Byrd to Antarctica (1934), and again to the
southernmost continent in 1941." (Wiki) She served the rest of
WWII up around Greenland. (That wonderful ice-resistant hull
again.)
I doubt very much they want her when she was a
museum in LA, but those Antarctic trips may be attractive. I
really don't know, we'll have to wait for the scans.

Buy your tickets now!
I think you or they duplicated something Janet ;)
-
We'll just have to wait to see what they can feed us when. ::)
