Welcome on board the USRC/USS Perry

This ship was officially known as Commodore Perry. Commodore seems to have been dropped in most references.

Have a look around the forum, and don't hesitate to pose questions! There are lots of people who would be happy to respond. Each time you join a new ship have a look for one of these pages.

Feel free to add your own questions and comments to: Perry -- Discussion: Questions and Comments (http://forum.oldweather.org/index.php?topic=3698.0)

If you are interested in the names of crew members see: Perry -- Crew Lists (http://forum.oldweather.org/index.php?topic=3697.0)

We currently have example log pages for the following formats:

USRC Perry

This post covers a log page from 2 August 1896

Comments on the log:

This is a fairly standard log format.
Normally there are 24 weather records per day.
Note that the date in the log is in US order (month, day, year) and on the Date tab the order is day, month, year following the Royal Navy format.
Note that on the RN ships we encouraged transcribers to record the names of people, places, and ships mentioned in the log. Now that we are in the Arctic, there are some new items that are of interest. The scientists would appreciate your recording sightings of sea ice on the Sea Ice tab and sightings of animals on the Animals tab. The historians would appreciate your recording refueling on the Refueling tab.
NEW: Kevin Wood (a member of the OW science team) and Chris Davis (of the Solar Stormwatch project) are interested in reports of sunspots and aurorae because these are very informative about the activity of the Sun. Kevin and Chris would appreciate your recording these reports on the Events tab. For more information see Old Space Weather: sightings of aurorae and sunspots (http://forum.oldweather.org/index.php?topic=3670.0)

Notes for transcribers:

The Bar Height, Ther Attached and Temperatures are recorded every two hours rather than every hour.
There is no field on the page specifically for refueling. If the amount of coal received is mentioned, the data should go on the Refueling tab. There may be entries for 'Coal consumed' and 'Coal remaining', but there is no need to enter these numbers unless they interest you (in which case they would go on the Events tab).
The log keeper enters 'fog' as the cloud code at 9.00 am and that is the entry you should transcribe.
If any of the wind directions or cloud codes are included in the drop-down menus, you may choose those instead of what is written. 'West' may be entered as 'W'. 'Nimb' may be entered as 'Nim'. If there is any doubt about which cloud type in the list to use, type exactly what the log keeper wrote.

Notes for transcribers:

The date should be transcribed. Date = 02/08/1896.
With the exception of the date, entering any or all of the information on this page is optional, although including the ice, people and places mentioned below is encouraged. Note: When transcribing descriptions or context, please do not edit what is written in the log. It is OK to transcribe only a small segment of the text if the log entry is long. Do not enter a '?' unless that symbol actually appears in the logbook. The scientists know that we often have to guess.

Sighting of the seal can be entered on the Animals tab:
Animals | Type of Animal = Seal Number of Animals = 1
American Schooner Alton can be entered on the Mentions tab:
Mentions | Ship | Name = Am. Sch. "Alton" Context = stopped+boarded Am. Sch. "Alton", San Francisco, Wester master, Sealing - no skins on board.
or simply stopped+boarded Am. Sch. "Alton"
British Schooner Triumph can be entered on the Mentions tab:
Mentions | Ship | Name = Br. Sch. "Triumph" Context = stopped+boarded Br. Sch. "Triumph", Victoria, McLean master, Sealing - 163 Japan skins, +16 fresh skins on board.
or simply stopped+boarded Br. Sch. "Triumph"

There are entries for Crew count, Rations, Underway hours and Distance cruised in the left-hand column but there is no need to enter these numbers unless they interest you (in which case they would go on the Events tab).
For more information on log keepers and the schooners Alton and Triumph, see: Other information and comments (below).
If you cannot read a letter, a number, or a whole word, please enter a tilde (~) or tildes to indicate this.
Note that it is not possible to enter superscripts like 1^st, 2^d or 9³⁰. Ordinal numbers can be entered as 1st and 2d or as 1'st and 2'd. Times can be transcribed using a point or a colon between hours and minutes (9.30 or 9:30). Other superscripts can be indicated with an apostrophe (for'd for for^d).
In general, the symbols for degrees, minutes, and seconds can be omitted. Because the entry boxes will not accept a degree symbol, we have developed the convention of using a lower-case 'o' to represent degrees. In this case, adding the symbols for degrees and minutes seemed to make the meaning clearer. However, this is up to the transcriber to decide.
All the full stops (periods) used in the log entries have been transcribed, but full stops in common abbreviations may be omitted.

Log keepers' quirks:

The number '5' is sometimes rotated by the log keeper.

Uppercase H can appear similar to St.

USS Perry

This post covers a log page from 11 June 1904

Comments on the log:

It is recommended that only experienced transcribers attempt this log.
This is not a standard log format.

This logbook does not have preprinted pages. A rubberstamp is used to provide the grid for the weather entry. The weather and events are generally on a single page but may be spread out over two or more pages. For this reason, the 'Progress Bar', just above the image of the log page, will be out of sequence and should be ignored.
In cases where there is more than one page per day, the date may be on every page. The date should be entered where it appears even if it has already been recorded. Note also that the date in the log is in US order (month, day, year) and on the Date tab the order is day, month, year following the Royal Navy format.
Not all the data requested on the Weather Observation tab is available. If there is no corresponding column in the log, just leave the entry box blank.
The order of the columns in the log does not match the order of the columns on the Weather Observation tab.
The format of the table for the weather data and the number of entries may vary depending on whether the ship is in port or at sea.

On the RN ships we encouraged transcribers to record the names of people, places, and ships mentioned in the log. Now that we are in the Arctic, there are some new items that are of interest. The scientists would appreciate your recording sightings of sea ice on the Sea Ice tab and sightings of animals on the Animals tab. The historians would appreciate your recording refueling on the Refueling tab.
NEW: Kevin Wood (a member of the OW science team) and Chris Davis (of the Solar Stormwatch project) are interested in reports of sunspots and aurorae because these are very informative about the activity of the Sun. Kevin and Chris would appreciate your recording these reports on the Events tab.

Notes for transcribers:

If any of the wind directions are in included in the interface drop-downs, you may choose those instead of what is written. 'West' may be entered as 'W'.

Log keepers' quirks:

The log keeper tends not to close 'o's.

When writing a double zero, the log keeper tends not to close one or both ciphers.
