Thanks so much, Michael. I was planning to eventually get all of 1880 done.

I've completed the logbook for January 1880. I'll reserve and start on Feb. and March 1880.

I've finished transcribing the Weather and Events pages from the Sacramento for April 1924.

Now back to the 1880 USS Kearsarge!

Thanks, Michael! I'll go ahead and reserve April and will transcribe all of the Weather and Event pages.

It looked like the logbook pages were not available for April 1924 so I won't be doing April.

Warning - Don't ask for seconds at supper on the USS Kearsarge. From the ship's logbook on the 4 pm to 8 pm watch on January 2, 1880: "By order of Commanding Officer placed John F. Kelly in double irons."

I will transcribe the Weather and Event pages for the USS Kearsarge for January 1880.

I have finished transcribing the Weather and Event pages for the USS Sacramento for March 1924 (events which happened 100 years ago this month!).

I will reserve and start transcribing the Weather and Event pages for April 1924.

I have finished transcribing the data for the USS Sacramento for Feb. 1924. I will start transcribing both the Weather and Event information for March 1924.

I am really enjoying contributing to this project!

I've completed Jan. 1924. I'll go ahead and transcribe both the Weather and Events pages for February 1924.

I will transcribe both the Weather and the Events pages for all of January 1924.

Randi has been a great help in getting me comfortable with the transcribing process. I wrote down the steps that I follow in order to successfully transcribe and upload a page from a ship's logbook. Randi suggested that I post it for others to see. I hope this may help others new to the project! Tra...
