Sorry, it was page 198 (4/13/1873) at 7:20 AM.

I just want to confirm that I'm reading this correctly. This is from the Lackawanna 4/12/1873. 7:20 PM "Sighted land all along Starboard bow + abeam, bering the coast of 'Formosa'." Is this basically saying: Formosa ats?

I was just looking over some of the XML files that I uploaded for Lackawanna 1873 March and I think that there's a problem with them. The Event info that I entered on the righthand side of the image doesn't appear to have been saved. This includes any coarse corrections and anchor locations that I e...

I placed my name in the Tracker for the Lackawanna 1873 April.

I completed and uploaded Lackawanna 1873 March. Also updated the tracking sheet.

I was able to upload the Lackawanna files. Thanks.

The Lackawanna Add File is grayed out in Google.

Is there a known issue with File Upload to Google?

Okay, I'll give Lackawanna March, 1873 a try and see how it goes. Could you reserve it for me, or is that something the transcribers normally do?

I was thinking along the lines of transcribing March of 1873, but I'm having a rough time reading the handwriting and I'm not confident that I'll get every thing. Is this to be expected or should I just stick with the typed entries for the time being?

I've completed and uploaded the USS Sacramento logs for September of 1923. At this point should I continue on with the Sacramento (October 1923) or move onto something else?

Log entry for the USS Sacramento made on 09/28/1923 mentions that a working party left the ship for employment in connection with a Yokohoma Disaster. It does not mention the nature of this disaster. I looked it up and there had been a 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Tokyo-Yokohama on 9/01/1923...

I've had Events pages that had entries, but nothing relevant (mainly administrative entries). I've been ignoring those pages, but should I still just add the date and upload them anyway?

Hello Randi, I've finished https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/54/98/29009854/content/hub/2016-05/USS_Sacramento_09011923_to_10311923/USS_Sacramento_09011923_to_10311923_010.jpg. I'll continue on through the next 10 image numbers (11 - 20). Is there a way for you to look at the ...

Okay, I'll just finish it up since I already started it.

There are several pages with event data on them, such as the Ship's log cover page and the Date of Reporting for Duty page. I'm not sure what the format for those should be. I entered the info as so: First Cell for duty reporting: <time>1923-09-01 - 1923-09-30</time><type>People</type><subtype>Repor...

I would like to try Sacramento 1923 September Image 1 - 10 Stream 1.
