Great work. I have four days to transcribe for June 1943, then I'll start working on your 1927 voyage.

29 May, 1927

94 years ago, today.

0745: Increased speed to reach St. Paul Island on proper tide, to make in landing in ice at most opportune time

0937: Made ice surrounding St. Paul Island, working through leads.

Ice extent today. X marks the approximate position of St. Paul Island. It looks to me like the ice edge today is just north of Saint Lawrence Island, 63.25N. St. Paul Island is at 57.13N. The difference in Latitude is 6.12 degrees or about 370 nautical miles.

The voyage for 1927 has been done, thanks to the work by the ever conscientious Hanibal94!

You can see the plot of the voyage here or, for more detail, you can download the KML file and view it with Google Earth.
