Re: US National Archives
More than 500 logbooks of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Ships (USC & GSS) are now available to view and download in the National Archives Catalog. The logbooks are found within the series Ships’ Records, 1846 – 1963, part of Record Group 23: Records of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, 1806 – 1981.
Information contained within these logbooks may be of interest to genealogists and historians, and should also serve as a rich source of historical weather data for climate scientists. A typical logbook contains daily entries of the ship’s position, the ship’s movements, weather conditions, and descriptions of the day’s surveying activities.
This logbook page shows hourly weather data recorded by USC&GSS Endeavor on June 12-13, 1888, at Hampton Roads, Virginia.
