Images for this year can be viewed on the National Archives site and they can be downloaded.
However, they cannot be viewed in the browser as they can for most of our ships.
Generally, weather data is not recorded when they are in port.
However, barometer readings are sometimes entered with the events.

On the weather page, please enter: date, locations, distances (nautical miles and tenths), courses, and all the weather data in the columns outlined in red in the spreadsheet.
It is not necessary to record State of the Sea.
However, ice mentioned in the weather grid should be transcribed using the magenta Sea column.
On the events page please enter: ice, location information, and sailing information.
Aurorae, volcanic, and seismic activity should be reported in the forum.
The names of US Navy and Coast Guard ships met should be noted. This gives the science team a chance to compare weather readings. You can include all ships mentioned in a single entry without a time or any additional data.
Other events are optional.
One person can do both weather and events (Stream 1), but the system also allows one person to do the weather page (Stream 1) and a second person to do the events page (Stream 3).
Unlike in OW3, where three transcriptions were required for each page, we are doing only one transcription per page.
Every transcriber needs to enter the date.
The date is used to organize the pages.
See Kearsarge: general for some general background and discussion.
See Kearsarge: examples for a quick introduction to transcribing or a refresher.
See Transcribing Guide to learn how to transcribe the data.

Five hours or so later, we got afloat and made it into the dry dock. We mustered at quarters at 0930: about 30 men AWOL and one deserter! Later on, a few men brought on board by the police, lots of men put in prison on shore, one man charged with very mutinous behaviour and etc etc. Shades of the Concord.
