Lackawanna (1883): links, questions, comments, coordination, ...

Post by Randi »





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 Lackawanna: general for some general background and discussion.
See Lackawanna: examples for a quick introduction to transcribing or a refresher.

See Transcribing Guide to learn how to transcribe the data.
Post in Ask Questions Here or this topic if you have questions.

Possible evidence of a shipwreck, had a quick look around and couldn't find any info

Callao seems to have had its problems...

Shenandoah (1885):

8AM to Meridian:
By order of Captain placed in confinement on bread and water for five days J.H. ODonnell (app.) and Chas. Bouren (I.C.F.) for insolence, demanding liberty knowing the ship is in an infected port.

Must have been maddening for the crew. They have been in port at Callao for about six weeks with no liberty.
