It'll be nice to have this ship finished

[AJP]

I see file details for the requested months November & December 1923 now appear on the tracker sheet for this ship. However, October's tab is blank.

[Randi]

I have no idea what happened, but I will fix it right now.

Fixed.

[AJP]

Thanks for the October file details Randi. I am having a problem correctly bulk downloading the related images. When I entered the Image Numbers for December 1923 (70 - 146) in the Bulk Download dialog box, the system downloaded images from January 1923. I haven't tried October or November suspecting I'll get similar results.

The Villalobos 1916 files ran consequetivey through that year. Sacramento 1923 doesn't seem to follow that convention.

Help please.

[Randi]

Michael is the expert, but I'll give it a try.

It works for me.

However, you need to set the index (cell A1) to 5 for 1923 Sep-Oct and to 6 for 1923 Nov-Dec.
See the URL List tab.

Looking at the table in the first post of this topic, the system here seems to be two months per 'logbook'.

[AJP]

Perfect. Thanks for the guidance.

I'll get to it as soon as I finish processing Tuscarora 1870.

The voyage for 1923 has been completed. There were almost as many transcribers for this ship as there were crew:

• ahecker
• espross
• ellenbaum
• EShane
• BillNoise
• AJP

The transcribing crew did a much better job than the typists, who typed up the original logs. Just to make it confusing, there were a few missing days and a missing month! Not only that, but the typed pages were often out of order.

You can see a plot of the voyage here and, for more detail, you can download the KML file and view it with Google Earth. There were a few people mentioned here.
