Lackawanna (1873): links, questions, comments, coordination, ...

[BillNoise]

I have another one on the same log image. It's the very last entry on the Events page (8 PM to Midnight). It looks like it might be saying "sighted cape 'Seivo Light'", but I can't find anything like that anywhere. Any idea what it could be?

It's Japan. There are many variants for many places. It's Siwo on the log. Just for your appreciation, our database has all these variants:

Code: Select all

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Country             | Location                           | Lat    | Long    | Subdivision                   |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan               , Shiono Misaki Lighthouse           ,  33.438,  135.754, Wakayama
                     -> Shiwo Misaki Lighthouse; Simi Misaki Light; Simo Misaki Lighthouse
                     -> Sino Misaki Lighthouse; Siwo Misaki Light

If you're interested, and there's no need to do this, but you can search our Place Name database here. If you select the Near option and enter the Lat/Long and pick a radius of 2 miles, you can see how it works. You get a map display with nearby stations plotted and listed. It's very cool, and it was developed by Matteo!

Thank you! I'll get to it as soon as I finish processing Lackawanna 1863.

Lackawanna June part 1 needs to be completed. I was thinking BillNoise would get to that after finishing May. Did you need me to tackle it?

He has moved on to 1874, so I would say go ahead.

I already did it yesterday. I didn't bother filling in the tracker though.
