Welcome on board the Orca, Steam Bark of San Francisco, on voyage from the 30th March 1897 to 18th September 1897, mastered by Albert C. Sherman.

If you would like to work on a section of the log please

• leave a note in the next available reply section of this board below
• remember to say which section you would like to work on
• a link to the workbook, for your transcriptions, will be provided to you by personal message
• let us know if you would rather work in Excel, LibreCalc, or Google Sheets
• each section of the log must be transcribed by three different transcribers (Captain/Stream A, First Mate/Stream B, and Boatsteerer/Stream C
  )

Where to start once I have my log section and workbook?
Please ensure that you read these information pages before transcribing

1. Transcribing: capturing the log details, and information resources
