Welcome to the log book of the Lucretia 1882 - 1883


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

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
2. Transcribing: managing your recording workbook

Dates are in the format YYYYMMDD. Links to log book pages are shown in blue

Notes

• The ship is working on nautical time (i.e. starts at noon rather than midnight) unless stated otherwise in the logbook
• The crew are noted on the page prior to 18821215
• * Section A will be the last to be transcribed in order to allow for ice details to be collected as soon as possible
• ** The page numbering has two insertions. The database page numbering sequence is:
  • https://archive.org/details/lucretiaste ... r/page/112
  • https://archive.org/details/lucretiaste ... /page/n128
  • https://archive.org/details/lucretiaste ... /page/n129
  • https://archive.org/details/lucretiaste ... r/page/113
    The writing over these pages is heavy but poor. The words can be made out despite what appears to be water damage from, perhaps, rain.

Thank you for your help

I will have a look at section C

[AvastMH]

Lucretia_1882_ODHS216_C_C is FINISHED.
When I closed it and re opened it is came up as a Recovered version (Again >:( )

Let me know how it turned out.

I may have to use Libre instead of XL.
My HDD is a SSD and is only 6 months old.

[JulianBok]

I'm willing to do B

[AvastMH]

Hello JulianBok!
You're very welcome to do section B. It's quite exciting stuff. Not all logs get to enjoy a mutiny

Do you like working with Excel, LibreCalc, or Googlesheets please? I can then send you a link to the workbook and some start off information by Personal Message (PM). Do you have any particular interest in this ship at all I wonder?

[JulianBok]

I think google sheets would be best. It thought the ship looked cool and figured it would be fun

[AvastMH]

Hi JulianBok My apologies - I didn't spot this message - I'll get that work book to you tomorrow. I'm glad that it looks like a cool log. Things certainly turn chilly on that ship
Best wishes,
Joan

JulianBok I've sent you a personal message with the links to the transcription workbook, and with a few notes. Please do ask about anything that I can help with
