Notes:
1884 June 2nd - civil time
1884 June 3rd - 'Seatime'
Enter Lat DR into the Remarks column as: [Lat Dr;degrees minutes Compass point] use a simple space between the degrees, minute and compass point just as you would in the primary worksheet. Bracket in square brackets. Enter a semicolon after 'Lat DR'
When approaching, near, in, just past, ice, note changes in direction. You do not need to note the knots.
Thank you for your help
