Thanks for sorting all that out. Really appreciate your assistance even if I don't quite follow everything your just did!

I'll just keep blindly transcribing as before and let you know if anything else doesn't line up. Onwards.

I placed my name in the Tracker for the Lackawanna 1873 April.

I was just looking over some of the XML files that I uploaded for Lackawanna 1873 March and I think that there's a problem with them. The Event info that I entered on the righthand side of the image doesn't appear to have been saved. This includes any coarse corrections and anchor locations that I entered and saved. If that's the case, and I'm reading the files correctly, I may have to go back and enter that info. Any ideas why that Event info didn't get saved when all the other info did? I had entered the info within the blue box on the right side of the image.

I'll take a look.

I will send you a PM so we don't clutter up this topic.

Please reserve July 1873 for me in the Transcription Tracker. I just uploaded the last of June. Thx.

I just want to confirm that I'm reading this correctly. This is from the Lackawanna 4/12/1873. 7:20 PM "Sighted land all along Starboard bow + abeam, bering the coast of 'Formosa'." Is this basically saying: Formosa ats?

I don't see any mention of Formosa on the page for April 12:

However, if I understand the situation correctly, you can indeed transcribe "Sighted land all along Starboard bow + abeam, bering the coast of 'Formosa'" as Formosa ats.

Sorry, it was page 198 (4/13/1873) at 7:20 AM.

July 1873 is complete. I have started on August 1873.

August 1873 complete. Reserve Sept 1873 for me. Just finished a short trip to Russian Tartary (Siberia) and now on to Japan. Lots of travel in 1873.

Done.

Just put your name in the rest of the September sheet of the Tracker

Will do. It's amazing they had enough hands to do all the work. A whole bunch of the crew seemed to be in solitary, in double irons, and on bread-water every day except Wed and Sunday after being court martially.

Yes, I know what you mean!
