Plenty to choose from here.
The (mostly) transcribed logs of USCGC Haida, 1922-1946, are now online and available to edit.
With the exception of the single year of 1922, the logs have been split into two-year volumes.
However, the logs for 1942 and 1944 are yet to be transcribed. If you like transcribing/editing from scratch, these are for you! :anchor:

A sizeable addition has been made to NHN: the transcribed logs of USS Thetis 1884-1897 and USRC Thetis 1899-1908 are now available to edit.

The logs have been split into two-year volumes, with the exception of those from 1884 and 1897.
USS Thetis' only mission in 1884 was the search for the Greely Arctic Expedition, after which she went out of commission for a couple of years.
The logs for 1897 cover the seven months before Thetis again went out of commission and was subsequently transferred to the US Revenue Cutter Service in 1899.
Thetis was also out of commission between June 1905 and June 1906, making 1905-1906 another short volume.

There is plenty (a lot) of events-transcribing to be added to the Revenue Cutter Service logs, so if you like transcribing/editing from scratch, take a look.
