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
