Welcome to the Shipyard of the Grampus for her voyage during 1891 - all of the log sections have been completed. Many thanks to our volunteers for their work.
There are many pages of logs on numerous ships still waiting to be transcribed. You can check for work using
this link to the list of ships featuring in this phase of the project.


Welcome to the log book of the Grampus 1891

18910416 18910523 Probably Arctic waters 'age': a curious spelling of 'edge'


Notes
  • This is a very short logbook
  • It does contain temperatures
  • There are reports of ice as she works close to the ice 'age': a curious spelling of 'edge'
  • Although there are no positions given we may be able to cross match this ship with other ships that report seeing her

Thank you for your help :D
