Please mention any names of ships seen, or met, or gamed with. It is possible that a nearby ship may have a latitude and longitude for that small area of sea, but that is missing from this ship's log. Equally this ship might provide the position of those other ships.

Not all logs provide a crew list. You might find names in the log to post here.

Marion, a sloop‑of‑war of the fourth rate, was launched at the Boston Navy Yard 24 April 1839.
In 1885, she was ordered to the Pacific, where she was employed on the Asiatic station until 1890. She then returned to the United States, served briefly in the Bering Sea on duty connected with the seal fisheries, and, in late 1891, resumed operations with the Asiatic Squadron.
She was sold out of the navy on 24th July 1907.
