On the weather page, please enter: date, locations, distances (nautical miles and tenths), courses, and all the weather data in the columns outlined in red in the spreadsheet.
It is not necessary to record State of the Sea.
However, ice mentioned in the weather grid should be transcribed using the magenta Sea column.
On the events page please enter: ice, location information, and sailing information.
Aurorae, volcanic, and seismic activity should be reported in the forum.
The names of US Navy and Coast Guard ships met should be noted. This gives the science team a chance to compare weather readings. You can include all ships mentioned in a single entry without a time or any additional data.
Other events are optional.
One person can do both weather and events (Stream 1), but the system also allows one person to do the weather page (Stream 1) and a second person to do the events page (Stream 3).
Unlike in OW3, where three transcriptions were required for each page, we are doing only one transcription per page.
Every transcriber needs to enter the date.
The date is used to organize the pages.
See
Kearsarge: general for some general background and discussion.
See
Kearsarge: examples for a quick introduction to transcribing or a refresher.
See
Transcribing Guide to learn how to transcribe the data.

Feb done as well. Still at the Island of Mares (which is actually a peninsula!).
But in the coming month, we finally set sail! Huzzah!

In fact, it is/was the island of
a mare
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_Island wrote:In 1775, Spanish explorer Perez Ayala was the first European to land on what would become Mare Island -- he named it Isla de la Plana. This area was part of Rancho Suscol, deeded to General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo in 1844. It became a waypoint for early settlers. In 1835, whilst traversing the Carquinez Strait, a crude ferry transporting men and livestock capsized in a squall. Among the livestock feared lost in the wreckage was the prized white mare of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, the Mexican Commandante for Northern California. Several days later, General Vallejo's mare was found on the island, having swum ashore. Grateful for the fortunate turn of events, he renamed the island to Isla de la Yegua, Spanish for Mare Island, in her honor. In 1892, development of the Mare Island Golf Club began, making it the oldest golf course west of the Mississippi.

May done. She has made it to Yokohama.
I wonder what the ordinary crew thought of Japan? This was a time when most people never even left their place of birth, and here they are, thousands of miles from home, in a completely different culture.

It would be interesting to read any diaries from the crew, wouldn't it.

That would make a really good Zooniverse history/social project!
... Assuming any such diaries exist AND have survived the years, of course. I fear that probably isn't the case

Hopefully not - the Zooniverse does have the option for sequential classification, but it's up to the research teams to decide whether to use it or not.

June and July done. Still in Yokohama, doing whatever it is ships do in port (I don't read the Events pages when they're in port for so long).
