Log Pages for Transcribing - Apply here!

Post by AvastMH »

Welcome to the log book of the William Baylies The log entries cover the voyage from the 26th October 1894 to the 19th June 1895 from San Francisco and mastered by John MacInnis.

If you would like to work on a section of the log please
  • leave a note in the next available reply section of this board below
  • remember to say which section you would like to work on
  • a link to the workbook, for your transcriptions, will be provided to you in this board
  • let us know if you would rather work in Excel, LibreCalc, or Google Sheets
Each section of the log must be transcribed by three different transcribers

Where to start once I have my log section and workbook?
Please ensure that you read these information pages before transcribing
1) Transcribing: capturing the log details, and information resources
2) Transcribing: managing your recording workbook

Dates are in the format YYYYMMDD. Links to log book pages are shown in blue. Completed sections are shown in bold.

*Please be aware. There is a temporary fault on the Archive website which might send you to the previous day's log page.


The log ends abruptly at this point. The twin logbook indicates that the ships are able to move in the ice and that the ice is melting rapidly:


Thank you for your help :)

Hello Jkizzie!

Super - thank you for your help! The Transcrib-a-thon is most welcome. I hope that you will enjoy being here. :)

I've put you all in as PPL/NBWM initially. I'll drop you a personal note with more information. Will you be happy to be Captain on this voyage please? :)
