On September 3rd, she saw the HMS Shearwater - one of the ships we did back in Phase 1!

And again on September 6th - she was in Dutch Harbor when the Manning returned there from her latest round of mail delivery.

September done and uploaded. Some time in port, some time at sea.

On October 11th, she came across a stranded schooner by Amak Island, but couldn't get very close because of rough seas and bad weather:

I peeked ahead, and it appears they left for Dutch Harbor two days later without investigating any further.

"What is known for sure is the story of how Ode made it to the end. As duty required of the watchman, he kept a log book with daily entries beginning October 4, 1902, with the departure of his crewmates and Burgeson."
Glen Island is close to Amak Island and mentioned on your log page!

Oh wow... that's a quite a story. Thanks for digging it up, Randi.
I will keep an eye out for any more mention of this in the logs. Real pity about Seaman Ode

Re: Manning (1902) -- Discussion: Questions, Comments and Coordination
Haven't found anything else so far, but I have two other interesting things:
First, the Manning had such rough winds (up to 10!) and sea while returning to Dutch Harbor that one poor guy fell out of his hammock and broke his collar bone!

Second, this page mentions a "Barobaro" on shore at 14:40. Any idea what that is?

Traditional Aleut winter house

They may have used it as an anchor bearing?

Re: Manning (1902) -- Discussion: Questions, Comments and Coordination
Yes, apparently they did. Thanks Randi.
I would suggest adding this to the OWpedia.

Re: Manning (1902) -- Discussion: Questions, Comments and Coordination
Other ships have, too. I can't remember which ones, or where, but I think they were on the east side of St. Paul or St. George Islands.

Yes, this is the east side of St. George.

Are you having an American, German or Swedish Thanksgiving? Or all three?!
Re: Manning (1902) -- Discussion: Questions, Comments and Coordination
None of the above, TBH - we did have chicken cutlets, but that's as fancy as it got.
We've never really celebrated Thanksgiving, living outside of the US and all.

Re: Manning (1902) -- Discussion: Questions, Comments and Coordination
And that's November done and uploaded. She went back to Washington, apparently via the outside route as there were barely any locations or course changes.
With this year complete, I shall move on to 1903.
One last thing: The guy with a broken collarbone went to the hospital in Dutch Harbor, and returned to the ship on Nov 3rd:
