Log Pages for Transcribing - Apply Here!

Post by arboggs »

Welcome to the log book of the Lucretia 1885-1887

(Steam bark) of San Francisco, mastered by Albert C. Sherman, on voyage from . Log kept by Francis Perry Rose

Please note: This logbook contains multiple voyages on multiple ships. It was fairly common for logkeepers to use a book for more than one journey if it was not filled the first time. However, this particular log is not written on a consecutive series of pages. Pay close attention to the pages and dates listed for transcribing.


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 by personal message
  • 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
