On the weather page, please enter: date, locations, distances, courses, and all the weather data in the columns outlined in red in the spreadsheet.
It is not necessary to record Sea Conditions or Swells from.
However, ice mentioned in the weather grid should be transcribed using the magenta Sea columns.

On the events page please enter: ice, location information, and sailing information.
Aurorae and volcanic activity should also be reported.
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.
(If one transcriber does events and weather and they are in the same image, the date is only entered once.)

"10:45 received radiogram through Chief of Naval Operations stating that the Italian dirigible "Italia" is reported as missing in an Artic storm and requesting that every effort be made to receive radio messages from her. Began a continuous radio watch on board this vessel on a wave length of thirty three meters. The commanding officer called upon the Commander, Bering Sea Patrol Force, officially."

From Wikipedia

The position of the crash was close to 81 14′N 28 14′E, approximately 120 km (75 mi) northeast of Nordaustlandet, Svalbard.

A little too far for Northland.

"8:00 Sent medical officer to meet S.S. Victoria on her radio request of 15th instant. Found 8 questionable cases of smallpox. Vessel quarantined and the Surgeon General U.S.P.H.S. notified by radio. Medical officer commenced administering smallpox vaccine to all passengers and crew."

"9:40 Commanding officer performed a marriage ceremony, acting as U.S. Commissioner, between MISS AHKISALOOK, bride and MR. GROUSE AKADRIGIK, bridegroom, both natives of Wainwright, Alaska."

No description of what the bride wore or any details of festivity.

On her way back to Nome from Port Clarence, the Northland stopped and spoke to the RCMP schooner St. Roch. Later, St Roch sent a message to Northland from the schooner Morrisey.

The St. Roch is a very famous ship in Canada, and this must have been her first voyage because she was built in North Vancouver in 1928.
