The 1899 voyage has been completed. Another great job by Stuart. You can see a plot of the voyage here and, for more detail, you can download the KML file and view it with Google Earth. There was one person mentioned here.

This year had two voyages. One up the Inside Passage to Skagway and back, and the second to the Aleutian Islands. The first trip was notable for having 210 courses logged with 203 of them logged just as v. Determining the hourly positions was slow and very tedious. Thanks to Stuart who transcribed many of the locations passed by the ship. As a result we picked up 15 new locations, mostly in Alaska, with two in B.C. We have had so many ships in Alaskan and B. C. waters, that finding new places is becoming quite rare.

These are the weather statistics for this voyage:
