Abstract

Original logbook of the Albatross covering station numbers Dr 3263 to 3302, Hyd 2386 to 2445, recorded 24 June to 21 July 1890. Data recorded include station number (no.), date, machine, turns, correction, depth, shot or lead, bottom, bottom temperature, number of thermometer, correction, corrected temperature, air temperature, surface temperature, drift, trawl or dredge, sounding wire readings, dredge rope readings, serial temperatures, and general remarks. Some notes on specimens caught are included (type and quantities of fish or other marine life such as crustaceans, star fish, and sponges). Localities are not listed in this volume, but the albatross was known to be between San Francisco to the Bering Sea region at this time (based on the history of the ship's activities). A note from July 19th 1890 on the back end papers notes the Albatross is at Bristol Bay.
