Abstract

Original logbook of the Albatross covering station numbers Dr 3323 to 3347, Hyd 2529 to 2606, recorded 19 August to 25 September 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, urchins, squid, and mollusks). Localities are not listed in this volume, but the albatross was known to be in waters near Alaska until mid-September when she returned to the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California (based on the history of the ship's activities).
