It's always fascinating when logs contain details of scientific relevance.

On 10th July 1906, USRC Thetis perform a reconnaissance of Bogoslof Island(s) after a major geological event. The hand drawn sketch is awesome.

1905-06 logs will appear soon on naval-history.net

USRC Thetis logkeeper struggling with the Russian name of a seaman (should be Constantine Yakovlev - Яковлев in his language). After Jokoflef, Jokofleff and Jkofliff he gives up and write just Constantine 😄

Luckily I could link all these names, sometimes it can be tricky

Every batch of logs has its awesome moments

In June 1902 USRC Thetis help RGS Fellow Harry de Windt and his team to cross Bering Strait and continue their overland Paris-New York expedition

Edited logs of Thetis 1901-02 will be available soon on naval-history.net website

In order to celebrate my move on Bluesky i'd like to share the current state of our #OldWeather database of obscure placenames, which has reached the quite impressive amount of 36000 (and counting) unique names.
