USRC Thetis 1906 logs are full of surprises. In August, after reaching Point Barrow, she met the Norwegian sloop Gjøa, led by Roald Amundsen and a crew of six, who had just managed to pass for the first time through the Northwest passage! #NavalHistory #OldWeather

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 #OldWeather #NavalHistory

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 #NavalHistory #OldWeather

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. Lists and maps are freely available in the files section of owtools.scienceontheweb.net
