Original logbook of the Albatross covering station numbers Dr 3079 to 3093, Hyd 1964 to 2049, recorded 1 to 11 September 1889. 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). Correction table and table of abbreviations is included in the front of the book. Localities are not listed in this volume, but the albatross was known to be off the coast of the Pacific Northwest at this time (based on the history of the ship's activities).
