Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of the ships' logs of various vessels designated for hydrographic operations under the Marine Branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries (1905-1910, 1922-1936), the Department of Naval Services (1910-1922), the Department of Mines and Resources (1936-1948), the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys (1949-1966) and the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (1966-1967). The logs contain a diurnal record of activities and observations aboard these vessels. The earlier logs provide succinct four to eight line descriptions of weather conditions and ship maintenance. The information in the later logs, for the 1950's and 1960's, pertains to weather, ship maintenance activities, the day's itinerary, the vessels' compass course, periodic positions expressed in longitude and latitude, swell and wind conditions, barometric pressure, atmospheric temperature, and visibility. Few details of actual hydrographic work are recorded.
