Original logbook of the Albatross covering station numbers Dr 2856 to 2858, Hyd 1383 to 1480, recorded 13 to 27 August 1888. 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.
