Original logbook of the Albatross cable survey covering Hyd number 2990-3032 and no. 337 to 386 survey, recorded 4 to 14 December 1891. Some dredge numbers are included: 3473A-3776. Data recorded include survey and hydro 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.
