Parameter(s):

#	Name	Short Name	Unit	Comment
1	DATE/TIME	Date/Time		Geocode
2	Wind direction	dd	deg	Wind direction (from which the wind is blowing) in whole degrees from: 1-360; 361 = calm, 362 = variable. It is not clear from many logbook entries whether the wind direction has been corrected for the magnetic variation (or declination). To avoid any misunderstanding, all winds from reports that included a valid position in the period 1750-1854 were corrected. All other wind directions are given without being corrected.
3	Wind speed	ff	m/s	calculated from the descriptive terms of wind force given in the observations
4	Image number/name	Image no/name		Identification Number of the original image
5	Landmark	Landmark		Name of first landmark
6	Bearing	Bearing		Bearing of the first landmark
7	Distance to landmark	Distance	arbitrary units	Distance to the first landmark
8	-	-		1 If position is considered to be coastal (in port or near coastal disturbances)
9	Watch	Watch		Name of the period of 4 hours which is known as a watch or duty on board ships
10	Glasses	Glasses		Number of glasses within a watch; one watch equals 8 glasses
11	Wind direction description	Wind dir descr		All reported wind directions on this day. The wind direction is the direction that points to where the wind comes from.
12	Wind force description	Wind force descr		All reported wind forces on this day
