1850-01-04T08:00: TEN P.L.V. VERSTOPTE LUCHT, AANNEMENDE WIND VAN HET NOTO MET EENE AANSCHIETENDE ZEE. E.WACHT STORMWEER. H.W. VLIEGEND WEER EN VERSCHRIKLIJK HOOGLOPENDE ZEE. VERLOREN DE SLOEP EN DE FOK, DRAAIDEN ONDER DE WIND VOOR HET GEREEFDE BARKZEIL. D.W. WAAIDE HET EEN ORKAAN. DE ZEE LIEP VERSCHRIKKELIJK HOOG, DOCH WERD DOOR DE KRACHT DER WIND GEDRUKT. HET SCHIP LAG ONDER HET WATER GESMOORD. LIJBOORD WAS NIET MEER TE ZIEN. VASTGEMAAKTE ZEILEN WAAIDE AAN DE RAAS AAN FLARDEN. DE GROOTE MAST DREIGDE OVER BOORD TE STORTEN. SNERPENDE REGEN EN HAGEL BELETTEN ONS OP TE ZIEN OF SCHUURDE HET VEL VAN HET GEZICHT. TEGEN ACHT UUR RESOLVEERDEN OM DE STENGEN EN DE RAAS OVER BOORD TE KAPPEN, DAAR ZEE EN WIND NOG STEEDS IN WOEDE TOENAMEN EN DE KWIK DER BAROMETER NOCH GESTADIG BLEEF DALEN. DEZE MOEIJELIJKE OPERATIE GELUKTE TE HALF NEGEN. IN DE V.M.W. WAREN GROOT- EN VOORSTENGEN RAAS, BRAMSTENGEN EN RAAS OVERBOORD EN VRIJ VAN HET SCHIP. HET SCHIP ONDERVOND MERKELIJKE VERLIGTING ZOO DAT VAN TIJD TOT TIJD DE LIJRELING WEER ZICHTBAAR WERD. VERSCHANSING WAS GEHEEL WEG EN DE ZEE ROLDE EN SPOELDE OVER HET SCHIP ALS OVER EENE KLIP. DE WIND VARIEERDE TUSSCHEN NNO EN NW MET AANHOUDENDE SCHERPE HAGEL. HET WAS ONMOGELIJK OP TE ZIEN OF ELKANDER TE VERSTAAN. BIJ DE LIJPOMP WAS NIET MOGELIJK TE GERAKEN. POMPTEN GESTADIG MET DE LOEFPOMP DIE SOMTIJDS LENS LEEK TE SLAAN. BAROMETER DALENDE.

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. | ||

| 14 | Declination | Decl | deg | It is generally accepted by the CLIWOC team that the wind directions, reported by the ships officers, were relative to the magnetic North direction. Navigators were well aware of the difference between the true and magnetic north direction, but the compasses (we assumed that the bearing-compasses were mostly used for determining the wind direction) were not always adjusted. Therefore the wind direction has to be corrected. The magnetic declination (or variation, as it is known on board ships) is given for the whole CLIWOC period (1750-1850) for every 5x5 degree square. The number was added to the wind direction to get the true wind direction. | ||
