    Navigation in 1849: Long Island to California
    From: Frank Reed
    Date: 2008 May 24, 04:52 -0400

    Since Jeremy mentioned he lives on Long Island, I thought it might be fun to
    mention one of the logbooks that's available on the Mystic Seaport web site.
    It's the logbook of the ship Sabina:
    http://www.mysticseaport.org/library/initiative/PageImage.cfm?BibID=33159
    
    It is a FASCINATING document of the Gold Rush era, and it's also filled with
    navigational information.
    
    I described this logbook on the list in detail back in July of 2005:

    There are quite a few old logbooks available on Mystic Seaport's web site.
    This is real treasure. These are genuine primary source documents in the
    history of navigation.
    
    By the way, just a reminder that there is now an impressive collection of
    old books available on Google Books including editions of Bowditch from the
    19th century. There's something new every time I search there...
