This page has been created to provide a forum for those working in the field of marine data rescue to highlight to the Community newly identified sources of data and to discuss how they might be used to fill existing temporal or geographical gaps in the record or where helpful; enhance existing records (e.g. sub daily data rather than daily).
Please add any findings or thoughts in the comments below. Where relevant, please add URL's and give a quick summary of the time period, geographical region(s) covered and types of observations the source contains.

18th Century data
A digital version of the logbook kept by William Wales on board HMS Resolution during the passage to the South Seas under the command of Captain James Cook is now available on line. The log has been digitized by the JISC-supported project, ‘Navigating Eighteenth Century Science and Technology: the Board of Longitude’.
