Zooniverse 4.2: Old Weather

This week I worked on Zooniverse's Old Weather Project, which actually was a lot more interesting than it sounded. I followed the HMS Acacia, which was a British Sloop from WWI as it traveled around the coast just outside the Straits of Gibraltar, and eventually proceeded through them. It really was interesting, decoding the genuine naval logs from the various days. What was even more interesting was the deviations on some of the logs from the regulations...even though it sometimes made my job harder. It was all in good fun though!
