Probably this is the source for that info in the database about the Gazelle, 1870:
https://www.worldcat.org/title/logbook-of-the-ship-gazelle-1870-oct-26-1872-nov-28/oclc/71254679&referer=brief_results I can't see where the logbook itself is held, but it must still exist. It seems that the whaling museum has a logbook database in an excel file (hope this link will work): https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=16&ved=2ahUKEwik0OSjx6TnAhWhna0KHcvrA3AQFjAPegQIAxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whalingmuseum.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FDocuments%2FLogbook%2520Database%2520Master_web.xls&usg=AOvVaw3aUTqkSiGAaEq18He9SVHv It comes up near the top of a google search on the terms ship seconet logbook 1855 I have to run, but hope this provides a lead. :) Linda On Monday, January 27, 2020 at 11:33:02 AM UTC-8, Bill Seidler wrote: > > Sorry but in my memory I co-mingled some whaling crew entries.
