Historical underway surface temperature data collected aboard the ship Skelton Castle on a voyage from England to India, 28 February 1800 to 3 June 1800 (NCEI Accession 0095925)

Description

Underway surface air temperature and sea water temperature were collected aboard the Skelton Castle while in route from England to Bombay India as part of the East India Company during the dates 28 February 1800 to 3 June 1800. The data were prepared by one Mr. R. Perrins on behalf of Sir Anthony Carlisle as part of a study "to determine whether fishes possess any other temperature than that of the water in which they live." A table containing the data was found in Nicholson's "Journal of Natural Philosophy", published in 1804.
