I am working hard to find weather records from logbooks for the National Science Challenge, Deep South project.
I am looking for: Lighthouses in New Zealand, Supply ships to Antarctica from the 1950s onward, catch books from fishery and whaling and sealing logbooks from the 1850s on, and Coast-watch logbooks. However, it seems nothing is around from these sort of sources here in New Zealand. I already started the search in archives and museums here in NZ, but nothing did show up so far.
If someone reads this and has an idea where I could look further, please, let me know and contact me under: ursula.rack@canterbury.ac.nz
