HMS CHALLENGER JOURNAL
HMS Challenger Journal
Day 1 – December 23, 1872
Hello, journal! It is our first official day of this adventure I am about to take on the HMS Challenger. The weather isn’t to dandy today in England where we are leaving from, it’s a little rainy and cold, the worst mixture. But! We have to get a move on, I’m extremely excited to embark on this journey and I am honored to be a part of this history. I’m most excited and feel a sort of curiosity because we have such an abundant amount of useful technology. It’s beautiful! We have microscope, which is used to look extremely close into thing we find on the bottom of the ocean which is picked up by something called the bottom sampler. The bottom sampler is like a giant net that goes along the ocean floor picking up particles and specimens. Things like shells and small sea animals are dragged into the net.
Day 2 – May1, 1873
Right now, I and my mates are in the Nova Scotia Gulf Stream. And lucky us, we have the whole day off. We have been working exceptionally hard and diligently for months and I do believe this is well due ha-ha! I am going to spend my day off laughing and talking to my ship mates. We will probably go to the bay on the port and catch a brewie. Maybe some beautiful ladies will be there that we can get to talking with. We are ALL in dire need of that, especially since me and my wife’s divorce. Speaking of my family, I think after the bar with the guys I might go ahead and write a letter. And then after that I’m going to sit on the very edge of the ship and watch the sun set because there are not too many days that pass that are as beautiful as today. Then catch a good nights rest because we don’t too many of those around here!
Day 3 – September 9, 1873
I should really write in my journal more often. But anyways, I believe we are on the way to Brazil or somewhere in South America. The weather today is normal, very still and the clouds are out and it’s partially sunny. But today is not a
