Field notes
The page moves from the ship’s construction and working life into a reconstruction of the November 9–10 voyage. Its diagrams keep a consistent scale of three pixels per foot, and a route display follows the Fitzgerald and the Anderson against reconstructed wind, with timestamps and color-coded tracks. The narrative also traces three load-line increases and gives details about captain Ernest McSorley and the crew.
