Purpose of page
The MarineLives project is seeking to link and enhance HCA 13/71, not just to transcribe it.
Navigational issues, methods, and instrumentation are frequently mentioned in HCA 13/71.
All associates, facilitators, advisors and PhD Forum members are encouraged to contribute to this page from their knowledge of the material, and from their broader knowledge and interest in the topic.
- What processes and technologies are described?
- What attitudes are expressed regarding good navigational practice and navigational error?
Adding footnotes
- Go into edit mode
- Insert immediately after the sentence or phrase you wish to annotate the following macro:
<ref>This is the footnote text</ref>
- Replace 'This is the footnote text' with the footnote you wish to add, using the format: first name, surname, title, (place of publication, date of publication), page or folio number
- Save the page
Creating an electronic link within the footnote to a digital source
- Using the link icon in the top RH menu bar in your open window, highlight the footnote text which you wish to become the clickable link. This will place square brackets round the text, within the existing curved brackets
e.g. <ref>[Electronic link to a digital source]</ref>
- Insert the URL of the digital source IN FRONT of the existing text, but still within the square brackets, leaving one space between the end of the URL and the start of the footnote text
e.g. <ref>[http://XXXXX Electronic link to a digital source]</ref>
- Save the page, and the footnote text will now show 'Electronic link to a digital source' as a clickable link, which, when clicked, will go to 'http://XXXXX'
- FOOTNOTE TEMPLATE:
- HCA 13/71 f.XXXX Case: XXXX; Deposition: XXXX; Date: XXXX. Transcribed by XXXX[1]

- "there is noe doubt but that it often happens that shipps sayling from the Road of Salina meet with crosse and contrary winds so as they cannot hold the direct Course, but must and doe sayle this way and that way as they may to gett advantage of wind. And he saith that in turning to and fro the whole traverse may happen to be or contayne one hundred or more leagues more than the Course in a direct lyne when the wind is favourable, howbeit he saith the sayd traverse may and ought to be made as neere the direct line as may be and never to exceed six eight or ten leagues ˹or thereabouts from the latitude which is direct˺ to the intent that when the wind proves good the shipp may still be in her ready way homewards to take advantage of it, which if she sayle and hundred or more leagues from the direct Course she cannot doe"
