Carnegie Institution Department of Terrestrial Magnetism Ocean Magnetic Survey records, 1905-1946.
This collection contains the scientific records of the cruises of the "Galilee" and the "Carnegie". The collection consists of mainly logbooks and cahiers that chronicle the scientific activities of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism during the ocean magnetic surveys conducted from 1905-1929. The "Galilee" was chartered by the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism in 1905 and refitted to perform magnetic survey work. The "Carnegie" was built in 1908 and launched in 1909 specifically for the magnetic survey work started by the Galilee. These records are the data collected on the voyages of the "Galilee" and the "Carnegie" and the reductions of that data into a usable format.
The Ocean Magnetic Survey was a part of the World Magnetic Survey organized by Louis A. Bauer, first director of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. The Ocean Magnetic Survey consisted of the cruises of the "Galilee" (1905-1908) and the "Carnegie" (1909-1929) and the geophysical observations taken during those voyages.
