2000 LOGSHEET INSTRUCTIONS

Upon signing their contracts, all subcontractors received a copy of the Log sheet Instructions for 2000 from Mel Fisher Center, Incorporated. A copy of that document is included in this section. It contains instructions for the proper completion of log sheets including position location and the recording of all salvage activities as well as the handling, tagging, and care of recovered artifacts. The document was produced at the expense and time of Mel Fisher Center, Inc.. All subcontractors who joined the company were given a copy of these instructions, and staff members were available to explain the procedures and answer any questions.

There appeared to be no problems this season with regard to the log sheets.

REMINDERS:

REFER TO THESE NOTES THROUGHOUT THE SEASON TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY.

USE A HARD POINT PEN WITH INDELIBLE INK (BLUE OR BLACK) WHEN FILLING IN LOGSHEETS. YOUR COPY IS THE BOTTOM COPY SO PRINT HARD.

IF YOU ARE NOT OUT TO SEA FOR THE DAY, A LOGSHEET MUST BE COMPLETELY FILLED IN WITH A NOTE IN THE LOWER SECTION STATING ‘NO WORK THIS DAY’. IF YOU ARE NOT OUT TO SEA FOR TWO OR MORE CONSECUTIVE DAYS, YOU MAY USE ONE LOGSHEET TO STATE THIS UP TO THE END OF THE CALENDAR MONTH. START A NEW LOGSHEET FOR THE FOLLOWING MONTH.
