MacNeill, Ben Dixon

Abstract:

MacNeill recounts the beginning of weather forecasting from Cape Hatteras when George Onslow, a civilian employee of the Signal Corp of the U.S. Army, arrived in 1883. He was the first man to sign his name to an official weather report dispatched from Hatteras Island on August 15, 1883. MacNeill explains why the Hatteras area is one of the most difficult for weather forecasting.

Abstract:

The Sea Chest staff continued the Weather Station’s briny borne adventures in these entries, chronicled between March-June 1876. Wedged between the ordinary reports of barometric pressure was the extraordinary three week disappearance of Private Hanes. To illustrate the difference between charting the weather during the 19th century and current methods, included were pictures of modern weather forecasting equipment.
