| Title | Letter from Karl von Scherzer, Vienna to Edward Sabine |
| Date | 20 January 1863 |
| Description | Refers to his expedition and throwing ‘well corked empty bottles’ over board in order to determine ‘an estimate of the average strength and direction of the current’. Scherzer asks Sabine if any of the bottles they threw have been found by an ‘office in London’, as they are now preparing to publish their observations ‘regarding the current in the different oceans’ they navigated. Refers to the [Novara] expedition. |
