Location and times of sightings taken from Ship Deck Logs (mainly US and Royal Navy), contemporary diaries, letters, new papers, and journal articles. The times given in the sources are local time, we assumed that the sun is at greatest elevation at local noon and we converted the local times to UTC.  Not all end times are given so the null value is  "0001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", some observations start at dusk or end at dawn for those cases the dawn/dusk time is defined by the terminator crossing at the observation location, no twilight correction was made. The latitudes and longitudes are in Geographic coordinates. See reference for greater detail. Note: the local start/stop time are given as integer month/integer day of month integer hour: integer minutes. A '?' in the stop_time_local means the stop time could not be identified in the historical record. #Reference: Green, J. L., & Boardsen, S. (2006).
