Meta-Data
1877/01:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993).
The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm until its dissipation below tropical storm intensity).

1877/02:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over SE United States after final landfall in Florida.  Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon the description of winds and  effects along the Gulf coast.  The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm to its peak as a hurricane until its dissipation below tropical storm intensity).

1877/03:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Storm is determined to have reached hurricane force based upon reports from the ship "Harlcy John" and from wind reports at St. Paul Island, Canada.

1877/04:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the eastern United States.  Storm surge is reported as 12' from St. Marks, Florida.  Storm is determined to have reached major hurricane intensity based upon storm surge in St. Marks as well as reports from the ship "Sarah Hall".

1877/05:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993).

1877/06:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).

1877/07:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993).

1877/08:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm until its dissipation as an extratropical storm).
