1860/01: Extended track three days into the Atlantic as was suggested by Partagas. Inland winds over SE US derived from utilizing Kaplan and DeMaria's (1995) inland decay model. Surge values from Ludlum (1963) for Fort St. Philip, Louisiana (12 ft) and Mobile, Alabama (10 ft). Storm determined to have reached major hurricane status based upon destruction and surge values along U.S. Gulf coast.
1860/02: Extended the track to the 26th to take into account ship observations reported by Partagas and Diaz's (1995a). Otherwise, no major changes. Storm is determined to have reached hurricane status based upon reports from the ships "Sabine", "Mary Rusell" and "Zurich".

1860/04: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis. Inland winds over SE US reduced via methodology of Kaplan and DeMaria's (1995) inland decay model. Surge value of 10' from Ho (1989) for Mobile, Alabama. Storm determined to have reached hurricane status from destruction and surge experienced along the U.S. Gulf coast.
1860/05: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis.
1860/06: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis. Inland winds over SE US reduced via methodology of Kaplan and DeMaria's (1995) inland decay model. Storm determined to have reached hurricane status based upon destruction in Louisiana.
