Historic bird observations by R. Paefsler on 5 voyages from Europe to Pacific Ocean from 1910 to 1913 digitised from cited publications (see below). The records are principality 'presence' only with only a few with observed counts. The recorded scientific names were matched to current names where possible using the Biodiversity Heritage Library, web searches and noting some names were slightly misspelt. There are a few names that could not be matched and therefore are not linked via scientificnameId to WoRMS. Place names typically ports or major towns were georeferenced and recorded to within 2000 metres of the likely location. Original publications used are Paefsler, R. Beiträge zur Verbreitung der Seevögel. J. Ornithol 62, 272–278 (1914). https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02096342 and Paefsler, R. Beiträge zur Verbreitung der Seevögel. J. Ornithol 61, 41–51 (1913). https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02250435 Digtised data (as CSV) is available at https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/trawler/download.cfm?file_id=5539
