I have a copy of a ships log during the Civil War. In a daily entry while on patrol off the N.C./S.C coast area they wrote, "made the following numbers 4950, 8684, 1871, 1158, 7400, 4878, 7262, 8739, 8005, 8705, 8531, 8684, 5025, 1641, 5679, 2003, 1641, 6478......"

I am researching this ships's path before it rescued the crew from a vessel that eventually sunk. I was hoping they were some kind of positional numbers.

Any help deciphering the numbers would be great!! They are not lat/lon numbers. Thanks.
