content: 0963B is a Station number for the United States Fish Commision, which is probably why this originally entered as US Bureau of Fisheries. It is believed that the B on the tag may have been left over from when the stations were originally tagged with a "B" for Blake or "BL" for Bluelight (both are vessels). There was even an incorrect reference written that said this was part of a series of numbers dedicated to the Speedwell research vessel. It actually refers to a station during a Fish Hawk expedition. The Fish Hawk was a new vessel in 1881 so there is the possibility that tags were leftover that may have already had the letter "B" on them. Station 963 is Fish Hawk collected in Buzzards Bay.
