Re: eclipse expedition in Vermont? 1929?

[brian whatcott <inet@INTELLISYS.NET>]

The interactive eclipse depictions at the following URL
may be helpful:
<http://eclipse.astroinfo.org/solar/activemaps_ns.html>

Scanning the dates given for US mainland visibility suggests these:
1 Nov 29 Annular eclipse offshore
28 April 30 Annular
31 Aug 32 Total

....from the three or four apparitions yearly.
