    • Verne's diary of his voyages was acquired by the great Verne collector, Piero Gondolo della Riva, and was acquired by the Municipal Library of Amiens, Verne's adopted city. This Carnet de Voyages, consists of an exercise book bound in a dark cover. Just over 60 pages of closely written entries in pencil summarise all the sailings made in his yachts by Verne (MS 101440095, St Michel). This fragile document is in the process of being digitised and will eventually be consultable on-line.

    • Seemingly a creature of habit, Verne used the same hotel as on his 1859 visit to Glasgow. The Royal Hotel on the north side of George Square was a substantial building that survived until the 1960s when it was demolished to be replaced by an undistinguished office block.

    • David MacBrayne published an annual guide to his company's services entitled Summer Tours in Scotland, including very detailed timetables and descriptive guides. This is invaluable in reconstructing Verne's voyage from Glasgow to Oban and can be readily cross-referenced with his diary entries.

    • 'The Royal Route' was so named after the steamer route followed by Queen Victoria in 1847. The itinerary ran from Glasgow to Inverness via the Crinan and Caledonian Canals enabling the Queen to reach Balmoral.

    • For some inexplicable reason, in The Green Ray substitutes the PS Glengarry as the steamer from Crinan to Oban. The Glengarry existed in the MacBrayne fleet but sailed a diffierent route. Verne's diary states that he travelled aboard the Chevalier and the Oban Telegraph con.rms that this was the vessel that sailed the route on the 17 July.

    • The Caledonian Hotel was built in 1832 as a fine four-storey building. With the expansion of tourism the hotel was a victim of its own success. An additional storey was added, but this proved too great a strain on the foundations built on the unconsolidated raised beach. Various structural alterations were attempted and the hotel was converted to residential. ats but eventually demolition was inevitable and in the 1970s it was replaced by undistinguished commercial properties out of character with the architecture of the seafront. This demolition allowed the appropriation of the name by the present Caledonian Hotel, formerly the Station Hotel, the largest hotel on the Oban seafront.
