If you want the raw data, you'll have to go dig in the archives to find the log books and card decks.

This[1] paper goes into some detail on how the digital records were constructed from the log books, card decks and such. This[2] paper deals with an update of those digital records, including new digitization efforts. You can download the raw digital data from ICOADS here[3].

Petabytes of it around. Here's a small sunset: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/

Would you like more, or do you plan on analyzing the first few petabytes first?
