(1915) Once it happened and the ship sank, Morgan knew his visions were not false hallucinations caused by the flower.

The Strand puzzle was referring to the game Death Stranding. The letters in the puzzle were abbreviations for various commands within the game. We needed the default keyboard bindings for those commands. Going from left to right the commands are
Ri = Right = D Ca = Carry = E St = Stand = C CA = Cargo Menu = I Ma = Map = M Le = Left = A CO = Call Out = 5/L Cl = Climb = Space Bar Co = Compass = G Re = Reload = R Do = Down(Backwards) = S
When you follow the path from left to right using the keyboard bindings you get DECIMAL DEGREES which was a hint for the Trips puzzle. The password for the pastebin was decimaldegrees.
