Notes: 1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated. 2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Groups of links refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank. Editor’s notes: HMS St George, the eighth ship of the Royal Navy to carry the name, served as flagship at the Cape and Western Africa Station from 1894 to 1898. On 27 August 1896, St George took part into the Anglo-Zanzibar war ‒ the shortest war ever recorded ‒ between the UK and the Zanzibar Sultanate. The conflict lasted between 38 and 45 minutes. After the death of the Sultan of Zanzibar on 25 August 1896, his nephew Khalid bin Barghash had proclaimed himself sultan and occupied the palace. The British Government preferred Hamud bin Muhammed as sultan and sent an ultimatum to Khalid bin Barghash to leave the palace. Khalid refused to leave, believing that the British would not attack. At 8.22am on 27 August, having received no further word from the palace, Rear Admiral Harry Rawson aboard his flagship, St George, hoisted the signal to prepare for action. At 9.00am HMSs Racoon, Thrush and Sparrow opened fire on the palace. The bombardment lasted about 38 minutes; St George was engaged by Khalid’s armed yacht HHS Glasgow, which was soon sunk with no casualties. In 1897 St George took part in the Benin expedition, a punitive action made in response to the ambush of a previous British-led party under Acting Consul General James Philips. In 1898-1899 she went into reserve at Portsmouth in the UK and from 1899-1902 she served with the Cruiser Squadron. She served at Chatham from 1902 to 1904 and at the South Atlantic Station in 1904. She was a Boys’ training ship with the 4th Cruiser Squadron at the America & West Indies Station from 1904 to 1906. Back in the UK, St George went into reserve at Devonport from 1906-1909 and, following her conversion to a depot ship, served at Chatham from 1909-1910 and for the 3rd Destroyer Squadron at the Nore from 1910-1912. In June 1910 she was damaged after grounding off Sheerness. She served with the 6th Destroyer Flotilla from 1912-1913 and then with the 9th Destroyer Flotilla from 1913-1914. During the early months of WW1 she served as part of the Humber Patrol (1914-1915) then as Depot Ship in the Mediterranean (1915-1917). She was converted to a Submarine Depot Ship in 1917, and served in this role in the Aegean Sea 1918-1919 with the 2nd Submarine Flotilla. She returned to the UK in July 1919, was paid off in 1920 and scrapped in June of that year.

[T124 agreement: During WW1 the Mercantile Marine Reserve (MMR) supplied officers and seamen for vessels employed on government service. “The crews of vessels commissioned as auxiliaries by the Admiralty were signed on under a T124 agreement, whereby they agreed to serve in any commissioned vessel, but retained aspects of their civilian pay and benefits… “The expectation was that the war would last only a few months and the first T124 agreements were limited to six months in a specified vessel. Also, there was an option of being released from T124 articles after three months service by giving one week notice… “It was not to be. Soon Mercantile Ratings started to apply for release after their three months service and demanded their release after six months… “The only solution was to re-draft the T124 agreement to require service for the period of war and service in any vessel and it became known as T124Z agreement… “Those refusing to re-sign on T124Z were allowed to continue on the T124 and remained on the same ship.” Terence Dawson Lilley, Operations of the Tenth Cruiser Squadron: A challenge for the Royal Navy and its reserves.
