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. |

She held the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing for 22 years from 1907. At the outbreak of war both Mauretania and Lusitania were requested for war service - the government had subsidised their building in return for a promise that they would be available to the navy in case of war - but they were too big and expensive to run to be used and didn't serve at that stage. But of course there were fewer transatlantic passengers, and so Mauretania was laid up in Liverpool, while Lusitania continued to cross the Atlantic. On 7th May 1915, off the Southern coast of Ireland, on a voyage from New York to Liverpool, she met a German u-boat, was hit by a torpedo, and sank in 18 minutes, with the loss of 1195 lives. Among them were 123 Americans, and this loss was one factor in bringing America into the war. Mauretania was then requisitioned as a troopship, and sent to support the campaign in Gallipoli - and I think this must be the point at which these firemen are being sent to her. My speculation is that they were superstitious enough not to want to serve on a sister ship to one which had just been sunk, and so had to be escorted there. Mauretania survived the war, serving as troopship and hospital ship, and then again as troopship to Canada and the USA.) 11.10pm: Escort returned on board 4 on sick list 4caf83cccadfd34197002f63: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM53-33654/ADM53-33654-023_1.jpg) 21 May 1915 Birkenhead Lat 53.4, Long -3.0 9.30am: Hands employed cleaning & oiling ships side & preparing for sea 11.15am: Tested steering, main engines & all telegraphs 12.45pm: Tugs made fast 1.12pm: Cast off from quay 1.15pm: Received orders from the Admiralty to remain in dock 1.38pm: Fast alongside quay & cast off tugs 1.43pm: finished with engines 2.45pm: Transferred 15 fireman to HMS Cedric 3 on sick list 4caf83cccadfd34197002f64: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM53-33654/ADM53-33654-024_0.jpg) 22 May 1915 Birkenhead Lat 53.4, Long -3.0 2 on sick list 4caf83cccadfd34197002f65: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM53-33654/ADM53-33654-024_1.jpg) 23 May 1915 Birkenhead Lat 53.4, Long -3.0 9.30am: Divisons.

Many thanks to thursdaynext for this: The
term is not indexed in my Navy Records Society publication
unfortunately. I would guess if August 1916 is the first time
you have come across the term it probably came in not long before.
In the chapter covering June-August 1916 ("Tightening the
Blockade") the introduction mentions "The institution of
'Navicerts', documents detailing cargoes provided at ports of origin
after inspection by British officials, was the decisive moment by
which the neutrals were enlisted by Britain to administer the
blockade ... All this is clearly a consequence of Jutland, with the
renewed confidence it imparted to the Royal Navy and to the British
government." 9.25pm: Boarded Norwegian Ketch Little Emma Fishing Signed Guarantee.
