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:

Where reasonable, missing positions (based on landmarks) and dates have been added.
Many reported ships' names are not legible or verifiable; these have been marked with [?], as have other dubious entries.
The daily latitudes/longitudes are direct conversions of the positions supplied in the log.

*Sub Lieutenant Bate, the armed guard and Pestallozzi did not reach Stornaway. On May 28, 1916, Pestallozzi was intercepted near Buenos Aires by HMS Glasgow. Four ratings from Patuca's armed guard were found on board.

Pestallozzi had been prevented from reaching Stornaway by NE gales and on March 23 she was intercepted by German submarine U28. Sub Lieutenant Bate and a leading seaman were made prisoner; the others remained on Pestallozzi while she continued her voyage to Santa Fe, where they were to be handed over to the German Consul.

Sub Lieutenant Bate was reported as a prisoner-of-war in May 1916.
