Fleet Messenger, hired merchantman Owned by Royal Mail Line. Listed as mercantile fleet auxiliary, pendant no Y4.14. Built 1900, 5541grt. Armament: 2-12pdr. In commission 6.3.15-20.9.20. Renamed ICARUS 1918. Returned to civilian service 9.20. (British Warships 1914-1919) Note: According to the logbooks Trent paid off 24 January 1919 and was handed back to the Royal Mail Line. Prior to World War 1, RMS Trent’s main claim to fame was the mid-ocean rescue of the crew of the airship America in 1910. She also accompanied the towing from Britain to East Africa of the monitors Mersey and Severn, later used to destroy the German cruiser Koenigsberg in the Rufiji River. A full account of this epic can be found here. |

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:
Many of the links in this document come from the invaluable http://www.clydesite.co.uk, to whom I am extremely grateful. Their contributors, Stuart Cameron, Bruce Allen, John Ward-McQuaid, George Robinson and others are to be congratulated and thanked.
Unlike RN logbooks, these run for several months and each days information is recorded on two pages; courses, speeds and weather on the left (first) page and remarks on the right (second) page. Occasionally the first page also contains disciplinary remarks. When in harbour, they often put two days information onto one pair of pages. The noon position, always on the second line of each day, is in decimal notation. It is either the position recorded in the log for noon, or has been added by the editor because the vessel is at a known location. Other observations are in degrees and minutes, as recorded in the log.
Some useful abbreviations: BM, Bosun’s Mate. CT, Coal Trimmer. FM, Fireman. FMM, Fireman’s Messman. GS, General Servant. QM, Quarter Master. LH, Light House. KAR King’s African Rifles. MAR, Mafia African Rifles. MMR, Merchant Marine Reserve. ZAR, Zanzibar African Rifles.
Note on HMS Trent's Disciplinary Record: Trent's remarkably poor disciplinary record may stem from the fact that her crew of merchant seamen, presumably inherited from the RMS Coy, do not seem to have signed form T124, that would have placed them under the Naval Discipline Act. I think this is because in the log, after one mutinous bout, they were invited to sign it, but presumably could not be compelled. Soon afterwards they were all sent home and the lascar crew engaged. She was also an unlucky ship, perpetually being struck by other vessels in harbour! What a hard worker though, perpetually dashing about, plus the tows down to Durban and even more arduous, towing both HMS Severn and HMS Mersey (separately) up to the Suez Canal for refit in Alexandria. |

He was firing the PM boiler low furnace and moved back under the bucket just before it dropped, evidently forgetting that it was being used. J Southwell CT pulled him partly out of the way. A new wire had just been fitted and when the bucket was lifted it stuck about two thirds of the way up, one wheel mounting the guide. In clearing the bucket it suddenly dropped, the jar breaking the wire. Mr Ross was at the winch superintending the fitting of the new wire by the Leading Fireman and the storekeeper. The bucket was stuck for about two minutes and the Leading Fireman cleared it. Signed, G Lemmon. (Eng.
