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 Paul’s notes: Each days entry is a précis of the entries recorded in the log for that day. Routine events are usually omitted, but occasionally (usually on the first of the month) there is a full entry to give a flavour of life aboard. The second line of each day is the noon position, either from the co-ordinates of a known port or from a position recorded in the log from sightings or cross-bearings. Like many small ships, Welland often does not trouble to record the noon position or gets it demonstrably wrong and where that has happened the editor has estimated the position from other logged information, usually using the invaluable Journey Plotter program. Estimated positions are marked [approx]. Some useful abbreviations:
AB: Able Seaman.

THE VOYAGES OF HMS WELLAND 1913-1919
(Maps prepared using Journey Plotter, developed by Maikel. The Plots can only be approximate. They are made by joining-up positions on successive days, and sometimes positions are not given. There will therefore be occasions when the ship appears to have travelled overland)

There was no loss of life. The logs of Welland rarely give details of her convoys, so I can’t say why she was South of Malta and heading North at this time. Perhaps she had escorted other vessels to a rendezvous with another escort. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037330: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-009_0.jpg) 12 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Employed taking out ammunition and decoaling ship, to prepare for refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037331: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-009_1.jpg) 13 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Hands employed refitting and as requisite. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037332: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-010_0.jpg) 14 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037333: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-010_1.jpg) 15 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037334: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-011_0.jpg) 16 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037335: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-011_1.jpg) 17 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037336: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-012_0.jpg) 18 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037337: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-012_1.jpg) 19 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037338: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-013_0.jpg) 20 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit. 4caf8ca2cadfd34197037339: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-68387/ADM 53-68387-013_1.jpg) 21 March 1918 Malta Lat 35.89, Long 14.51 Refit.
