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: A number of additional pages are included in the logs as letters describing the boarding of various ships. These have been transcribed. These and other pages also refer to the early career of a young Philip Vian of World War 2 fame. |

(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)

The ship is on a voyage from Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Pernambuco to Amsterdam via Lisbon, Vigo and Falmouth. She had 700 bags of English mail for Falmouth and her cargo consisted of coffee, raw hides, beef tallow consigned to G Denering and Nederland Overseas Trust Coy and Van Rees Amsterdam Liquidatekas. Thirty eight first class passengers, amongst whom Col Leroy Lewis on military service, fifty eight second class, and eight hundred and thirty one third class passengers. Three of the passengers were German namely - Count Von Westrop, aged 47, from Rio Janeiro who was made prisoner. IJ Wittman, aged 77, looked like an artisan, from Buenos Aires, and a woman - Ide Schlieve aged 37 from Santos. None of them could speak English. The crew which I mustered consisted of 177 including the master, all of whom were presumably Dutch both by their looks and the ship's papers which were in order. The master informed me that he saw HMS Bristol in dry dock at Rio Janeiro but that otherwise he had seen no warships and had nothing of interest to report. He made no objection to the object of my visit, on which Lieut CE Finlay RNR accompanied me as witnessing officer.
