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. Most of the ship pictures are from http://www.photoship.co.uk/, a great site for the enthusiast. I am also indebted to www.wikipedia.org/ of course and the excellently researched www.wrecksite.eu/, sadly the last and only information that we have of so many ships. Readers may need to register with wrecksite (free) in order to use their links. Many thanks to http://www.theshipslist.com/, a must for any researcher and http://navypedia.org/ has time and again provided information on long-forgotten warships from one hundred years ago. Note: The second line of each day’s entry is the noon position in decimal format. Those marked “(approx)” have been estimated using Journey Plotter for day where no location or noon position are given. Other positions in the text are given in traditional degrees and minutes. |
