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. |

Essex received a message saying: “Am in great danger of being taken by the enemy at latitude 30 40 North, longitude 17 10 West. Clan Mactavish.” This message was not transmitted to the officer of the watch. S.M.S. Moewe having made herself known ordered Clan Mactavish to stop. The order was not complied and a shot was fired in front of her bow. Then Clan Mactavish sent out her message and Moewe started to fire behind her bridge to destroy her W.T. station. She returned fire with the small gun she had on board but was no match for Moewe's 150 mm guns. When firing stopped Clan Mactavish was badly damaged. The surviving crew were taken prisoner by S.M.S. Moewe. Two hours later, Clan Mactavish was scuttled and sunk. Captain Oliver explained to Captain Donha that he did not believe that his opponent was a German armed merchant cruiser and also that he had not received a gun only for the sake of appearance, but to use it, if needed. Having heard this, Count zu Donha approved Captain Oliver's action saying that he would have done the same and gave him his hand. Unfortunately 18 men from a crew of 54 lost their lives: 15 Indian and 3 British ratings. S.M.S. Moewe then sailed to the coast of Brazil in fear of being detected by the British Squadron who might have heard the message.
