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:

No logs are present for 15 June 1921 to 30 June 1921 until the ship was recommissioned.

Positions (Latitude and Longitude) are given for noon each day, correcting or estimating the position when appropriate. If exact times are not indicated in the log they have, when appropriate, been estimated from the position of the entries (times are shown on the left hand side of the log page).

[S.S. Tordensjold – Could not find a reference to the ship mentioned in the logs and believe it is a misspelling of S.S. Tordenskjold (or D/S Tordenskjord in Norwegian). Tordenskjord was built in 1903 by Tyne Iron Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. In Newcastle as a cargo ship. It was sold to Emil R. Retzlaff in 1922 and was renamed S.S. Hunding. It was renamed again in 1924 as S.S. Katharina Dorothea Fritzen. On 2nd January 1925, the S.S. Katharina Dorothea Fritzen ran aground by Skudenes whilst sailing from Rotterdam to Narvik, Norway. (Sources: http://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?173093 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/wilhelmsen.shtml https://www.sjohistorie.no/en/skip/30099/default) In 1908, it seems the Tordenskjord was hit by S.S. Euphemia in the St. Lawrence River, between St. Antoine and Ste. Croix, which resulted in a Court appeal. Information on the appeal found here.]
