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.

This edited version of HMS Cambrian's logs is the last to be published of our 314 WWI-era Royal Navy logs.
With its publication, we remember Helen Julian and Paul Money who also worked on editing Cambrian's transcriptions.
Helen and Paul were dedicated and valued volunteers at Old Weather and at Naval-History.Net for many years.

*[Note: Mexico would not normally be within the orbit of Royal Navy vessels, but May 1920 was a period of great turbulence in Mexico, with a further stage of the national revolution, and the death of Venustiano Carranza. “Cambrian” may have been asked to keep a watching brief on the situation in the country. For details of the May 1920 events, see Venustiano Carranza (Wikipedia). The US had invaded and captured Vera Cruz in 1914, so there was still tension in the area. See United States occupation of Veracruz.]
