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:
The second line of each day’s entry is the ship’s position at noon, expressed in decimal format.

She was sold & renamed for the first time in 1925 to Norwegian owners as Otto Jarl and eventually sunk in 1941. However, another source gives the initial owners as Deutsche Levant Line but her sale in 1925 is the same, although her tonnage is reported as 1419 grt. However, the ship Prinkipo, 1419 tons, owned by Hamburg Amerika is reported as built in 1922 but still sold in 1925 and called “Otto Jarl”. Bokali may be Bugali but I cannot locate a lighthouse. The fort, now indexed as Bugali Kalesi, is at Lat 40.23, Long 26.38. It is famous in antiquity as being near the site where Leander swam the Hellespont and Lord Byron repeated the feat in 1810. Korlik Burnu may correspond to Saltik Burnu at Lat 40.23, Long 26.53. I cannot locate Dardo Bay. It is possible that Taroome may be a mis-written “Aroona”, 3116 tons, built as “War Typhoon” in 1918 by Sir Raylton Dixon & Co, Middlesbrough. She was deleted from the Lloyds list in 1956 after her sale to Chinese owners.] 4f4d1b85a2fc8ee0920027b4: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-87830/019_1.jpg) 4 October 1921 At sea to Constantinople Lat 41.16, Long 29.05 7.05am: Seraglio Light abeam 7.25am: Secured alongside “Brambleleaf” 1 Telegraphist discharged to “Stuart” Received 140 tons oil fuel 11.10am: Slipped from oiler & proceeded up harbour 12.05pm: Secured alongside HMS Serapis 3.00pm: 8 depth charges taken on board 5.45pm: HMS Serapis shortened in, let go starboard anchor in [no] 10 berth Buyuk Dere [Buyukdere] HMS Serapis weighed & slipped 7.00pm: Leave to watch till 9.30pm 9.30pm: 2 telegraphists joined ship. 1 telegraphist discharged to “Montrose” Number on sick list 2 [Seraglio Light is indexed as Fenerbahce Lighthouse in Turkey at Lat 40.97, Long 29.03.] 4f4d1b85a2fc8ee0920027b5: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-87830/020_0.jpg) 5 October 1921 Buyukdere to Beicos Lat 41.13, Long 29.09 9.30am: Weighed & proceeded 9.45am: Stopped, took over Guard Destroyer, Beicos, from HMS Tomahawk 9.50am: Proceeded 10.00am: Anchored 4.30pm: Leave to watch till 9.30pm Number on sick list 2 [Beicos is now indexed as Beikos or Beykoz in Turkey at Lat 41.14, Long 29.09.] 4f4d1b85a2fc8ee0920027b6: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-87830/020_1.jpg) 6 October 1921 Beicos Lat 41.13, Long 29.09 4.00pm: 1 telegraphist joined ship from Montrose 4.56pm: “Ajax” left Beicos 5.00pm: Weighed & proceeded, course as requisite to ship berth 5.20pm: Anchored At immediate notice throughout the dark hours, 1 gun at 20 minute notice for firing star shell Connected up telephone cable Number on sick list 2 4f4d1b86a2fc8ee0920027b7: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-87830/021_0.jpg) 7 October 1921 Beicos Lat 41.13, Long 29.09 8.00am: One stoker discharged to hospital 1.30pm: Leave to watch till 9.30pm 9.00pm: 1 Stoker Petty Officer joined ship from HMS Montrose Gun layers on immediate notice throughout dark hours Number on sick list 3 4f4d1b86a2fc8ee0920027b8: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-87830/021_1.jpg) 8 October 1921 Beicos Lat 41.13, Long 29.09 8.00am: Divisions, night clothing pm: Hands make & mend clothes 1.30pm: Leave to watch till 9.30pm 5.10pm: USS Overton passed steering north Number on sick list 2 [USS Overton, 1308 ton destroyer, was launched in 1919 by New York Shipbuilding.
