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 position of the ship at noon. This is taken from the log when it has been recorded and converted to the modern decimal format. When the vessel is in a known port the co-ordinates of that port are used. Sometimes on passage it is taken from the log of a vessel that is in company and this is noted. In all other circumstances, particularly in the Yangtze, the noon position has not been recorded, so it has been estimated from other information, with the help of the Journey Plotter program and these are marked (approx). Other positions are shown in “old-fashioned” degrees and minutes. Each day’s entry is a précis of the original log page, with routine entries usually omitted. Occasionally, usually when in harbour on the 1st of the month, the entire routine has been included to give a flavour of life aboard. On days when there are no details at all, you may assume that the crew are cleaning and painting.
Some abbreviations.

(There are no details of the works carried out in the logs, but as Cockchafer is bound for Russia, one hopes that they included insulation and steam heating.

As we will see later, 6” guns for Cockchafer and Cricket were sent out to Russia in a cargo vessel. The removal of the extra weight above the water line will also have assisted their stability at sea.) 4caf8583cadfd3419700f815: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM53-38171/ADM53-38171-0026_0.jpg) 16 October 1918 Chatham to Sheerness.
