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 following websites have been invaluable during the editing of this log. Most of them are maintained by volunteers, often at their own expense, and we would like to acknowledge and thank all of them.
Wikipedia, invaluable for everything.
To those who keep these sites going, thank you very much. We are all in your debt. The entry for each day is a précis of the actual log page, but occasionally a full day’s entry is recorded to convey the flavour of a quiet day in port. The original page can always be examined by clicking on the link above the date. The second line of each day’s entry is the position at noon in decimal format, either taken from the log or the known co-ordinates of a port. When neither of these is available, I have deduced feasible positions from other information, with the help of Journey Plotter and these are marked [approx]. This is particularly true in the Yangtze River, where positions and distances run are never recorded and in any case, the course of the river has changed a lot in the intervening years.

THE VOYAGES OF HMS CRICKET 1918-1923
(Maps prepared using Journey Plotter, developed by Maikel. The Plots can only be approximate. They are made by joining-up positions on successive days, and sometimes positions are not given. There will therefore be occasions when the ship appears to have travelled overland)
