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:

All the hyperlinks in this edit lead us to sites, usually maintained by unpaid (and often unthanked) volunteers, with a mine of information for enthusiasts and researchers. I am of course indebted to http://en.wikipedia.org and please note that they rely on voluntary contributions. http://www.geographic.org is a great resource for places and http://www.clydeships.co.uk is the first place to look for shipbuilding information, at the time when most of the world’s shipping came down British rivers. http://navypedia.org has a lot on long-forgotten warships and http://www.theshipslist.com is the place to look for information on the shipping lines of 100 years ago. http://www.dreadnoughtproject.org has a great deal on the officers of the day. Some other sites have provided a single interesting piece for the jigsaw and I must mention http://digital.slv.vic.gov.au, http://www.firstworldwar.com, http://hpc.vcea.net, http://www.xiangya.com.cn and http://www.readyayeready.com. To all of the researchers who keep these sites going (and any that I have forgotten to mention) a very big thank you. Those of us enthralled by ships that no longer leave a wake and sailors who have downed their last tot are very much in your debt.

Some useful abbreviations:

AB: Able Seaman.
CERA: Chief Engine Room Artificer.
C-in-C: Commander in Chief.
CPO: Chief Petty Officer.
ERA: Engine Room Artificer.
HIJMS: His Imperial Japanese Majesty’s Ship.
HMS: His Majesty’s Ship.
Lt: Lieutenant.
Lt/Cdr: Lieutenant Commander.
LVA: Leading Victualler’s Assistant.
LV: Light Vessel.
MG: Machine Gun.
OOG: Officer of the Guard.
PO: Petty Officer.
RN: Royal Navy.
SA: Small Arms.
SBA: Sick Berth Attendant.
SBS: Sick Berth Steward.
SNO: The Senior Naval Officer.
SPO: Stoker Petty Officer.
TB(D): Torpedo Boat (Destroyer).
USS: United States Ship.
VA: Vice Admiral and also Victualling Assistant.

The second line of each day’s entry is the ship’s position at noon. When at a known location it is the co-ordinates of that place, but when in transit, I have had to estimate the position from information in the log with the help of the Journey Plotter program, as noon positions have not been recorded in the log. These positions are marked [approx].

Note that the course of the Yangtse (and its lakes and tributaries) is in many places very different from that of 100 years ago, so I have adopted the practice of placing the vessel in the modern course of the river, to avoid showing positions on dry land.

9.50am: Hands mustered by the ledger*. Read the Articles of War**.

* The entire ship’s company is drawn up on deck and each hand in turn steps up, salutes the Captain and states his rating, qualifications and good conduct badges. The muster roll and ship’s disciplinary record are checked and the man salutes again and returns to his division. The main purpose of this is to allow the Captain to put a name to the face, as even in a small ship there will be some hands that he just never sees in the normal run of things.

** The regulations that governed the conduct of every member of the Royal Navy. They were required by Admiralty Instructions to be read to the ship’s company once a month.
