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 logs of HMS Cumberland transcribed below cover the period from 19 August, 1913, one year prior to the outbreak of World War I, to 15 April, 1920, about one year after the Armistice. During this period the logs cover the following operations: August 1913 to May 1914: British waters, eastern North Atlantic and western Mediterranean. December 1914 to March 1917: Coastal west Africa; North Atlantic, mainly patrolling off the north-east USA but also including some trans-Atlantic convoy duties. April 1917 to November 1918: North Atlantic convoy duties. November 1918 to April 1920: During this period Cumberland was used primarily as a cadets training ship. This training included a cruise to the West Indies and eastern Canada. Cumberland arrived in Queenstown, Ireland, on 10 October, 1919, and was paid off in that port on 15 April, 1920. No logs are available for the periods of 19 May to 30 November, 1914; January and February 1915; November 1915, September 1916; 26 October, 1916 to 11 June, 1917; September 1918; January 1919; and 20 December, 1919 to 2 January, 1920. A number of points are relevant with regard to the log transcriptions: Not all events in the logs are transcribed. In particular, routine events of a regular nature (e.g. Divisions; reading of prayers) are rarely transcribed unless they form part of an entry which is otherwise of importance. Course and engine revolution changes are also rarely transcribed. Events involving other vessels or where people are mentioned by name are usually transcribed. Where an entire word or a part of a word cannot be interpreted, it is replaced by a tilde (‘~’). Where the spelling of a word is uncertain, it is noted by ‘[sp.]’ inserted after the relevant word. Where possible, hyperlinks are provided for naval vessels and geographical locations that are encountered. Hyperlinks are not provided for the majority of merchant vessels due to the large numbers of such vessels encountered (particularly during patrolling off New York). A hyperlink to a vessel is only provided for the first time on any day when that vessel is encountered. Hyperlinks for locations are provided on a more irregular basis. Common abbreviations (e.g. ‘HMS’, ‘AB’, ‘CPO’) are not expanded. Less common abbreviations or contractions are generally transcribed in full (e.g. ‘Light Vessel’ for ‘L.V.’; ‘Telegraphist’ for ‘Tel.’) to enhance readability. |
