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: This HMS Devonshire was the 6th of eight ships to carry the Devonshire name. The first was launched in 1692 and the last in 1960. [Wikipedia Reference] Statements occur several times during most days listing 'Rounds correct' or 'Rounds made, Darken ship, Draw a fire.' This refers to a 'round' of inspection of the ship especially prior to night. The 'Darken ship' refers to wartime footing and the fact that a ship did NOT want to be in open water with all lights blazing which would make them a visible target for enemy ships. Warships normally ran at night with no lights showing. 'Log reset' – refers to the Patent Log – a rotored/propellered instrument towed behind the ship to measure distance travelled. Its 'rotations' are frequently mentioned in the Logs as a means of determining speed. It would be read and reset at intervals to determine how far the ship had travelled during a period of time. To draw the fire is to remove everything, which you would do if you didn't intend to use the engine the next day. A steam pinnace alongside a warship will have her fires banked overnight and drawn when she is no longer required for duty and is to be hoisted in. Many measurements will be mentioned in the Logs such as 'Cable, Fathom, Shackle, and Mile (Nautical Mile). Data can be found on the link: Imperial Measures of Length |

(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) LOGS FOR JUNE 1916 4f961c4aa2fc8e2def0028b0: (http://s3.amazonaws.com/oldweather/ADM53-39744/ADM 53-39744-001_0.jpg) Log Title Page June 1916 4f961c4aa2fc8e2def0028b1: (http://s3.amazonaws.com/oldweather/ADM53-39744/ADM 53-39744-001_1.jpg) Log Title Page June 1916 4f961c4aa2fc8e2def0028b2: (http://s3.amazonaws.com/oldweather/ADM53-39744/ADM 53-39744-002_0.jpg) Log Page -
