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. In instances where the noon position has not been recorded, it has been estimated from other information, with the help of the Journey Plotter program and these positions are marked (approx). Other positions in the text are shown in “old-fashioned” degrees and minutes.

Each day’s entry is a precis of the original log page, with routine entries usually omitted. Occasionally, usually when in harbour on the 1^st 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.

Acknowledgements and thanks.

All the hyperlinks in the text lead to sites maintained by enthusiasts, usually at their own expense and I would like to thank them all.

The ubiquitous https://es.wikipedia.org is of course invaluable; please note that it is maintained by voluntary donations. http://www.clydesite.co.uk and http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk are mines of information on the days when most of the world’s shipping was built in Britain. http://www.theshipslist.com, http://www.red-duster.co.uk and http://www.bluestarline.org have stacks of information on merchant shipping lines, while http://www.historicalrfa.org has all the details of the auxiliary ships that kept the Royal Navy supplied on station.
http://www.wrecksite.eu is often the only source for info on ships that met their end at sea, while http://navypedia.org/ is the place to track down obscure old warships of the world’s navies and http://www.dreadnoughtproject.org often has the details of their officers. http://www.geographic.org has maps for just about every location on the oceans and http://www.trinityhouse.co.uk, http://www.lighthousedigest.com and https://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/ can be relied for fascinating facts about the lighthouses thereon.
http://www.photoship.co.uk does what it says on the box, addictive and nostalgic.

We are all drawn to the stories of ships that no longer leave a wake on the ocean and sailors who have downed their last tot. We are indebted to all of the above and we are much in their debt. Thank you.

(A nice demonstration of mooring technique. The Woosung (aka Whangpoo) River is tidal and Curlew is coming in on a flood tide. If she attempts to take up her moorings directly, the tide will inevitably sweep her past them, so she passes the moorings, drops an anchor, allows the flood stream to turn her round through 180º, then weighs and is able to approach her moorings from upriver with just enough way on to stem the flood and pick up her moorings nicely.)

Note that while in the Yangtze, noon positions are hard to come by. Those in the log sometimes place the vessel firmly on dry land many miles from the river. Some of these are navigational or typographical errors, others are caused by the very great changes in the river’s course over the intervening century. In all doubtful cases I have estimated a position that places the vessel in the river’s modern course at approximately the right place and these are marked (approx).
