Light Cruiser, Hawkins or Cavendish-class

Commissioned in April 1921 as Flagship, 8th LCS on North America and West Indies Station, but in 1922 she became a private ship (no longer flagship). Ran aground in thick fog on Point Armour, in the Belleisle Strait, Labrador in 1922. Although a large amount of equipment was salvaged she could not be refloated, and the wreck was abandoned (blown up in 1927 by a party from HMS Calcutta) (Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906-21)

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:

Where I have been able to research personnel, a ship, a place name, or other facts, I have placed ‘links' in the narrative to help the reader find further information.

As Raleigh interacted with other ships I have tried to link to references for further research. I have linked most RN ships to WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ship_names_of_the_Royal_Navy. Some RN ships’ logs are available on this site at Royal Navy Log Books - The Ship Histories. Many are edited; some are still awaiting edit.

Log reset miles’ refers to the Patent Log – a rotored/propellored 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. ‘Bower' refers to the anchors carried at the bow of the ship.
Make and Mend is the term used in the Navy for an ‘afternoon off.’

Many measurements are mentioned in the logs, such as cable, fathom, shackle, and mile (nautical mile). Data can be found here: 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)

On 8 August, 1922, HMS Raleigh ran aground in thick fog on Point Amour while entering Forteau Bay. Ten men were killed, and the ship became a total loss. On 3 October Commander Arthur Bromley left Quebec for Britain on the liner Empress of France. Commander Leslie C Bott, O.B.E., his second-in-command, was tried by Court-martial on 26 October and severely reprimanded and dismissed H.M.S. Victory. Bromley was tried on the following day by a Court presided over by Rear-Admiral Hugh F. P. Sinclair, charged with negligently or by default stranding and losing his ship. In his defence Bromley argued that had the charts he had been supplied with been accurate then his ship would not have stranded. The Court found the charge proved, and he was severely reprimanded and dismissed his ship.

He was placed on the Retired List, at his own request, dated 7 November. He was advanced to the rank of Rear-Admiral on the Retired List on 8 July, 1926.
