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.

(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)

11.50pm: Zeppelin raid

On [25 September] 1916 Commander Heinrich Mathy and his crew climbed into the gondola of Zeppelin L31 and weighed off, heading for England.

[Mathy's] main target was London, but he concluded that an attack on the heavily-defended capital would be difficult because of the clear weather.

Instead he decided they would bomb the Dockyard at Portsmouth where, as Mathy pointed out to his crew, ‘nobody has ever visited and it is sure to be very interesting’.

Mathy attacked from the south. One of his crew members recorded: ‘Dozens of searchlight clusters find us and fix on us. An unearthly concert is unleashed conducted by Satan himself’, probably referring to anti-aircraft fire from Point battery and Whale Island as L31 came over the harbour.

A heavy bomb load of 8,125 lbs was dropped and Mathy, blinded by the searchlight, reported that “all bombs has [sic] fallen on the city and the Dockyard”. However, the bombs appear to have fallen harmlessly into the harbour....
