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:

HMS Gnat serves on the Yangtze and its tributaries throughout the period covered by these logs. The noon position is rarely recorded and is sometimes clearly wrong when it is. In addition, every place name has now changed, with some towns and cities disappearing altogether. The course and extent of the river and its lakes is also very different. In order to present as clear a picture as possible of the journeys of HMS Gnat, I have used the modern map and the co-ordinates of known places where possible. When on passage I have made a best estimate of her position from information in the log, assisted by the Journey Plotter program.

Each day's entry is a precis of the written page, usually omitting routine entries, such as cleaning, painting and the like. Sometimes when in harbour on the first day of a month, I have transcribed all the entries to give a flavour of the daily life.

Acknowledgements and thanks.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org is of course invaluable, particularly for US navy vessels and officers and note that it depends on small donations. http://www.wrecksite.eu and http://www.clydesite.co.uk have both proved invaluable with details of obscure merchant ships, so many thanks to their contributors. www.metoffice.gov.uk, http://www.negrettiandzambra.co.uk and http://www.radiomuseum.org provided interesting details on meteorological instruments. http://www.photoship.co.uk does what it says on the box, but ship-lovers should visit with care unless they have a lot of time to spend happily browsing. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/ is strong on merchant ships, while http://navypedia.org/ is equally informative about the fighting ships of 100 years ago and http://www.dreadnoughtproject.org has lots of stuff about the commanding officers. http://www.unithistories.com/officers/RN_officersS3.html is strictly speaking career records of WW2 officers, but of course many of these were junior officers in China at this time. Finally, http://hpc.vcea.net/Collection/Warren_Swire_Images has more photographs of the era than you will ever have time to study. There are also certainly sites that I have used and forgotten to acknowledge, for which heartfelt apologies.

To all these sites and their custodians, those of us fascinated by ships that no longer leave a wake on the ocean and sailors who have downed their last tot, are greatly in your debt and we salute you.

* Laestrygon was an old ship, hulked and serving as a pontoon. Some sources give her owners as A Holt and Co and indeed all their ships had Homeric names. This picture is said to be Butterfield and Swires' hulk at Hankow circa 1880. Taken at a period when the river had all but dried up, which is why she is propped up, you can clearly see an elegant clipper bow and the heavy timbers attached to her side for vessels to berth against. This may have been Laestrygon.
