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: Chinese place names: many places are known by more than one name, so I have standardised them to the variant most common at the time. The modern name is shown in brackets when first encountered. The second line of each day’s entry is either the co-ordinates of a known place, or when on passage, a position estimated by the editor with the help of the Journey Plotter program. These are marked [approx]. Each day’s edit is a précis of the log entries, omitting routine events. However on the first day of each month there is a full entry, to convey the flavour of life aboard. Readers can of course always view the original page by clicking on the link. Places, ships and officers have a hyperlink (when available) when first encountered. The editor wishes to thank the contributors and managers of the following sites, all of which have been an immense help. In no particular order (and with apologies for any omissions)…

THE VOYAGES OF HMS TARANTULA 1919-1924
(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) THE VOYAGES OF HMS TARANTULA 1919
