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:

More information about HMS Gibraltar can be found in the log books of HMS Crescent and HMS Endymion for much of this period.

THE VOYAGES OF HMS GIBRALTAR 1914
(A more detailed plot follows in the text)

(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)

From the start of the logs until 4 August 1914, HMS Gibraltar operated in the western English Channel and Irish Sea, as far north as the Firth of Clyde. On 6 August 1914, she relocated to Scapa Flow and she spent the rest of the period covered by the logs patrolling in the northern part of the North Sea. For much of this latter period, positions were not recorded in the logs; hence the disjointed nature of the displayed tracks.
