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.

On this day the polar explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, visited HMS Avoca.

Shackleton, who was attempting to rescue 22 members of the Trans-Antarctic expedition stranded on Elephant Island,

had arrived in the Falklands on the Norwegian whaler, Southern Sky, from South Georgia.

The men on Elephant Island were eventually rescued on 30 August, 1916; they had survived on the island for 105 days.
