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 HILDEBRAND (1911) was a cargo and passenger liner launched on 14th February 1911 by Scott’s Shipbuilding & Engineering Co., Greenock, for the Booth Line. She was the company’s largest ship: gross tonnage 6,995, length 440.3ft x beam 54.1ft, one funnel, two masts, twin screw, speed 12.5 knots, accommodation for 218-1st and 406-3rd class passengers. She began her maiden voyage on 16th April 1911 when she left Liverpool for Le Havre and Manaus. “Hildebrand” was ordered at the peak of the Brazilian rubber boom (in 1910 Brazilian production accounted for 80% of the world’s supply); she was the largest ship built by Booth Line to date. On 5th December 1914, she was commissioned as an Armed Merchant Cruiser and was assigned to the 10th Cruiser Squadron detailed to Area “D” (Eastern base line of Area: N ½ W from St Kilda). From February 3rd to February 5th 1915, “Hildebrand” took part, together with HMS “Patuca”, in the search for HMS “Clan McNaughton”. The last signal received from “Clan MacNaughton” referred to a Leading Seaman lost overboard. The weather was very bad at that time. When last communicated with by W/T, “Clan MacNaughton” appeared to be in Lat 58 41N, Long 9 27W carrying out patrol duties. The ships working on D patrol were searching for “Clan MacNaughton” and reported sighting several small pieces of wreckage such as a hatchway cover, griping spar, battens, life belts, etc. The paint on wreckage observed suggested that the fragments belonged to an Armed Merchant Cruiser. Rear Admiral de Chair directed “Hildebrand” to abandon the search and resume patrol. “Clan McNaughton” probably foundered on the night of February 2nd, to the westward of the Hebrides, possibly striking a mine of which there were many drifting north. All 281 crew on board died. In June 1916, “Hildebrand” joined HMS “Otway” on E patrol North-East of Iceland. On 2nd October 1917, while escorting a convoy bound for the Clyde, “Hildebrand” was attacked by an enemy submarine in the neighbourhood of Rathlin Island, HMS “Drake” being torpedoed (by U-79); two other ships were mined in the vicinity. “Hildebrand” arrived safely at the Clyde. On 17th January 1919, “Hildebrand” was returned to the Booth Line. On January 2nd 1920, she rescued the passengers and crew of the U.S. schooner “Ernst T. Lee”. “Three women, six babies and 12 men were rescued from the American schooner “Ernst T. Lee” in mid-Atlantic recently by the crew of the steamer “Hildebrand” when the “Lee” was dismasted and waterlogged. They were transferred to the steamer with great difficulty owing to the fact that a high sea was running.” “These members of her crew were awarded for gallantry at sea by the President of the United States: Captain A. W. Stoker, master, Mr R. H. Buck, chief officer, and S. W. Longman, W. Hughes, J. J. McConkey, H. Lancaster and L. Miller, seamen, in recognition of their services to the American schooner “Ernst T. Lee” which was abandoned in the Atlantic Ocean on January 2nd, 1920.” Between 1922 and 1930, “Hildebrand” was the only first class passenger ship in the fleet whose calls included Oporto, Lisbon, Madeira, Para and Manaus. On 19th July 1932, “Hildebrand” left the Mersey for breaking up, but was laid up at Milford Haven in case trade picked up and she could be sold for further trading. In February 1934, she was sold to J. Cashmore and scrapped at Newport, Monmouth. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/descriptions/ShipsH.shtml: Merchant Fleets, vol.34 by Duncan Haws http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=19087 http://www.bluestarline.org/booth/hildebrand2.html Grainger J.D.
