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. |

The AVESTA hoisted Swedish colours and Sub Lt Eastty ordered the armed guard to keep out of sight and hide their uniforms. He himself removed his naval cap and jacket and instructed the master to hide the guard and make no mention of their presence if stopped. In order to explain the AVESTA’s position and course he was to say that the ship was proceeding into Kirkwall voluntarily. Unfortunately the AVESTA had a German crew member who could not be relied upon to stay quiet so in the event it was decided to initially ignore the U-boat’s stop signal and the AVESTA maintained course and speed. Before the situation could escalate smoke was sighted on the horizon. Both parties assumed this to be another 10th Cruiser Squadron ship and the U-boat retreated. In fact the ship proved to be the American oil-tanker POLARINE bound west across the Atlantic. The AVESTA arrived safely in Kirkwall 18 hours later where the German crew member was handed over.

A footnote in “The Maritime Blockade of Germany in the Great War: The Northern Patrol, 1914-1918”, Navy Records Society 2003, states: “Compton-Hall’s attribution to ALSATIAN and MANTUA of BREMEN’s killing is impossible – particularly when he says they ‘modestly’ did not claim it. No Royal Navy ship would have failed to claim a U-boat kill; indeed they claimed kills which did not happen all too often. Further neither ship was at any time in this summer ‘south of Ireland’, and only on very rare occasions, as on 25 August, were they even in company. It is noticeable that Compton-Hall gives no source for his information.” There is certainly no entry in MANTUA’s logs for August and September 1916 reporting her striking a submerged object.] LOGS FOR SEPTEMBER 1916 4caf882ecadfd3419701ee6e: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-001_0.jpg) 4caf882ecadfd3419701ee6f: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-001_1.jpg) Page signed T W Bennett Lt Cmdr RNR, Navigating Officer 4caf882ecadfd3419701ee70: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-002_0.jpg) 4caf882ecadfd3419701ee71: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-002_1.jpg) Page signed G M Marston, Captain 4caf882ecadfd3419701ee72: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-003_0.jpg) 4caf882fcadfd3419701ee73: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-003_1.jpg) 1 September 1916 [At Patrol] Lat 62.1, Long -13.4 4.00am: High Southerly swell, ship plunging heavily 6.00am: Altered course S79W 6.45am: Hands fall in, Clean ship 8.00am: High SW swell, ship labouring heavily 9.20am: Divisions & prayers 10.30am: Exercised Action, altered course S45W & steered straight course 10.45am: Hauled in Port log 11.00am: Secure 11.00am: Resumed course & zigzag as per scale B Noon: Altered course S80W 2.20pm: Sighted sailing vessel 3.06pm: Stand by engines 3.11pm: Slow engines & helm as required signalling Danish schooner NANNA Troon to Iceland 3.50pm: Allowed to proceed & resumed course S80W & zigzag as per Scale A 4.00pm: Evening quarters, Physical Drill 4.45pm: Sighted vessel Starboard bow 5.10pm: Signalled Russian volunteer ship FAMBOV[?] allowed to proceed 8.00pm: Altered course S77W 8.30pm: Darkened ship 10.00pm: Considerable cross sea & swell, ship labouring & shipping water Sick list 4 4caf882fcadfd3419701ee74: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-004_0.jpg) 2 September 1916 At Patrol Lat 60.3, Long -18.1 10.00am: Challenged & replied HMS VIRGINIAN Sick list 4 4caf882fcadfd3419701ee75: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-004_1.jpg) 3 September 1916 At Patrol Lat 59.5, Long -18.0 10.00am: Held Divine Service Sick list 3 4caf882fcadfd3419701ee76: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-005_0.jpg) 4 September 1916 At Patrol Lat 59.4, Long -18.0 3.45am: Observed steamer on Port bow 4.00am: Altered course 5.04am: Boarding boat left, Sub Lt Dallas in charge, & boarded Norwegian SS LISKEN 5.40am: Boarding boat returned 5.46am: Boarding boat left with armed guard, Mid Munroe in charge 5.50am: Ship sighted Starboard bow, Challenged & replied HMS PATIA 6.07am: Boat returned & hoisted 6.10am: Proceeded engines & helm as required to close HMS PATIA 6.26am: Cutter left 6.48am: Cutter returned with Mid Cook & Pirouet & two armed guards, boat hoisted 11.35am: Sighted sailing vessel, altered course to close 12.50pm: Cutter left, Sub Lt Dallas in charge, with armed guard Lt Brown in charge, & boarded Norwegian SV MUSSELCRAG 1.20pm: Cutter returned & hoisted Sick list 3 4caf882fcadfd3419701ee77: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-005_1.jpg) 5 September 1916 At Patrol Lat 59.4, Long -18.0 1.00pm: Challenged & replied HMS TEUTONIC 3.00pm: Ship pitching to long head swell 6.05pm: Sighted Challenged & replied HMS ORVIETO 6.10pm: Altered course to close 6.45pm: Boat from HMS ORVIETO alongside 6.49pm: Boat left with armed guard for HMS ANDES 11.30pm: Moderate Westerly swell Sick list 4 4caf882fcadfd3419701ee78: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM_53-48291/ADM 53-48291-006_0.jpg) 6 September 1916 At Patrol Lat 58.5, Long -18.1 2.15am: Observed steamer, altered course to close 2.50am: Signalling to American SS MORENI, allowed to proceed (cleared Kirkwall) 6.55am: Observed steamer port bow 7.35am: Cutter left, Lt Lycett in charge, & boarded Dutch SS ZUIDERDIJK 8.00am: Cutter returned 8.03am: Cutter left with armed guard, Sub Lt Lawson in charge 8.25am: Cutter returned & hoisted.

Both these vessels were built for fine weather service in warm climates. Apart from this they were both severely strained in the gales of last winter and MANTUA has also been strained by grounding. If therefore they can be exchanged for two Armed Merchant Cruisers accustomed to North Atlantic work for the winter it would be a great advantage. Neither OROTAVA nor MANTUA are considered fit to face the heavy gales and weather normally experienced during the winter on the Northern Patrol.” This request was approved by the Admiralty on 24 September.]
