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 Teutonic, 10th Cruiser Squadron (Senior Officer) was employed on patrol North of Shetland Islands, but in December 1916 she was placed in reserve. Recommissioned again in October 1917, she was assigned to the 2nd Cruiser Squadron: White sea escort duty. In 1918 she served as a convoy escort ship and troop transport. Teutonic was Britain's first armed merchant cruiser as she was built under the British Auxiliary Armed Cruiser Agreement." A few links about her can be found in Old Weather forum: http://forum.oldweather.org/index.php?topic=44.0 And here is a link to a publication by Terence Dawson Lilley "Operations of the Tenth Cruiser Squadron: a challenge for the Royal Navy and its reserves. PhD thesis, University of Greenwich - http://gala.gre.ac.uk/9397/ where a transcription of the signals exchanged during Teutonic boarding of Kristianafjord can be found. |

THE VOYAGES OF HMS TEUTONIC 1914-1918
(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 TEUTONIC 1914
