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.

Logbook Pages for June to September 1914 are not included

Destroyer KENNET engaged a German destroyer at sunset off Tsingtau on 23^rd August 1914. Quoted from HISTORY OF THE GREAT WAR, NAVAL OPERATIONS, by Sir Julian S. Corbett, Volume I, published 1920

“The last act of the British blockade was a bold effort of the destroyer KENNET to cut off a German destroyer that was making for the port at sunset on the 23^rd. But she was outpaced, and not only did the enemy get away, but punished the KENNET so severely that she had a gun put out of action and lost three men killed and six wounded, two of which subsequently died.”
