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:
Some useful abbreviations:
This edit would not of course be possible without the Internet and we would like to acknowledge the following sites that are the source of all the hyperlinks here. All of these are maintained by volunteers, usually at their own expense and we are greatly indebted to them. In no particular order…
The following sites each contributed a single piece to the jigsaw and nonetheless valuable for that… Thank you, heroes all, we enthusiasts and amateur historians salute you! Each page is a précis of the day’s events, with routine entries (clean ship, hands to dinner etc) omitted for brevity. However on the first day of each month the full entry is recorded, to give an idea of shipboard life. The position on the second line of each day is that of the ship at noon, either as recorded in the log or the co-ordinates of a known port. When neither is available, positions have been estimated, with the assistance of the Journey Plotter programme, and these are marked [approx]. |

THE VOYAGES OF HMS APHIS 1916-1921
(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) LOGS FOR FEBRUARY 1916 4edebce614d0450578000d14: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-33806/0001_0.jpg) 4edebce614d0450578000d15: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-33806/0001_1.jpg) Front cover of copy log book for February 1916. 4edebce614d0450578000d16: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-33806/0002_0.jpg) Blank. 4edebce614d0450578000d17: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-33806/0002_1.jpg) Signature of Cdr FB Noble (Captain)*. 1st March 1916. *Although only a Commander, he is referred to as Captain by courtesy and to the crew he is known, by ancient custom, as “The Owner”. 4edebce614d0450578000d18: (https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/oldweather/ADM53-33806/0003_0.jpg) Instrument page, none fitted.

No doubt they have awnings rigged to keep some of the snow off the steel decks, but movement will be kept to a minimum and cleaning the upper deck will involve little more than sweeping snow off it. 5.50am: Called hands. 6.00am: Cocoa and wash. 6.30am: Hands fall in, up guard and steerage*. 7.50am: Cooks. 8.00am: Breakfast and clean into No 3 dress. 8.55am: Out pipes. 9.00am: Hands fall in, clean ship, Saturday routine. 10.00am: Stand easy. 10.10am: Carry on. 10.50am: Quarters. 11.45am: Secure. 11.50am: Cooks.
