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:

You can view a nice model of Rosario here.

The editing of this log, particularly the hyperlinks of course, would be impossible without the numerous sites kept going on the Internet by volunteers and enthusiasts. The ships, the men, the lighthouses and the arcane details of shipboard life in the early part of the 20th century are all there. We here at Old Weather and Naval History are very much in your debt and we thank and salute you all.

* The entire ship’s company is drawn up on deck and each hand in turn steps up, salutes the Captain and states his rating, qualifications and good conduct badges. The muster roll and ship’s disciplinary record are checked and the man salutes again and returns to his division. The main purpose of this is to allow the Captain to put a name to the face, as even in a small ship there will be some hands that he just never sees in the normal run of things.

Frederick W. Medway’s first posting was to the Orion class battleship HMS Conqueror, of the 2nd Battleship Squadron of the Home Fleet, on April 16, 1914. He was with her when hostilities broke out in August.

He then moved on to HMS Cheerful, a C Class destroyer in April 1915 and was second in command of this early destroyer on patrols in the North Sea.

Medway volunteered for submarine service in April 1915 and was subsequently posted in July 1915 to the Submarine tender HMS Thames for training. He was then assigned to HMS C-3 of the 5th Local Defence Submarine Flotilla.

He achieved the rank of Lieutenant on August 28, 1915.

In July 1916, he was posted to the Submarine depôt ship HMS Titania, where he served on HMS J-3.

After taking his Commanding Officer’s course, Medway was sent to the China Flotilla in October 1916 and posted to HMS Rosario, the Submarine Tender based at Hong Kong in October 1917, where he was placed in "Command of Submarines", including three older C Class vessels, C-36, C-37 and C-38. He remained in command of one or more of them until the end of the war.

For his First World War service, he was awarded the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
