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:

Significant changes and additions to the log entries are marked in italic.
Spelling variations for the names of ports and other landmarks are included with the first mention of the name.
Decimal latitudes/longitudes have been expanded where necessary to 'keep the ship afloat'.
Unidentified vessels and other dubious entries are marked with [?].
