Please note: images of Royal Navy logs are subject to Crown Copyright and may not be reproduced in any form without the written consent of The National Archives, UK.

Below you will find links to the edited transcriptions of our Royal Navy ships' logs.
The editors work hard to present these logs in readable and, as far as possible, accurate form.
Most of the editors are experienced transcribers too.

From an Old Weather blog:

We chose our first batch of logbooks to cover the period of the First World War, as our climate records from this period were particularly poor.
This gave us not only invaluable new climate information, but also a new look at a key historical period which is about to reach its centenary.

To use our historical results, we teamed up with Gordon and naval-history.net. In Gordon's words: 'Our present world has been shaped by World War 1 -- as much a maritime war as World War 2. Not just the Battle of Jutland or the Allies' near-defeat by the U-boats, but Mediterranean, Belgian coast, South West & South Africa, East Africa, Persian Gulf, German raiders, Atlantic convoys, North Russia'.
We need to present our logbook records so they can contribute to public and scholarly understanding of the period.

The transcribed and edited logbook records are now a major component of naval-history.net ...
