Source of information:
This app makes use of information from original Royal Navy and United States log-books that are available at the National Archives of their nations, respectively https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ for the Royal Navy, and https://www.archives.gov/ for the United States services, and has been digitised and then made available by Naval-History.Net (https://www.naval-history.net).
Journey Plotter provides links to the source for each individual ship.
The log-books have been transcribed by volunteers on the Old Weather (https://www.oldweather.org) project and edited into a more readable form by volunteers on the Naval-History.Net project.
Many thanks to the late Gordon Smith for graciously letting us use the information available from Naval-History.Net.
And thanks, of course, to all those volunteers who transcribed and edited the log-books.
