Journey Plotter

Journey Plotter is an application for visualizing journeys of Royal Navy vessels of the World War 1-era, or Arctic voyages of United States vessels from the mid 19th century onwards. For a given day, you can see the ship's position and read the log-book entries that describe activities on board. Select from hundreds vessels, the number is still increasing, from the following services: • Royal Navy • United States Navy • United States Revenue Service/Coast Guard • United States Coast & Geodetic Survey • United States Fish Commission 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. Disclaimer: Although this app displays historical naval information from the Royal Navy, the US Navy and other US services, it does not represent any government entity. A journey can consist of large amounts of data, so it's advisable to use a Wi-Fi connection if you're being charged for your data use. Journey Plotter can be kept free of cost by showing interstitial advertisements. You can, however, make an in-app purchase to remove advertisements. A word on the location permissions. Journey Plotter isn't using your position in any form, but this permission is required for Google Maps.
