Thousands of non-noon positions have been added to the WW2 journey (1942-1945) of USCGC Unalga I, adding much more detail to her time in the Caribbean and off the coast of Rhode Island.
Though the latter becomes a bit of a red smudge if you project 18 months of activity. 😊

Additional positions have been added to the WW1 journey of HMS Amazon, adding detail to her operations in the Strait of Dover.
The logs only cover August to October 1916, but do include the Zeppelin raid on Portsmouth (25 September 1916) and the German destroyer raids on the Strait of Dover of 26 and 27 October 1916.

Over a thousand additional positions have been added to the 1913-1917 journey of USCGC Unalga I.
These non-noon positions add more detail to her time off the Californian coast and in Alaska.

Also, tables of mentioned crew and passengers, compiled by Matteo, have been added to each month.

More than one hundred additional positions have been collected from the logs of HMS Foyle (1920-1921).
The extra detail makes her round the southwest of Ireland much better.

About one hundred additional, non-noon positions have been added to the 1915 journey of HMS India.
These positions, calculated from bearings and distances to mentioned landmarks, add some more detail to her time in Glasgow and on northern patrol.
