Ship's Log

A ship's log is an official record maintained on a vessel that documents important information about its journey and activities. It typically includes details such as the ship's position, weather conditions, navigation information, and significant events or incidents that occur during a voyage. The log serves multiple purposes, including legal documentation, safety records, and historical reference. Crew members usually update the log regularly to ensure accurate information is preserved, which can be vital for investigations or inquiries after an incident.
