As a project for "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," I have to do a ship's log. However, I can't find dates in the poem. Can you help me?

You might consider using logs from the slave trade.  I am providing a link that has links to other sites.  It provides dates and many different points of view.  You didn't mention if your log needed to coincide with the time period of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" or if any type of log would work. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" was published in the 1798, but may have been set as far back as the 1772.  Where you given any further directions other than make a ship log?

Instead of using precise dates, you might just use generic days. For instance, you could start each log with: "Captain's log (or whatever), Day 1....."

Note that the poem is divided into seven sections. Think about whether each section might constitute one day, with those events occurring on that day. Or you might invent dates for the voyage, setting it sometime in the early 1800s. Pay attention to the descriptions of weather so that you don't date the log in August and have the poem say that it's snowing.

Believe it or not, there are web sites that give instructions on how to keep a ship's log. Check out these sites:

This is a nifty project.

Later today, I will be blogging about a new book called "The Friendship:  Wordsworth and Coleridge."  I did not realize what a collaborative effort this poem had been.  You might want to check out the book or read my blog post. 

This is neat.  I know that Wordsworth was rather put out with Coleridge's failure to produce in quanitity as Wordsworth did for their collarborative effort, "Lyrical Ballads".  This is believed to be largely due to Coleridge's drug problem.  I will definitely check out this book for more info on the subject.  Thanks, Jamie!

Myboats log at www.myboatslog.com is a really handy site for keeping logbooks,boat blogs, picture and video galleries of your boat and delivers timely boating and sailing news

I don't think you need to produce exact days either.  Try, Jan 23, 177____," and words like "the following year" for one year later.
