That kind of log floating behind ships was where the term log comes from. They’d throw them overboard and let them drift out over some interval and they’d mark down “log took 30 seconds to drift out to end of rope” to determine their speed.

See also: knot (literally how many knots in the rope were pulled overboard by said log in a given time).

Years ago I once wrote a program to view logs from a system I worked on. I used the ren and stimpy log as the icon for the file extension. It still makes me chuckle on the rare occasions I work on that system...

Picard is a beast. That log must weigh almost a hundred pounds.

That’s the supplemental one. Main one’s offscreen.

Did anyone else just hear the twin peaks theme music in their heads?

"Who's the guy in the back with the captain's insignia and the log?" "We call him the Log Captain."
