Vessel data by official number
This page shows data for one official number. Bear in mind that ships were often re-named so
there may be several different names for the same vessel.
The source of the information is shown. This may be crew lists, shipping and fishing registers,
the Mercantile Navy List (MNL) or the Appropriation Books at the Registry of Shipping and Seamen (RSS), in which case the
port or ports at which the ship was registered are shown.
The index also returns any book references which quote the official number, showing the author's name first.
From this page, you can search other indexes for this official number, particularly our data for crew lists at Record Offices
and crew lists at The National Archives. The links are below the table of data.
Please note that some of these links go to external sites, and we can't guarantee that they have data for this particular official number.
Please see the finding aids page for more details on sources, the abbreviations we have used,
