This page is an index of ships by their port of registry. It shows matching names
and their official number, sorted first by name, then by official number, with other details such as date of registration, and rig.
The source of this information is the Mercantile Navy List for the years ending in 0 from 1860 to 1910, together with 1857 and 1915. We will be
adding data from 1920, 1930 and 1940 in due course. Please see the finding aids page for details
on sources, the abbreviations we have used, and acknowledgements. Please note that the data was transcribed as seen in MNL,
so port names may appear in different versions, for example, Shields and South Shields
For 1860 to 1900 and 1915, the icon
links to an image of the Mercantile Navy List page for that vessel and year. We'll link images for 1910 in due course.
There are links to more details on the right hand side of the results table. The link will show any other names and ports for that vessel and
provides further links to CLIP data and other databases for that official number only.
