Books Boxes and Boats brings together a wide variety of websites and databases hopefully useful to anyone carrying out maritime related research but in particular librarians archivists and family historians. These include 'official' sites such as the National Archives and the Royal Naval Museum as well as websites run by enthusiasts such as Through Mighty Seas and the Allen Collection. These latter sites can often be the most useful often concentrating on a very specific subject area and obviously the result of many hours of research resulting in a detailed resource that would be difficult if not impossible to find elsewhere. These passenger lists of Polish displaced persons and this database of ship histories and fleet lists are just two examples. If you know of any other sites you think would make a useful addition to this website please let me know using this contact page. I'm also open to any suggestions or criticisms that may help in making this a better site. I'd particularly like to thank the guys at CLIP and Convoy Web for their input and, it goes without saying, all my day job colleagues. |
