Probably the oldest English newspaper still published today. Lloyd's List details ship movements, marine casualties & maritime news

Google have digitised early editions of Lloyd's List . This collection does not include any issues for 1742, 1743, 1745, 1746, 1754, 1756, 1759 or 1778. Various issues are also missing from certain volumes. In addition issues up to 1752 are dated using the Julian calendar meaning that the New Year begins on 25th March. The first surviving issue here is dated 2 January 1740 but in the year we would now think of as being 1741.

The volumes listed here are searchable making it particularly useful for searching for voyages of particular vessels and the names of masters. 

The Marine News section has also been indexed by volunteers at the Guildhall Library which may help with searching through the volumes listed here.

A series of indexes, covering ship movements and casualties 1838 to October 1927, are on microfilm at the National Maritime Museum, the Guildhall Library, Merseyside Maritime Museum and the National Library of Scotland.

The National Maritime Museum has also published a brief history of Lloyd's List.
