Compendium of the World’s Passenger Ships
My blog contains mini-histories and photos of 2200 ships loaded in a random order. But FOR JUST £20 you can have a pdf copy of my database in launch date order. It is a data listing of liners, ferries, cruise and troop ships; every passenger carrying ship over 10000 tons dating from 1858 to the newbuilds of today. I will also provide an excel spreadsheet of links against every ship which will either take you to more detailed sites for past ships, the Marine Traffic page for the current vessel and to my blog for the photos. For the latest copy of both files, please email me at don.hazeldine@btinternet.com
