Important Note
This site has been a work in progress for many years. As an individual, it has been difficult to maintain it singlehandedly. It is now time for a change!
From 2012, the content will gradually be moved over to the website of the Families in British India Society (FIBIS).
December 2011
*****************************************************************************
This site aims to provide information on all the ships,
voyages and seafarers of the East India Company's mercantile
services.
- ships (construction details, owners, service history, ultimate
fate)
- seafarers (sea service, ships served on, personal details,
biographies)
- voyages (dates of voyages, crew, ports of call, wrecks, captured,
missing)
There is also scope for information to be
added to the the site which has been provided by people from their
own research; all contributions will be acknowledged.
At present, it is the ships
section which is being worked on. Well, it's a start...
