I have found three very good sites on the Internet for passenger lists
and UK
maritime history. They seem to be doing a good job of regularly adding
more ;
and they have some excellent links sections.
Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild -
http://www.immigrantships.net/
[Best
for passenger lists]
TheShipsList -
http://www.theshipslist.com/ [Good passenger lists ; best
for
*detail* - ship description, reports on causes of emigration, etc.]
If you know the name of the ship or the master, you could try
www.mightyseas.co.uk
These were sent to another list for someone looking for immigrant ships
and arrivals to US, Canada and other destinations
