Another Useful Site - Shipbuilding History

If one is looking for some very detailed information on shipbuilding - albeit from a US or Canadian perspective - this site has a wealth of information.

Shipbuilding History has data tables on practically every US and Canadian shipyard active or inactive, with data, in many cases, down to the date of keel laying, date of launch and date of completion.

Oh! for a TARDIS to go back to when I started Wesworld with site rips from these sites! Pure gold.

Not Wishing to Forget Anyone...

Perhaps less useful from a technical point of view, Flotilla Australia has some very useful information on Australian merchant shipping, while excellent information and many photos of ships built in Scotland on the Clyde can be found here.

(drools) nice find

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Niehorster is very good. Another useful source for orbat is the Nafziger collection at the US Army's Combined Arms Research Library, here

CARL also has many other resources - albeit mainly with a US emphasis.
