Hi Bob, Many thanks for this posting it would be very valuable to many I'm sure, if we could now find if any of the ships register are around maybe we could start putting a few things together and come up with some un-answered questions that so many people might have? So may I put it to the members dose anyone know of any register existing of any of the ships listed below that Bob has been so kind to record for us? Regards, Ray.
