Hi to the list,   I have just sent an e-mail to Tim Latham at the address Paul gives but it has been returned.   I don't give up easily so will post any results!!   Regards,   Jean Spencer ________________________________ From: Paul Benyon <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 24 September 2013, 23:51 Subject: Re: [MAR] Paul's list Hi to List Have written to Jean off-list, to the effect that the web site owner of mightyseas.co.uk is or was a list member, per the list archives for 2012 ?  But that in the interim she might like to try the web site's archives which appear to have been collected by the WayBack machine : http://archive.org/details/texts which have produced the following example for 2012 http://web.archive.org/web/20120415000418/http://www.mightyseas.co.uk/marhist/furness/furness_index.htm but they go back to 2003, so I have no idea how complete the archives may be.....i.e. I get the feeling that some web sites may be far from complete.....? but they often visited a website several times a year, whether there had been any updates or not. To find more examples in put the site address : http://www.mightyseas.co.uk/ into the search box and select the WayBack Machine in the adjacent options box and search.  Once you are on the results page, click the graph, say for 2006 and this will produce a calendar with the dates the site was visited ....click on the date for the results for that visit......hope that makes sense.
