I joined the ships list. They talked about size of ships and cargo, etc., little else. They did post urls to lists of ships. Good if you have the name. TheShipsList-L@rootsweb.com Then I joined the mariners list. Much better for finding people. Mariners-L@rootsweb.com Also I joined the pirates list. (; Some people don'e believe in them. PIRATES-L@rootsweb.com Then, I am on the Shipwrecks list. Divers and treasure hunters. (: SHIPWRECK-L@rootsweb.com Actually these urls came from one or the other of the others. So in many ways they are helpful. I did enjoy the ships list especially the little trips around the docks of Liverpool by d.a.h.yates. They are precious.
