First some general links. And lower down on the page, some links to the sites of some Sunderland area historical societies which often have most
extensive history & image archives.
 |
An enormous website about WW2 merchant ships.
Their convoy service, ports of call, etc. Incorporates the 'Arnold Hague' convoy
data base. A site extensively accessed by this site re convoy data.
I must however recommend that you access the site no more than 12 times. Because if you do you will be considered, as is the webmaster, to be 'mining'
'convoyweb' data for profit purposes. |
| Ellis Island Immigrant Records |
Go here to search the Ellis Island immigration records for
your family members. You need to register - easily accomplished.
|
| Great Ships |
The site of Jeff Newman,
who features his wonderful ship postcard
collection in high quality images! |

The 'Miramar Ship Index' is an historical database of ships of over 100 tons including powered, naval & sail. An amazing 236,621 ships
currently listed. You must be registered now to access any page. Go to Miramar (here)

| scott-base |
The e-Bay store of U.K. (Gloucestershire) vendor 'scott-base', who
sells marine images & consistently provides not only good images but also
summary data re a vessel's history. Few vendors choose to do that. Do drop by &
see what he has for sale today. |

An amazing resource, since 1999, for those who search for data about particular
vessels or steamship lines. And a host of other maritime matters too. |
 |
The
photographic website of Andy Martin, entitled 'This Is Sunderland'. Interesting
images, available for viewing & for purchase, in
many areas including 'Shipyards' & the 'River Wear'. |

The website of 'Titanic International Society', a
non-profit historical organization founded in 1989 to preserve the memory & history of the
Titanic. |
 |
Lots of Titanic related data on this fine site! Check out the
'Titanic-Titanic.com' site map. |
| Maritime History Resources |
A list of
maritime history resource sites, maintained by a group of Delaware students. |
And next, some links to the websites of Sunderland area historical societies,
listed in alphabetical sequence. There probably are more such societies. I will
add them in as I see references to their sites again.
