Registers and directories
Various Directories
British Corporation Register The British Corporation Register listed only the
ships classed by the British Corporation. For these data was
similar to that in Lloyd`s Register of Ships, with
extra detail on boilers and months of build. The British Corporation was formed in 1890 because some
shipbuilders and owners disagreed with certain of the rules of
Lloyd`s Register. It published the British Corporation
Register from 1893 until 1949, when it was amalgamated
with Lloyd`s Register of Ships. Some libraries have copies, including Lloyd`s Register [address]. Liverpool Underwriters` Registry for Iron
Vessels This lists a number of early iron vessels not included
in Lloyd`s Register of Ships, and gives some extra
details of ships. A dispute with Lloyd`s Register about the classification of
ships led to the publication of the Liverpool
Underwriters` Registry for Iron Vessels in 1862. It then
appeared annually until 1885, when it was merged
with Lloyd`s Register of Ships. From 1870, it lists
all British and some foreign seagoing iron vessels over 50 tons and
is particularly for on builders and ships` former names. Alongside
ships which had recently been lost, it prints brief details about
the casualty. From 1874, Liverpool Underwriters` Registry
for Iron Vessels included a list of vessels by owner`s
name, Lloyd`s Register of Ships following suit in
1876. Some libraries have copies, with the longest sequence being that
held by Lloyd`s Register. The World Ship Society [address] also
have some copies. Clarkson`s registers Clarksons began publishing registers in 1960, and their
publications now cover the world`s tankers, chemical tankers, bulk
carriers, refrigerated ships, container ships and liquid gas
carriers. Coverage of each type of vessel is similar to that
of Lloyd`s Register of Ships with some extra details,
such as fuel consumption.
