Footnotes
edit- ^ Name of ship. Where a ship had more than one name in the course of its career, the names are presented sequentially, with the last two digits of the year in which the name change took place displayed, where available, after the name. Names followed by a "(y)" are yard names.
- ^ Type of vessel. The generic term "steamer" is used in this column where it is not clear from the sources whether the vessel was a steamboat or a steamship.
- ^ Year of ship launch, where available, otherwise year of completion.
- ^ Ship tonnage. Tonnages will be in either tons burthen or gross register tonnage. Sources rarely indicate which form of tonnage is being employed.
- ^ Individual or business entity that ordered the ship.
