| INTRODUCTION
|
The
Through Mighty Seas website covers the maritime history of the merchant
sailing ships of the North West of England and the Isle of Man, through
the period from the late 1700's until the First World War. There are histories
of more than 950 ships, indexed by region, and over 100 historic photographs.
The history covers
the area from Lancaster to the S of Morecambe Bay, and the Cumbrian coast
to the Solway Firth, and includes the Isle of Man. The main content is
individual ship histories, but also included is information on shipbuilders,
shipyards, lifeboats, sea captains and mariners, shipping lines and other
maritime history information. The site deals only with merchant sailing
ships, but there are links (below) to other sites covering steamships and
the Royal Navy.
