These are the same counted units and category assignments used in the summary snapshot, calculated 17 Sep 2026, 11:10 BST. Names are not automatically reconciled to unique vessels or people. Pagination shows 30 at a time; it does not limit the full result set.
Research links, with the original viewing rules. Source links open the existing archive pages. Sign-in, resolution permissions, copyright, attribution and usage restrictions still apply. Orde links show independent research summaries—not source images or source text. No protected image or OCR is reproduced here. Where no exact source match is stored, that gap is stated rather than inventing a reference.
