Presently we have a listing of just over 85,200 vessels, mostly compiled from the “List of Merchant Vessels of the United States” (MVUS) for the years 1867 to 1885. A couple of other lists have been added to this. These include: WPA Custom House records for Bath, Maine; Frenchman’s Bay, Maine; Marsh- field, Oregon; New Bedford, Massachusetts, and New Orleans, Louisiana; The Record of Canadian Shipping; Robert Applebee’s notes; and notes compiled on New England shipwrecks by noted shipwreck diver, Bradford Luther, Jr. Currently working on 'Version 3' after adding more lists and now updat- ing and correcting errors and removing duplicates, which should expand the number of vessels to over 125,000 vessels.
