History and Photography The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, commonly known as DANFS, is the foremost reference regarding US naval vessels. Filling eight volumes, it gives histories for virtually every US naval vessel. To make DANFS accessible to a larger number of people, we are working to put all DANFS ship histories online through this site. Currently the online collection includes over 3500 ship histories, and more are being added. These files are faithfully transcribed Andrew Toppan is the project manager, volunteer coordinator and web archive maintainer. Naval Vessel Register is the "Official Inventory of US Naval Ships and Service Craft." It contains technical specifications for many ships now or formerly in the American naval fleet.

The Great Lakes Shipwreck File 1679 - 1998 by Dave Swayze Maritime History of the Great Lakes This site is an ongoing experiment in the design of a "digital library", a collection of documents intended to be of value to those researching Great Lakes History. Maritime History Research on the Internet Sailing Ships Fredrik Sandström Data Base Schooner Man Information Exchange From 1799 to 1819 more than 1,000 pages of British naval news and views were published every year in The Naval Chronicle, including action reports, intelligence of foreign naval matters, and biographies of officers. In short, it was the most important original account of the naval part of the Napoleonic Wars. Outside the major libraries the 40 volumes of The Naval Chronicle are not generally available. This new consolidated edition, in five volumes, contains all the most significant material from the originals, including Admiral Nelson's only autobiographical record.
