ShipIndex.org is best for vessels that aren't particularly famous. Sure, you'll find dozens or hundreds of entries for Titanic or Lusitania, but the best use of ShipIndex.org is for finding out about vessels that are mentioned in just one or two resources. It might take you years of traveling to research libraries and searching through their holdings to find these references. Well, until ShipIndex.org, that is.
Professional and occasional genealogists will find fantastic uses for the site when trying to learn more about a specific vessel on which an individual traveled, served, or worked. And since there's no central index, resource, or database that focuses on maritime history, academics will find this site invaluable in locating information about obscure vessels.
The ShipIndex.org database has more content than you can shake a large stick at. Books, magazines, websites, CD-ROMs, and lots more. See the complete list here.
In most cases, information regarding illustrations, main entries, or other notations in the original index are included here. Click on the link for the resource title, on the results page, to learn more about the citations.
