OTHER STUFF
Each gallery will open in a new window - just close that window when you want to move on to the next letter. Some vessel have no name - only a number or I may have no record of the name. Fishing Vessels with only a registration number listed under ‘Fishing Vessels’. Naval Vessels with only a registration number listed under ‘Naval Vessels’. Submarines with only a registration number listed under ‘Submarines’. Use the complete picture list list or the search box to search for pennant numbers. From the site stats it is clear that some people are searching again and again using a search engine - this is silly - why not set up a shortcut on your desktop or taskbar. Likewise some of you have not sussed out that when using the search with links facility, you can switch between ships with the same name using the navigation arrows over the picture - there is no need to keep on going back to the links list!!
Browse the Galleries with thumbnails
Each page of thumbnail images has 5 columns and 50 rows, making 250 images per thumbnail page. Some letters e.g. the letter X have only one thumbnail page whereas some letters have over 20. Use the small arrows at the top of the page to move to the next page of thumbnails or directly go to a particular thumbnail page by clicking on a number in the row of numbers along the top of the thumbnails. Each letter of thumbnails will open in a new window. Just close that window to return to the main navigation menu to move on to the next letter. Click on a thumbnail to see an enlarged image. You can search the current thumbnail page by using key ‘F3’.

GENERAL INFORMATION
I do not sell old ship pictures and postcards - please do not ask me!!
Buy Old Ship Pictures and postcards
The pictures galleries are sized to be displayed on a 1024x768 screen resolution or above. If your resolution is less than this you will have to use your scroll bars or mouse wheel to see all the page. Many computers are set for a low resolution as a default setting, so it is worth checking.
List of all the pictures on this site
A good way to see if the picture you are looking for is on the site is to use the complete list of pictures. This is just a pdf text list but you can use the powerful Adobe Reader search facility to search all the list. This is a large list and will take several moments to load. You can also easily search for parts of a picture name, for example if you want to find all pictures with ‘Maru’ in the name, just enter ‘Maru’ into the search box and you will get a list of all the pictures containing ‘Maru’. Unlike the ‘Google’ site search you can search for parts of a name which do not form a full word.
These are nothing to do with me and may not be available all the time.
Ship Registers
This is a list of the shipping companies represented in the Old Ship Galleries. This is just a list of the companies I know of and there are probably many more that I don’t know of.
