Lloyd's Register: Decoding the Clarence

Lloyd's Register: Decoding the Clarence

 

 
 
 

     Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping was a massive shipping catalog run by a large number of "surveyors" who sought to provide a comprehensive list of British and foreign ships on the waters as well as their important characteristics, such as date built, current captain, or destination. This catalog was published every year and, using it, we can gain some valuable insight into the Clarence. Let's take a look! Click the catalog below to begin!

     Don't worry! I've got you covered. If you're itching to get your hands on more entries of the Clarence in Lloyd's, feast your eyes below on my compilation of all entries from 1858-1893. Or, if you're looking for the raw material, head on over to the Hathi Trust where they have digitized versions of the originals!
