With the arrival of a full set of indents (digitised) from Public Record Office in London I am reviewing the entries for 1791 and 1792, adding some additional information. These will be updated as each indent is checked. Work continues on preparing the remaining Ship's lists for uploading and, as each ship is completed they will be uploaded to the site.

Archived Site News
2 February 2012 - Over 200 complete ship indents have now been rechecked against the indents and loaded to this site
19 January 2012 - All but three of the ships that arrived in 1817 have been uploaded to the site
9 November 2010 - Prospective members will now need to be validated by the site manager. This is necessary to prevent a recent spate of retail postings being placed on the site. For the same reason the capability to create and/or contribute to Blogs on this site has been temporarily suspended.

4 January 2011 - A problem has been identified with the picture galleries. Photos may appear to upload but they do not display. We are looking into the cause for this and will advise when it has been resolved. FIXED
