Guide to Lloyd’s Marine Collection and Related Marine Sources at the Guildhall Library (3rd Edition)

Description

(compiled by D T Barriskill)  This book reviews the collection of both manuscripts and printed books dealing with marine insurance and associated matters.  Perhaps the most important is the Register, an annual list of vessels giving many details of the vessels current at the time of listing.  The list has many appendices, such as lists of changes of name, lists of qualified master and mates, and lists of East India Company ships.

Each of the records is explained with information about the period covered by each type of record.

85 pages.  Soft covers.
