The Fleets

There were a great many companies involved in the ocean trade. The following fleet list is not complete by any means, but is an attempt to collect the names of the companies, a brief history of each and the names of the vessels they used.

Please Note: These pages are under always construction. Not all fleets represented, are complete. Any feedback about errors or omissions are welcome, and should be sent to “); document.write(“Contact”); document.write(“”); ]]>

Many thanks to Ted Finch for his assistance in collecting this data. The following fleet lists were extracted from various sources. They are not inclusive, and should only be used as a guide. If you would like to know more about a vessel, visit the Ship Descriptions (onsite) or the Immigrant Ship web site.

General Information on the Fleets

Table format of the Fleets included below: Effective –April 22nd 2003– an additional column will be included in the Fleet tables, to separate the “built” date from the “owned” or “operated” date. As time permits, each Fleet will be revisited, and the table reformatted, however all new Fleets added will appear thus.
