The information given in this database is entered here as it is on the document or documents in the Maine Maritime Museum collections. The spelling of the mariner’s name may be wrong, the arithmetic may be wrong, and some descriptions may be thoughtless or not politically correct, but they are shown as found. We have attempted to standardize the names and descriptions of vessels and the spelling of place names. We have tried to include in notes fields important information that does not fit in the standard fields.

This is a database of mariners, not vessels, so we have purposely not made special efforts to add large amounts of information about the vessels. However, additional information can often be obtained about voyages and vessels, from reference material in the collections of the Maine Maritime Museum reference library. Some published resources, such as the Record of American and Foreign Shipping and the New York Maritime Register, may be available in many other repositories also.
