The British Merchant Navy. Before the steam engine was used to power ships mariners relied on the wind and a full sail to reach their destinations. "Days of Sail" remembers the days of the sailing ships that beat their way round the world to bring home the tea, wool, grain and other cargoes to this island. This covers sailing ships to the "colonies". Worth a look.

The Ships ListThere were a great many companies involved in the ocean trade. The following 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. This information has been extracted from various sources and should only be used as a guide.
Please Note: These pages are under construction. Not all lines are complete and some are still in the works.
