This web site is primarily concerned with documenting the construction records of individual U.S. and Canadian shipbuilders and boatbuilders, but it also includes data on the construction of ships in U.S. yards by type, and on current activities in the U.S. and Canadian shipbuilding and shipping industries.  Many of the tables have gaps in the data: please send additions and corrections to TimColton@aol.com.
