Wooden Ships and Barges

Most recent update: August 13, 2008.

Towards the end of the war, contracts were placed for over 1000 wooden ships and barges, but most of the contracts were cancelled and only 589 ships were completed.  Most of these were scrapped in the 1920s.  There is very little information on what happened to these vessels and this table will probably never be completed.
