ShipIndex.org........ Want to see the ship your ancestor arrived on?

 Never heard of ShipIndex? Well happy January gift to you!

Founder Peter McCracken and his team, based in Ithaca, New York, have created a website offering over 3,000,000 citations (pictures of ships!!) and offers nearly 2000 learning resources. Here is a snip from their Resources page:

I know you cannot really read this but there are over 12 L-O-N-G pages of references for your learning and most of them are free. Subscriptions are $22 for three months; $35 for six months; and $65 for one year. (Gonna have surgery? Gonna need to housesit or stay with a declining relative? Wouldn't this help you get through those days??) 

ShipIndex.org includes a listing for anything that carried cargo and/or people and sailed under any country's flag. 

Just for fun, I typed in Titanic, never realizing that there might be other ships with that name:

Royal Titanic (Recreational; Cape Fear, NC; built 1979; 14 gross tons)

So something maybe new for you in 2024..... enjoy and learn!
