The Cunard archives at Liverpool University
temporarily offline early July 1998
May return at
this site,but first they said October/November 1998,
then Spring 1999,now nothing
Where the raw material for the above came from,though data on many
early ships was unfortunately entered by a clueless college student
who included only metric dimensions that were never used when the
ships were built...includes numerous White Star Line ships.
No search engine,but it has more information than the Cunard site
has room for for some ships.
