The
Historic Shipping
Website

I started researching shipping over fifty years ago by looking up the N.Z.S.Co's ships, then helping the N.Z.S.Co. Association with their book 'Crossed Flags'. Most of the information on this Web Site is from old newspapers stored in various libraries. Over this time I have collected many things associated with shipping, pictures, stories, facts and figures which go back many years. Some of the facts are tragic, some are humorous, and I hope you will enjoy them, as I did collecting them. C.J.C.
