An update of our list of maritime and naval museums in Britain and Ireland has now been uploaded to the same site as before. The new version lists about 220 museums, with an appendix of about 290 historic vessels (mostly boats within museum collections). The full file, which has about 3650 lines and takes over 60 pages to print out, is at the same URL as before: http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists-f-j/history-sources/files/maritime-museums Anyone who wishes to read/download only a section of the whole list, should use the HTML index at: http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists-f-j/history-sources/files/mar-museums.html One can also retrieve the whole file, or any of the parts, by anonymous ftp from this address: ftp ftp.mailbase.ac.uk directory: /pub/lists-f-j/history-sources/files The full file is called maritime-museums. There are also the 10 part files there, covering 8 geographical regions of the british archipelago as well as an Introduction and list of vessels.
