A newly revised version of our list of UK Naval and maritime museums has
been made available for ftp, www, etc, thanks to Dr Glen Segell of Kings
College London. The list is enlarged to 179 museums or museum-ships with
an appendix listing 188 historic vessels (mostly small craft in museum
collections). Many museum entries have been revised.
The text file is a long one: 102221 bytes and over 2600 lines. It can be
retrieved entire by anonymous ftp from the same address as the previous
version:
ftp mailbase.ac.uk
Name: anonymous
Password: give your e-mail address
* ftp> binary
ftp> cd /pub/lists-f-j/history-sources/files
ftp> get maritime-museums
* Note: as it is a 7-bit ASCII text file, it is only necessary to set
mode to binary for some receiving systems.
The file is also browsable on WWW, but note that it is a flat file of
131 screen "pages", not a hypertext document. The WWW URL is:
gopher://nisp.ncl.ac.uk/11/lists-f-j/history-sources/files
select: (FILE) maritime-museums
(In each case there is also a file of UK military museums in the same)
(directory. This was last revised in March '95 and placed in this )
(directory in August by Dr Segell. It is also a big file: 107483 )
(bytes, or 150 "pages" on a WWW browser. Both files include Naval )
(museums, so there is a degree of overlap. )
Both files are in the public domain and may be freely used distributed
and copied for non-profit-making purposes.
Please send information concerning corrections of errors, additions and
deletions to us at: 18-09-95
