G'day Folks,

Please treat the "recommended" web site with caution - I believe the right
intentions are there but it can be misleading. Nowhere does it show which
web sites are being searched, hence you will never know which web sites you
should also check that aren't included here. Does that make sense??

Having checked out the Australian and NZ Ships Search, at this stage it's
99.9% NZ Ships and of the 99.9%, about 90% are from only three web sites.

I'm not suggesting that this site is a rip-off - there is no attempt to
charge or benefit from people using it - I just caution people that if you
use this site, you still need to check all other sites too! And of course
it can't check any sites that themselves have a search engine to a database
in the background - it's only searching web pages that include passenger
lists as part of the text.

Regards ..... Susie Z
