I've added a list of Milford registrations, 1940 - 1988, bringing coverage
of the Milford steam/motor fleet's century from 1888 to 1988 to virtual
completion. There are currently a few gaps, as two volumes of the Register
are missing from the Pembrokeshire Record Office. Thankfully I now have
another source from a privately compiled but very detailed and extensive
archive, which, even more importantly, included details of all the trawlers
regularly operating from Milford but registered in other ports. Such data
is virtually impossible to collect in any other dependable way. Additions
to the lists of such vessels will be made regularly.



I'll shortly be adding a list of losses by year, with links to further
information on the circumstances of the losses for selected ships,
transcribed from press reports.
