ANOTHER MILESTONE REACHED
The vessel database has been updated and is now holding 95,457 vessel histories (with 16,524 images and 14,359 records of ship wrecks and marine disasters).
The mariner and naval biography database has also been updated and now contains 58,599 entries (with 4,007 images).
My thanks to Ray Warren who is beginning a long process of filling gaps in the photo record of the vessel histories in the vessel database. Ray has been documenting the ships of Vancouver Harbour for more than 60 years.
Thanks to our chief Canadian contributor, Mike Rydqvist McCammon, for the hundreds (approaching a thousand) of photos he continues to contribute to illustrate British Columbia’s floating heritage.
My very special thanks to our volunteer IT adviser, John Eyre, who (since 2021) has modernized, simplified and improved the update process for the databases into semi–automated processes. His participation has been vital to keeping the Nauticapedia available to our netizens.
Thanks to John Spivey (our US contributor) who is in his 4th year of fact checking all of the entries in the vessel database, one-by-one. This has resulted in thousands of updates and corrections which might never have occurred without his intervention.
