Document types

The ship plan and survey report collection includes a wide range of document types, over 480 in fact! As our digitisation program continues we will upload even more to the website.

Please be aware there may be material within the Collection that contains imagery or information that some may find upsetting. The documents were produced within the context of the time and do not reflect the views or opinions of Lloyd's Register or the Lloyd's Register Foundation today.

The Centre's digitisation activities are ongoing and therefore some ships/documents from the collection may not yet be available.

Check out our bitesize Research guides for help using the collections. Please adhere to our Licencing and Terms of Use pages.
