Links and other information about ships and sailors
The West Glamorgan Archive Service has a fine collection of shipping records for ships registered at Swansea and Port Talbot. It is important to note that the Archive Service only has records relating to vessels registered locally in West Glamorgan.
Your subject of interest may be a ship or the crew who sailed on her: the main records we hold about ships are shipping registers, transaction registers and registration papers. Crew agreements can be used for studying the history of a ship or for searching for details of the crew.
This page contains information about the shipping records held at the West Glamorgan Archive Service and also links to other relevant websites.
