Northern Shipwreck Research (NSR) is pleased to announce that as of March 3rd our shipwreck database has reached the amazing number of 40,000 records. If you are looking for info on a particular shipwreck, we offer free access as follows.... WHO: Northern Shipwreck Research has been accumulating wreck info since 1979. The result is a database of more than 40,000 North American wrecks. WHERE: This database, encompassing the area between the 40th degree north latitude and the Arctic, deals with the North Atlantic, Central (Great Lakes area +) and the Pacific Northwest waters. Wrecks cover more than 400 years from the 1500's to present. INFO RECALL: Wrecks can be recalled by name of vessel, year/date of loss, region of loss, coordinates, and/or official number (some cases). Each wreck record has approximately 35 data fields (not all used) detailing most aspects of the vessel along with source reference(s). ACCESS: If you would like some wreck information, forward a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) by snail mail to Northern Shipwreck Research. IMPORTANT: Be sure to provide as much info as possible about each wreck sought to ensure the best possible match (ie: there are more than 100 different vessels named MARY listed in the database). INSIDE CANADA: Forward a SASE (#10) for 5 wrecks or less, or a 9" x 12" SASE for up to 20 wrecks. OUTSIDE CANADA: If you reside outside of Canada (as the SASE is of no use), please replace the SASE with $1 (5 wrecks or less) or $2 (up to 20 wrecks) to cover cost of the stamp and envelope. RETURNS: In return, a `print-screen' rough of the wreck record matching each request will be forwarded. SNAIL MAIL: All requests should be via snail mail. By the net would require our accessing the net to receive your request, then exiting to search database, and then accessing the net again and spending about 15 minutes per wreck to key-in data - a little impractical. P.S. Please include your e-mail address in case we have questions about your request. P.P.S. If you would like to assist in this research, send e-mail. * - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * | David N.
