This website contains details of every ship built in Hartlepool and West Hartlepool from the 1830s to the 1960s when the last shipyards closed. The amount of information varies, but where possible includes: ship specifications, owners, Masters, crew lists, photographs, plans and any other information that helps build a full history of each vessel.
The voluneers operating the site are also seeking more information, and invite any relevant photographs, objects or simply memories of any Hartlepool-built ships.

Hi there, it’s probably best if you contact the Archive team to confirm your advance orders, either by email: manuscripts@nmm.ac.uk, or by telephone: +44 (0)208 312 6516. It is possible to order up to 15 manuscript and 15 library items held offsite per appointment. On the day of your visit you can also ask to view Rare Books held here onsite at the Museum, and any of the books in the Library’s reading room.
