SHIPS IN UK PORTS 1881
INTRODUCTION
The 1881 Census contains details of many ships in UK ports. These records are useful for tracing seamen and passengers coming into or going out of the country.
For those who do not have easy access to the 1881 census the following pages give the details of the people concerned.
A new section of the site is now in progress. This will cover mariners at various shore establishments eg Royal Navy Barracks, Training Schools & Colleges, Seamen's Homes, Prisons etc. The following drop down menu can be used to access these records
The 1881 Ships in Port information has been transcribed by myself, by Delphine Sawden (Australia) (passed to me with Delphine's agreement by Yvonne Leck (UK)), by Fiona Mitford (UK) (passed to me by Shirley Gaunt in Australia) & others
Below is an index to the areas transcribed and, separately, to Royal Navy ships transcribed. The records DO NOT include ships at sea or in foreign ports, neither do they include ships in Scottish ports or coastal waters.
If you are searching for a specific person and do not know the ship concerned try my site search engine. Please bear in mind, though, that in many cases only initials are given not full names so when searching I would suggest that you start by searching for the full name and if this does not produce a result, try searching by surname only.
