TheShipsList Email Discussion List is for anyone interested in the ships on which our ancestors emigrated. Subjects include emigration & immigration, port of entries, ports of departure, ship descriptions and history, passenger lists and any other related information, such as naturalization and border records. There are about 2,000 subscribers worldwide and many fulltime members who have a great deal of knowledge and expertise in the area of emigration, ships, passengers lists, etc. They are ready and willing to assist and guide you on your search.
TheShipsList mail list is available to subscribers only, so you must subscribe in order to post a query to the list and receive the list mail and/or digest. After subscribing, you will receive a "Welcome Message" containing confirmation of your subscription, and which also includes the correct address to use to post your query to the list members, so it is recommended that you save this message.
You can choose to receive list mail in List Mode (individual messages) or Digest Mode (the same mail in the form of an indexed digest). List Mode members receive, by default, a copy of any message they post to the list. TheShipsList email list can generate a lot of mail, so you may want to consider Digest Mode.
