Cumulative indexes

In September 2015 the Nautical Association announced four new LOG indexes which together greatly enhance the value of THE LOG as a research tool. The indexes enable ready access to illustrations and the wealth of historic and other maritime information published in 273 issues of THE LOG, over 61 years from 1954 to the end of 2014. Click the links below for indexes:

  • Index of Fleets and Classes 1954-2014
    Merchant ship companies (owners, managers, agents and builders) with history and fleet or yard lists (or part thereof), merchant ship fleets, general categories, and naval vessel classes
    (24 pages, 0.9MB pdf).

All four indexes will be maintained on this website for viewing and free downloading, and will be updated from time to time. The indexes refer to THE LOG issue number and page. Please see tables below to determine the date and year for each issue number. The relevant tables for each index are also included at the back of each index.
Indexes have been prepared for the NAA by Tony Cavanagh. The Articles Index is an updated version of that produced by Buster Browne for the period 1954-2003, issued in 2004 by the NAA in hard copy form. The Association thanks both for their work in preparing these most useful Indexes.
