Marchant shipping

Post by Historiker »

Does anyone know a website with Allied, Russian and Axis civilian ships in WW2?

Try this site, too.  http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/index.htm
 
It lists merchant shipping by the owning company so you end up needing to parse each company for who was in business and then cover some mergers and sales of ships between lines, but you can build a civilian OOB for most of the maritime nations.  The fate of the various ships is also listed.  I noticed that the Japanese were buying a lot of end-of-life European ships in the 1920s, but I haven't used this for WW2 period research.
