tasteach added a discussion to the group Australian Ships
Book resources you could use for lookups regarding ships
To get some discussion going in this forum, could members make a list of reference books you have at home that you could do lookups regarding ships in Australian waters. Make sure you mention which state the book mainly refers to and check the previous replies so titles are not repeated.This would then share the load among the members. Also mention if the book is indexed and whether sources for images etc are included.See More
