The Lloyd’s Register

Lloyd’s Register of Yachts 1878 – 1980

The Association of Yachting Historians, with the active support of Lloyd’s Register Group Ltd., has scanned the entire series of Lloyd’s Register of Yachts (94 volumes), which was published annually from 1878 to 1980, except during the two World Wars.  After extensive research the Association has brought together not only all the published volumes but also all the associated annual supplements which were published during the course of each year (some 158 supplements were issued).  Click here for more details
