The Internet continually surprises me. After 8 years of working on this project I continue to come across new sources of information. Last month it was the Admirality Marine Data (which I am still processing). This month it is the Ufficio Storico Della Marina Militare (Historical Office of the Navy), a multi-volume history and accounting of the Regia Marina, the Royal Italian Navy. The document is available in English from the Internet Archive for viewing or download.
In terms of updates to the sunken ships database, the following changes were made in February:
- 16 records added
- 175 moved to new (and better) locations
- 9 records edited
Also created in February were the timelapse video of all the sunken ships and the Find a Ship! app.
As always, be sure to check out the database through the dashboard.
