Admin/Biographical History |
These historical registers were created by a group called the Inland Lloyds. They were used by insurance companies in determining vessel seaworthiness and whether, or how, to insure ships traveling on inland waters in Canada. These historic registers now provide information about some of the ships that stopped at Great Lakes ports. |
