Union Steam Ship Lists and indexes of ship accidents

Descriptive Data

Archives IdentifierAF085Date Range1914-1969DescriptionThis series has been created to contain various lists and indexes relating to steamer casualities, or as they were also called steamer/ ship accidents. There are several bound volumes, unnumbered files and loose lists collated into folders by date. The files on ship accidents to which these registers and lists refer were kept by the Company in date order, and access was by lists on file covers, and indexes and lists covering approximately a six month period. During the time when the Company records were under Wellington Maritime Museum management, the accidents files from 1914 to 1969 were rearranged by ships name and physically dispersed throughout the 'Ships' boxes - these are arranged alphabetically by name of ship. The ship accidents files from 1968/1969 onwards remain arranged in date order see Series AF0?? The file lists (some photocopies of file covers) and indexes were rearranged into a separate sequence by date. There are also files and lists with specific topics, 'Serious accidents fronm June 1914' to 1966, 'Accidents - Not reporting' , 1946-1973, and 'Marine mishaps' file 1955-1971. The last is a collation of monthly memorandum to the Board.Quantity (Linear Metres)0.25MediumFileSystem of ArrangementRoughly by dateCollection TypeWellington Museums Trust
