The Merchant Fleet of Late Medieval and Tudor England, 1400–1580

This is a map of all the English and Welsh ports in the database. You can make more nuanced searches of the database by using the simple and advanced search options in the tool bar. To use the map mouse over a cluster to reveal a list of port names (bottom of map); click a cluster to zoom. Click a port (or its name in list) to show its details and voyages.

Choose columns by checking categories, or selecting individual uncategorized items from the multiple select (just click to toggle a column). Click on a heading to sort by that column, or reverse the order. Some columns link to show all the voyages associated with that value.
