Mr W Allen and his son Frank took about 60 years to gather this collection of 5,141 photos of Merchant Navy ships.
The collection was saved from obscurity by a group of dedicated volunteers who wanted to make it available to everyone with an interest in the Merchant Navy.
The Allens catalogued most of the photographs and recorded details of the ships on the back and at this stage of the project, the information is reproduced exactly as it was recorded by them. There are a number of known errors in the data and I intend to extend it based on the more accurate information that is now available though this will be a long job. Nearly all the images are original photographs; just a few are postcards.
