Transcribed from Notes made by Alf Jenkins (author of The Scillonian and His Boat)

Some writing is not at all easy to read and so there may be errors on my part.

Although Alf Jenkins’ pages are numbered continuously, there is a gap of ships not having been registered between 1872 and 1911.

Others are described in the Ships Built on the Isles of Scilly pages.

Note Registry entries here, under fates, continue up until 1900.
