The Ship Gazetteer

Merchantman on Axad. Spotted by B Uslora. Great pic! 

Welcome to The Ship Gazetteer, an information portal maintained by dedicated crew of the The Shipping Enthusiasts Club, and the premier transport fanzine in Umbar. Here you will find interesting articles about notable vessels, what's new in ship design, and a like minded community of people who are just crazy on all things 'orbit side'.
