Series in this section relate to individual vessels which were not built at the dockyard, or allocated a ship number by the dockyard, but whose records were included in the collection. Some of the vessels were refitted or repaired at the dockyard, and records of others were probably held for reference purposes. In most cases only one or a small number of series is held. The series are listed in chronological order.
