Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné Search Tips

By default the search function searches for an exact phrase within the "Description" section of each document. This section is displayed with the search results and can be used to determine the most useful format for further search requests.
Note: Search within the "Type/Engine" section to explore vessel types and propulsion systems (engines, boilers, propellers). Searching for vessel types in the "Type/Engine" section will not include any model information, unlike the case of searching for vessel types in the "Description" section.

Examples:

Model 0020 searches for model number (note: leading zeros)

Job5054 searches for job number (note: no space)

#437s searches for references to Colonia using her construction record number appended with the suffix "s" for "sail"

#150p searches for references to Ballymena using her construction record number appended with the suffix "p" for "power"

186407es searches for references to Qui Vive using a number created for this catalogue that consists of her building year, a running number, and the suffix "es" for "extra" (or "early") and "sail"
