Sadly there is no Lloyds for this period online as you say.

There is a partial list of merchant vessels at the end of the Janes 1914, at least in the reprint edition.

Assume it was in the original.

Lloyd's Register of Shipping is out of copyright through the 1922/1923 edition in the United States. If you live in the US, you can view those editions online via the Hathi Trust. They may be geoblocked from other countries though.

Interesting, although I do not see any register actually digitized for anything post 19th Century.

Perhaps looking in the wrong place?

This should get you to the list.

Many thanks to both of you.

 

I found the listing of "fast" steamers 12k or more on pages 1007-21 by shipping company.

A great resource.

Much appreciated.
