* Boats marked with an asterisk are believed to be extant today. Due to their early disposal and diverse subsequent history some boats have lost their original identity. Several had their cabins removed towards the end of their working lives by carriers such as Ernest Thomas, thus losing traceable details such as gauge plates. More recently several former boats have been re-commissioned and some of these have been identified by hearsay, elimination or guess work. As such the name they currently carry cannot always be guaranteed to be a true identity. This list is based on names currently being displayed on each boat, or where the identity has been established by specific research.
