19.10 劳氏船级社
劳氏船级社(Lloyd's Register of Shipping)[1]在这里值得一提,因为它反映了这一时期船舶建造的重要变革。最早的船名录记载了1764年、1765年及1766年仍在航行的船舶,按船体及设备分类,发行的对象是海上保险商,他们将其当作私人服务,而不是公开发行的出版物。这份船名录给出了约4500艘船的详细情况,包括几艘400—600吨船,2艘800吨船,1艘900吨船。
1800年的名录中有8271艘船。1813年的名录中出现了铁缆,1822年出现了一艘蒸汽船“詹姆斯·瓦特号”(James Watt,294吨)。1827年的名录中有81艘蒸汽船,1832年的名录中有100艘。1834年,一个代表商人、船主和海上保险商的永久性的委员会成立,并与利物浦船舶名录展开了竞争。1836年的名录中第一次出现了关于“用铁建造”的描述,1854年该委员会与造船主合作拟定出铁船建造的规范。劳氏船级社的船舶分类规范,对于提高船舶建造实践、检验已有很大作用的预防海难的设备具有极大的价值。
