ship features spreadsheet :: View Single Post

I don't know if this is the right forum for this but I would like to propose a shared project, just not a ship model.

I am currently reading "Frigates of the Napoleonic Wars" and it occures to me that it would be helpful to all modellers and historians to have an Excel spreadsheet that listed all ships between lets say 1750 and 1850, sorted by nation, Navy or civilian. With tabs on each feature (Hull, deck equipment, Sail plan and features, auxilary boats, and I am open to other featurs that would be helpfull, books referenced (number of book next to each piece of information, book listings on last tab)

I envision that a modeller take the existing spreadsheet and add information from a book that he ownes, and then reposts the spreadsheet after review by a central authority, for others to work with.

any suggestions please, lets see if this would fly
