Instructions

Most fields are self explanatory. Those meriting further instruction are listed below.

Alternate or Sub Title

Often used to translate foreign languages. Please list the native language as the main title and the translation as the alternate title. For example, Title = Krigsmuseet / Sub Title = Danish War Museum. This field may also be used for any other suitable means. As one example, it can be used to list the original name of the vessel if different than it’s current one. For example: Title = Edmeé S.  / Sub Title = (ex. Cecelia Mae).

Museum Type

Select the appropriate type. Contact the administrator if a new type is needed.

Subject Type

This field is shown only when the museum type is a ship. It is a hierarchical list. Please select the most specific applicable category and all of its antecedants. This helps with searching by type, as the system does not imply antecendents in a search. For instance, if you select only “Aircraft Carrier” and someone searches for “Steel Navy” hoping to find all modern navy vessels, the aircraft carrier will not be listed. But if you select both “Steel Navy” and “Aircraft Carrier”, the ship will be included in searches for “Steel Navy” and/or “Aircraft Carrier”.

Contact the administrator if a new subject type is needed.

Propulsion Type

This field is shown only when the museum type is a ship. It is a hierarchical list. Please select the most specific applicable category and all of its antecedants. This helps with searching by type, as the system does not imply antecendents in a search. For instance, if you select only “Steam Turbine” for your WWII cruiser and someone searches for “Engine” hoping to find all engine-powered vessels, the cruiser will not be listed. But if you select both “Engine” and “Steam Turbine”, the ship will be included in searches for “Engine” and/or “Steam Turbine”.

Contact the administrator if a new propulsion type is needed.

Era

This field is shown only when the museum type is a ship. When appropriate, select the appropriate time period.
