Latest or fixed? "Always the latest" follows our newest release, including corrections. A fixed version shows a snapshot that never changes, which suits archived articles; it will not receive corrections.

Methodology
Reads the latest release of the Gloucester lost at sea, year by year dataset. Readers choose names recorded (all, fishing, trading) or vessels (named, lost with entire crew), by year or by decade, and a range of years.
Limitations
- Counts come from one register that its own compilers call incomplete; see the dataset page.
