*For editions not available online, ''The Navy List'' is available at the British Library, UIN: BLL01012418229, from 1815, and also in the Library of the [[The National Archives|National Archives]], from November 1814. For the First and Second World Wars, there were two versions, with the confidential versions available in ADM 177, as Archive records, see above, rather than in the TNA Library.
:The earlier ''Steel's Original and Correct list of the Royal Navy'' is available at the British Library, UIN: BLL01001116981 (classified as a Journal) with editions to 1816, with additional catalogue entries classified as a Book). The National Archives has a catalogue entry [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13374272 18th Century Royal Navy Lists 1782, 1790-1799] [Steel's Royal Navy Lists] QLIB 3. National Archives Library. The Lists were published monthly during war and quarterly during peace, and include details of ships of the Honourable East-India Company. Previously it was stated that all years were available as a pay download, however this wording does not currently appear (2019/11).
: The British Library has published a guide: [https://www.bl.uk/britishlibrary/~/media/subjects%20images/government%20publications/pdfs/service-list-army-navy.pdf?la=en "Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force"], including Lists of Ships, from the mid 1600s. This is a download, which you will probably need to locate in your downloads folder. The Navy List was mostly a quarterly publication, (with some gaps) but from August 1870 to March 1924 was also published monthly[but most likely not the months when there was a quarterly publication]. From 1949 it became an annual publication.
