"How can I get a list of ships that transported the tanks in WW1?"
Don't know why he/she wants it, but I assume that will include those via Southampton, the ferries from Richborough, and, of course, those sent to Gaza.
Anyone know where to start?

Oh, indeed. And many others are utterly gormless. But it might actually be mildly interesting to know. I assume the first 49 went via Soton, followed by more until Richborough came on stream. So it is an event, kind of. I might try some local history wallahs.

It's pretty easy nowadays to find out who or what something is.
Sorry. I forgot Avonmouth, but at least we know the name of the ship that took the Mk Is from there to Egypt; His Majesty's Transport Euripides.
And there's this, Southampton - Dieppe: http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/t-ships/trainferryno11917.html

I spend as much time as I can in archives so you don't have to tell me. But really I don't care what Q--- is and I can't be bothered to Google it. I gave you information so no need to snipe.
No sniping, Gwyn. It was just that you began as if writing a letter to the Daily Mail, which surprised me.
