Malinda,
At the Library's Web site, go to Digital Library Program, then click on
Virginia History and Culture, then on Virginia Colonial Records Project. The
"pull down" menu of types of searches (I believe that Keyword is the
default) give the option of searching on ship names.

Hello John,
How did you do your "ship name" search ? I went to the site and couldn't
find a suitable portal. I would like to do a "ship name" search on "The
Concord
of Virginia", which at one time was owned by Francis Wright.
Thank you.......~malinda jones
