Slow Boat Records buy, sell and trade* both new & used records and CDs and other music-related items and have been a Wellington institution pretty much forever, not to mention (in our old premises) long-time neighbours and friends. Luckily for our bank accounts they are now 3 entire blocks away and not 10 metres across the street, but this shouldn't put you off, especially as you can let your fingers do the walking with their comprehensive online catalogue.

The Miramar Ship Index is an historical database listing both merchant powered ships of about 100 gross register tons and above, and naval ships of even smaller tonnage.
Actually, to be entirely correct this is not just a database, but THE database of ships in the world. Rodger was bored and wanted something to do....
This database is added to daily and updated monthly.
