This is a WikiProject, an open group of Wikipedia editors. New participants are welcome; feel free to talk to us!

Shortcuts

Welcome to WikiProject Ships on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to ships of all types and eras. The project scope spans both naval and civilian ships, and articles on individual ships, ship classes, and other ship related topics are welcome.

About us

WikiProject Ships is a group with a common interest in ships of all types and an international collection of participants. If you would like to join us, please feel free to sign up and help with ship articles. And don't worry – we get along more like an America's Cup match than Monitor and Merrimack (left). The project was featured in the 28 June 2010 issue of The Signpost.

As of 2 November 2025, there are 56,043 articles within the scope of WikiProject Ships, of which 342 are featured and 2,001 are good articles. This makes up 0.79% of the articles on Wikipedia, 2.96% of all featured articles and lists, and 4.66% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 178,610 pages in the project.

Getting started

The sidebar on this page contains links to all project documentation, including our guidelines, tools and templates, and a resource list.

Content

To improve ship-related content throughout Wikipedia, the project uses Assessment and Review processes. Ship-related content is tagged by including the Project Banner on each article's discussion page.

Content that is of outstanding quality can be nominated for consideration under one of the featured content processes: articles, pictures, lists, sounds, topics, and portals.

Featured articles

These articles within the project scope have attained featured article (FA) status, and serve as examples of the quality of writing we aim to produce.
