Nolen's list as a boats history map is a good theory . . .

. . . if Bill were to keep changes in ownership on the list, but many old listings have been removed.

This string seems to indicate that users of the list believe it more accurate than the author intended . . . how about adding a preamble of sorts to clearly indicate the author's intent, and a possibly a disclaimer for accuracy. It seems to me that the list would be more useful if a date were to accompany each entry to indicate when the data had been last confirmed. A user could then make some judgment about the reliability of the entry data. These mods to the list would go a long way toward eliminating any confusion.
