I have just been looking at
Danish Asia Company and notice the references in the Danish Wiki article have not transferred. I can work through the list of ships and give references to Orlogmuseet database where available, but it might be better to pull your references to Klem through to the English article. Any thoughts on this? mvH

User:Viking1808: Feel free to go with whatevery solution you find best yourself. I will just be delighted to see any improvement of the article or its references. It is one of many articles/stubs that I have been wanting to go back to for ages but never really gotten round to.

Hi Ramblerson More from me I'm afraid! Do you have access to the book that appears to be the source for the list of ships viz
Knud Klem: Skibsbyggeriet i Danmark og Hertugdømmerne i 1700-årene; Bind I, København 1985; ISBN 87-88646-14-9 to confirm the listed references in the Danish version of this article.
The pdf article by Klem that does have a link does not have any ships listed, but looks a good 30-page article to study.
I came across a list of ships on-line this morning, but realised (and an administrator has pointed out) that it was a circular reference so not useable.
I suggest this discussion will better sit on the talk page of the English wikiarticle
Danish Asia Company. Once on firmer ground, I have some material to give more details on these ships.
There is now no doubt in my mind that the book above (in bold) is the putative reference work. The text is not available online, but a limited search facility exists on Google Books for single key word and a minimal entry. Some of these ships are linked to the Asia Company, others mentioned but not clearly so linked. Access to the full book appears to be possible at four German libraries viz.
Is there a reason why the article is at "Danish Asia Company", when the name in English (as with the original in Danish) in the Lead is "Danish Asiatic company"?
