NoTE.—NoO statistics were available for 1848, 1855, 1856, and 1883. 
*Includes Bremen, Hamburg, Hanover, Oldenburg, and Prussia. 
+ As thesame vessel sometimes visited two or three ports, and would be counted at each, this total 
necessarily does not represent the real number of vessels. Itis estimated that a reduction of about 
one-third in the number would show the real total. 
$29 vessels were caught in the ice in the Arctic Ocean and abandoned.
