Entries for this title are taken not from Starbuck's work, but from Reginald Hegarty's Addendum to "Starbuck" and "Whaling Masters" (New Bedford: New Bedford Free Public Library, 1964), in which Hegarty compiled an index to Starbuck, and also included an addendum with further information on some vessels. Hegarty's addendum is also included in the Index to Ships in Books.
