The mission of the WSP is to connect ship records, references, renderings, photographs, and surviving associated artifacts in one digital repository. As the project grows, I hope that it will be useful to scholars and enthusiasts of all media related to maritime history. **Where is the WSP?** Exciting developments are underway! While the WSP migrates to another platform that suits the repository's growing needs, information and project records will be temporarily unavailable. **What does the future hold for the WSP?** The WSP has the capacity to become a scholarly tool that connects institutional and archival repositories of maritime material worldwide. This could enable and aid research endeavors, encourage an open-access approach to digitized materials relating to maritime history, and perhaps even incorporate advanced data sourcing and organization programs with the help of Artificial Intelligence. As our work is inherently educational in nature, scholars of the humanities should be on the forefront of utilizing these types of tools. **Be In Touch** If you have questions, concerns, or interest in chatting about the project, please reach out to: [email protected].
