What I find I just had. Lloyds of London has published a yearly volume with all (most?) of the ships for the British Empire. The entries include ship owner, ship master, and voyage(s) the ship went on. There isn't really a listed author or editor, unless you take the committee chair as the author. The book is a combination of all of the port agents keeping track of the ships in their port. With that said here's my stab at the citation:
Lloyd’s Register of British and Foreign Shipping.: From 1st July 1842 to the 30th June 1843 (London: J. L. Cox and Sons, 1842), p. 380 (inked), no. 645, Mary Stuart; imaged at Internet Archive, “Lloyd’s Register of Shipping 1836” (https://archive.org/details/HECROS1842/page/n391/mode/2up ), image 392 of 804.
A fantastic find, indeed…
A fantastic find, indeed. Going back a few decades—both from the present and from the year of the publication you found—Alex Haley used Lloyds of London registers to identify ships that sailed from Africa's west coast to Baltimore during the key years of his interest. I'm surprised we've not heard more about these from researchers.
And, yes, you've done a great job with the citation.
