Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia

This category refers to single pages on Shetlopedia with none or little reference to the general Shetland theme but which might help to undertstand the one or other term, subject, phrase etc. used on the Shetlopedia.

For example:
Information about various types of ships (like galliots) which appear only as wrecks in Shetland waters but with no other relation to Shetland and in contrast to the different boats of the Dutch fishing fleets which were regular visitors for centuries.
