One hundred and forty-five records now test the archive across national, civic, maritime, and historical material. “Documented” means the record’s identity and use are source-backed; “verified” additionally indicates strong construction data.

Understanding specifications and evidence

Read each record’s proportions, construction details and colors alongside its supporting evidence. Distinguish official specifications from customary manufacturing conventions and screen approximations: a displayed value or illustration should not be treated as an official manufacturing standard unless the record’s evidence supports that interpretation. Keep any qualifications attached to dates and ratios when quoting or reusing them.

The index’s “documented” label means that a record’s identity and use are source-backed; “verified” additionally indicates strong construction data. These labels concern evidence quality. They do not establish whether a flag is currently in use; consult the record’s status, period and accompanying qualifications for that context.

Consult each record’s supporting evidence and artwork provenance to understand the sources, attribution, rights statements and limitations of the displayed artwork.
