History of Ships Named Enterprise

http://starchive.cs.umanitoba.ca/?SNE.html

This contains data on Most Ships with that name, although a few others were recorded by Ronald J. Roden and the Federation Science Newsletter.

Ronald J. Roden described the Ship "Enterprise of England", from 1587, implying that 2-3 letter Ship Name Prefixes like USS and HMS don't first appear until the beginning of the 17th Century.

He also described a Blimp, Racing Yacht, and an Ironclad Hull CSS Enterprise, built by the Confederacy in 1864, which saw little action before being scrapped.

And in the Federation Science Exhibit Book I got in 1996, with a flipbook and numerous science and history factoids, there was described the "Blood Tub" Enterprise from 1881, in which crew were bound, gagged, hung by their thumbs and straitjacketed, such an occurrence I have not found data on elsewhere.

Ronald J. Roden's book also display's the supposed sphere-section Horizon-Class planned NCC-1008 USS Enterprise, which was cancelled, less-detailed and mosre detailed versions of the TMP Enterprise, and the Alsk-aClass Enterprise-C from Temporal Graphics.
