'''British Railways''' operated a number of '''ships''' from its formation in 1948 on a variety of routes. Many ships were acquired on nationalisation, and others were built for operation by [[British Railways]] or its later subsidiary, [[Sealink]]. Those ships capable of carrying rail vehicles were classed under [[TOPS]] as [[British Rail Class 99 (ships)|Class 99]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Harris |first1=Roger |title=The allocation history of B.R. diesels and electrics.
