In a previous post, I described the shipping records for vessels registered at the port of Aberystwyth, transcribed by volunteers and released in digital form by the National Library of Wales.
I have used openpyxl to read the files (released as Excel spreadsheets) in Python. I have uploaded the code at bitbucket.org/davidtreth/aberystwythships (the data itself should be downloaded from the National Library of Wales site).
I have uploaded results at taklowkernewek.neocities.org/abership and have recently extended this to include plots made using matplotlib, which are presented below (and will be put up in some form at the neocities page soon).
