As an independent classification society, Germanischer Lloyd was created to evaluate the quality of ships and deliver the results to shipowners, merchants, and insurers. First classifications were based on construction rules developed by Friedrich Schüler, a shipbuilder from Stettin-Grabow, Prussia (later the German Empire).
The rules, both basic and advanced, take up about 20% of the 206-page book. [1] Other sections contain scenarios, longer campaigns, lists of ships, and illustrations of ship counters. The latter can be photocopied and cut out for use in the game, [1] or players can use 1/1800 plastic ship miniatures from popular wargames like Axis & Allies.

[1] In the various shipping registers ships are classed and given a rating after an official examination, and assigned a classification mark, which appears in addition to other particulars in those shipping registers after the name of the ship.
