Passenger lists & Ship Categorization

The ship 'John of London' sailed from Hull, England to Salem, MA 
Summer 1638.

I was looking to create a category for the ship and I sought out other examples of how it was done - linking it to immigration and all that. Couldn't find anything so I wonder if someone in the Categorization Project could assist so it is done right the first time. Thanks!

Thanks Jack - exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find. Certainly the "Best Answer". I went to the Category Index page and didn't get anywhere - think it needs updating. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:WikiTree_Help
There's a Category Search hyperlink in the upper right corner of the category pages. I use it often, but it's so tiny that it would be easy to overlook. Maybe it can be made more prominent on all category pages. (It's highlighted on the Categorization Help page, but that's not where I go to look for categories.)
