Here is the list of Transports published by the Admiralty, 13 August 1903.

Note: the numbers allocated on this list refer to the chronological order in which the ships were first hired. Some numbers correspond with known Transport Numbers, but most do not.

I am reposting this here from another topic as it answers Kaya's specific question "Just wondering if there is a site that lists all the ship's allocated numbers from the Boer War".

HOWLAND, Alexander (1900) - "List of Transports from U.K. Ports to South Africa (Compiled from best available sources)"

This is a useful book, as it assigns Transport Numbers to the ships.
This is the only contemporary source I have found that does this.

As noted in previous posts, Freight Ships carrying troops were not allocated numbers.

As it was published in 1900, the list only goes up to 15 April 1900. It also only deals with outward bound ships.
