A maritime information page from Belgium
This page is a humble addition to the already manifold and often excellent maritime related pages on the Internet.
I would like to spill some information on specifically but not exclusively European nautical matters of a historical and contemporary elan. I am especially pointing my arrows at World Ship Society members and the many other quiet researchers in Europe who seriously contribute to the recording of maritime history as a hobby.
But most of all I would like to receive reactions, contributions and suggestions for this page adding to its contents and enhancing its value.
Anybody interested or do you want to see your own maritime link added ? Submit your comments by email. You are welcome.
