[b:3975b8976e][color=brown:3975b8976e]Ahoy Sailing Talks!



It came to mind that boating enthusiasts might be interested in our gallery? Although I'm an old retired Professor in my early days, I decided to travel the world using whatever method I could! So I worked on passenger cruise ships, some old rust buckets and a few motor sailing yachts. One my greatest experiences was sailing around the Galapagos Islands when I was a young man. Fortunately I spent a lot of time in the Caribbean, once known as the "Caribbee" according to my ancestors from England.

Just thought I would inform members of this forum of my Hobby and once profession, which was the great enjoyment of old maps. A number of my friends in Cape Cod and New England have framed some of my map collections, so it made sense to contact Boating and sailing forums to offer beautiful archival replicas of 17th century American coastal sheets, plus admiralty navigational charts.



If something catches your eye or that you unable to find a certain item ask our friendly staff. If we do not have it I will personally locate it for you--with no charge!



I’m also an old Treasure Hunter, prospector from way back. Brought my first metal detector in England in the 1970’s. Found coins on the Thames foreshore, but worked on cruise ships and detected just about all over the world.
