Welcome to the

Jaap van der Wijk, the author of the
Lexicon of Aquatics, Fishery, Merchant Marine, Navy and Traditional Fleet(ISBN
90-5018-370-0), has decided to put a nautical encyclopedia on the World
Wide Web!
Now this is only a demo of course, but soon you will find over 20.000 nautical entries here, with lots of images, about the wide world of the sea, and anything that is related to this subject, like meteorology, oceanography, coast guard, navy, fishery, tall ships, races, books, safety measures, engines, etc.
Only one thing: "Sponsor Wanted Nautical Encyclopedia" is not much of a name. Setting up and maintaining a site like this costs a lot of time, energy and money. Yet the author wants it to be free for all internet users. So who will be our main sponsor and what will this site be called? The `Hallberg Rassy Nautical Encyclopedia"? The "Jeanneau Nautical Encyclopedia?" The "Dehler Nautical Encyclopedia"? The "Bavaria Nautical Encyclopedia"? The "Najad Nautical Encyclopedia"? The "Dufour Nautical Encyclopedia"? Who knows...
Maybe it's better you choose, and contact some sponsors yourself.
