..... privately run by retired seafarers, working to give something back to a profession we love and cherish.

We hope being able in that process to enlighten the world as to maritime history, its importance to societies, and not least to honour the sometimes fatal sacrifice of our colleagues who have sailed the the seven seas.
*
We aspire to do this to the very best of our ability, and with due respect for the memory of those of our international colleagues who stayed at sea permanently.
*
We accept with gratitude any donation you may deem appropriate to help us covering maintenance and running costs.

Your economic support contributes to promoting the maritime-cultural heritage of seafaring and shipbuilding nations, visualising the ships, their individual lives and fates for the benefit of the world-wide maritime-historical interest.
