Good afternoon, one and all.  I hope that all are doing well.

 

Attached is an updated version of my nautical resources

 

This first file is primarily PDF format files that can be found on the internet (link included whenever possible).  Note that not all are free (some may require a subscription to a site or publication).

This second file is primarily printed books (though a few PDF documents did sneak in).

 

Waynes Nautical Books 22 April 2015.pdf

 

As this is a work in progress, there are some obvious typographical errors and formatting issues in some of the listings that I will work on as time allows. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Wayne;

That is one extensive list of valuable information. Thank you.

I am working on something like it on just Dutch Naval History (when there is time) and the resources are in Dutch, German and English.

I created this in MS Access.

Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Great listings invauable, to Marc anxious to see Dutch listings as next project would be a dutch merchant ship either from kit being developed or scratch from Hovings book. Don

There were/are so many merchant ships/boats in and around The Netherlands. Every town on the water had one. One similar to the other.

I do have a list and descriptions but it is all in Dutch.

As you can see from my signature all ships will be from Hoving/Emke.

btw, Hans, a member here' has started a kit company with Dutch ships. Batavia is one and the Dordrecht that looks very similar like the Batavia. They were both in the same convoy. Once his kits become available I will purchase one or more.

Bit off topic.

Your website looks very impressive. I like the box that the Batavia kit is delivered in with the maps. Also glad that you are doing the Duyfken.
