Wooden Boats, Boatbuilding and Design

As you might have noticed browsing Sailingahead.com, I am very interested in topics related to history. Be it the maritime legacy of small coastal communities or my local town, be it grand projects of underwater archaeology - I love it! There are sections in this directory where you can find out about Museums of Maritime History in the US and Canada, Great Britain and Ireland as well as other countries.

This section of the directory is dedicated to traditional ways of sailing boats or old boats themselves. There are tons of relevant websites out there and no way to give a complete picture - I just feature some that I enjoyed. If you know of any sailing links that you would want to have included, please feel free to drop me a line!
