What to expect? I remain curious about all aspects of maritime history. My experience is mostly on the Great Lakes but with time served aboard sailing vessels on the eastern seaboard of Canada and United States, the West Indies, and European waters.

There is a book, published papers and professional study tours visiting museums in Europe, United States and across Canada. And yes, I am a Curator Emeritus after working  at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, Kingston, Ontario for almost twenty-five years.

At this stage I am learning WordPress. As I get better I will expand the reach of this blog.
