Meet our eclectic band of maritime heroes, explorers and navigators, pirates and privateers, and ships.

Each beautifully-illustrated card gives brief biographical details, and the location of the monument featured. And to put it all in perspective, there’s a leaflet with useful information on finding out more, and a timeline from 1400s – 1800s.

“Very professional, attractive and informative to boot – a great idea.”

Andy, France/Spain
