HAPPY BIRTHDAY

22 August 2015: Well, friends, we made it a year! Maritime Maunder posted its first message just one year ago and, thanks to the good people out there who found us a bit interesting from time to time, we have reached just shy of 7,000 readers in something like 25 countries! I personally am astounded; I never thought there were that many history/maritime oriented people out there who would be interested in what I had to say! So, thank you all; I shall try to keep putting up items of interest in the maritime world and/or historical discoveries that might be entertaining. In honor of our 1st birthday, I am reposting a few my favorite images from posts over the last year.

So, thank you all again and, as we begin the second year of our voyage together, I wish us all
