Hi. Yes the paintings are by me. I am also on "Ships Nostalgia," there as "stein." You may want to look up that site; you have to become a member, but it's free and there is no spam: http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/gallery/ Should you care to join you may want to use the "search" function and type "stein" in "search by username" and "Maritime Art" in "search by category" for a number of other paintings.
There is not that much activity in the "Sailing Ships" gallery, and not that much in the "Tall Ships" category in the "Forum" section either, but every now and then there's something interesting going. (Just a suggestion, the site is mainly used by ex-sailors (spent some years at sea myself), and may not interest you at all.)

"Walmar Navigation School" I cannot find any reference to, there's "Kalmar University," as the nearest... "Walmar" might of course be the name of someone running a small school, someone long forgotten now? Regards, Jahn.

Hi. I posted some hastily uploaded marine paintings on Fotopic on a thread here a month or two ago, and while visiting this site today I got the idea you might be interested in seeing them: http://galleryjan.fotopic.net/c1635158.h... Regards, Jahn

Hi Paul,

No, I'm still on the forum. I did make myself invisible, though.

Hello,
Now I've got another book which we are the only ones with: The Wreck of the Maid of Athens. It looks very good - and short - so there's a good chance I'll get to it soon.

Hello,
We're the only two with Ships Under Sail by Gordon Grant -- I just added a cover picture for it. What a great illustrator he was.

Hi. I got some 2- 3oo more nautical books to catalogue too, a few large formats and a large number of sailor's reminiscences (which I'll tag as "Sea life" - it's short). After that I might add a stack of literature acquired in my effort to learn French; I see we got a shared interest there too. Regards, Jahn.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your kind words. I have added your site to the "Glossaries" page in my Links section.

I'm trying to build my own glossary. It's not strictly nautical, though, which I hope will make it more unique.

Cheers,

Susan

Hey -- Greensboro here.

I noticed we are the only two who have M. Southwick's The Night... Have you read her most recent book?
