Tours
I am able to conduct small parties on request, on one to seven day tours of maritime sites.
Possible subjects include;
- Historic Ships of Britain including Mary Rose, Victory, Great Britain, Warrior, Cutty Sark, Belfast
- Individual ports, including Chatham, Portsmouth, Southampton, Plymouth, the Clyde etc
- Tours of European ships and sites, e.g. Vasa in Stockholm, Venice, Menorca as featured in the Patrick O’Brian novels
- Patrick O’Brian’s England.
Portsmouth Harbour in its heyday, 1911
The Chesapeake Mill, built from the timbers of a captured US warship
Short voyages on historic ships might be included when convenient. The tours are well illustrated with specially prepared documents.
