Welcome to the Encyclopedia Nautica
This work is a group effort by Captain Morcar Dai and myself. Morcar was the inspiration, and I was most grateful be act as his assistant. The items are a compiling of works from members of the SGS-W, and from various sources found on the internet. We in no way claim credit for this work, only in that we have attempted to place, in this one thread, all of the information we had available to us. We are sure that it is far from complete, and that no doubt there are errors and omissions within. This document is for the use of all members of SGS-W, and they are encouraged, and free to submit to us any additional material, and/or corrections at any time.
We hope this work will be of assistance to all members.
Your most humble servants,
Captain Morcar Dai and Captain A. H. MacPhearson
