We are a global community and very committed to Age of Sail. So, I was thinking there must be at least a couple of folks out there who share my interest in Age of Sail and Naval History??
Anyway, please do not hesitate posting a link if you know of any good websites from your country. Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, American and Asian - bring´em on!
Of course, historical mercantile sites is of interest as well.
