Resources

National Maritime Museum — in Greenwich, England. Home of the British Admiralty's collection of ship plans, ship's logs, and other invaluable information. Unfortunately, most of this information isn't on their Web site, but they are always willing to make copies (for a reasonable fee).

David Rumsey Historical Map Collection — absolutely a must-see site for reenactors who want to view maps from their period. If you like this site, be sure to download the Java client — it makes it possible to download entire maps at extremely high resolutions.

U.S. Naval Academy Museum — contains, among other things, the Rogers Shipmodel Collection. Like the National Maritime Museum, their holdings are not displayed on the Web, but they do provide contact information.

Jeff Lee's Computer Typography — meticulous computer re-creations of period typefaces. The roman and italic pair, though created from mid-17th-century typefaces, are virtually identical to some used in the late 18th century, and contain obsolete characters and ligatures. The titles and link graphics on this site were created with these free fonts.

Other Reenactment Groups of Note

HMS Richmond — another group of Royal Navy reenactors with exacting standards.

The Routiers — Based in Australia, these 17th-century reenactors take their hobby very seriously, themselves somewhat less so.
