Deep in the cavernous bowels of Nautical Mind Head Quarters lies a dusty, half-remembered vault. Once a year we throw open its creaking doors, shine high-lumen flashlights in to the dank, and haul out a trove of wondrous artifacts. Left-handed marlinspikes, deadlight bulbs, buckets of prop-wash, deeply discounted calendars, [...]
It’s that time of year again! The 2012 Toronto International Boat Show is upon us. This year promises to be one of the best ever, with our much expanded booth, some great boat show bargains, and a host of fascinating authors scheduled to speak and hang out at our booth.

Celestial Navigation by Frances W. Wright – $15.95
Sealed by Time: The Loss and Recovery of the Mary Rose by Peter [...]
Herb McCormick, author of the recently published Gone to the Sea writes:
Though I was raised in Newport, Rhode Island, I didn’t grow up sailing. All that changed when I landed my first real job, the receptionist (!) at Cruising World magazine. But it literally changed my life. I was [...]
Marine historian and author Skip Gillham writes:
I grew up in Toronto and often made a weekend trip to the waterfront with my father who kept a record of the ships we saw in port.
After graduating from Victoria College, University of Toronto, in 1963, I got the opportunity to spend part of [...]
Photographer Michael Khan writes:
In 1995, I was invited to a lake in the Adirondack Mountains, New York. In the evening, the fog would settle on the lake. By the time I would take my hand-made wooden rowboat out on the water, the fog would be gently lifting. One day, in the mist [...]
