Книга на английском языке
Since our founding in 1963, the National Maritime Historical Society has striven to tell the stories, great and small, that make up the wondrous panorama of our maritime history. Over the last six decades, hundreds of thousands of readers have discovered in the pages of Sea History magazine a treasure-trove of stories that captivate, inspire and enlighten us all about the vital role of the sea - and those who have sailed upon it.
The lessons that our seafaring heritage can teach - courage, ingenuity, self-reliance, and resourcefulness-are timeless. It is more important than ever to bring these lessons to young people - tomorrow’s maritime leaders and informed citizens of the republic.
Now you can create a legacy for the next generation to ensure this important part of history is not lost. We know that maritime history is world history, yet the emphasis on teaching history in today’s education system is dwindling - depr iving our youth of the precious commodity of hindsight.
