Britain is an island nation, and is celebrating its maritime heritage this year through hundreds of ‘SeaBritain 2005’ events.
A new book complements this perfectly as it details 600 maritime museums and ships around the country.
“Maritime Britain”, by broadcaster and writer Paul Heiney (Adlard Coles Nautical, price £12.99 from British bookshops) features everything from lighthouses and Cornish shipwrecks to Admiral Lord Nelson’s birthplace, tea clippers, the Greenwich Meridian and maritime sights. Each regional section includes a gazetteer of contact details and opening times, which makes it a useful travelling companion on land as well as water.
