Maritime links Directory
The Maritime Links Directory lists and
provides links to (non-commercial)
organisations and other sites which
contain information of interest
to naval architects, eg news
reports, directories of companies,
newsletters, etc. The value of this
specialised directory will depend
upon it being built up into a
comprehensive database and
then being kept up to date.
Proposed entries for the Maritime
Links Directory can be made online
