Subject: BS: Slightly odd request: Nautical Info???
Okay let me explain myself before I go further...

I am working on a quirky little story (juvenile fiction sort of thing) and here's the thing. The story mostly takes place on a small passenger ship circa 1900's and I'm a stickler for having things be accurate...so the request. Any pertinent bit of nautical information peculiar to the time that I'll need to bear in mind while I'm writing? Any on-line info or references will also be most appreciated or if there's any types who like to gab on about nautical history by all means feel free to do so :) you have a willing listener who is fascinated by that sort of thing

thank you in advance {O)
