This dictionary and wordlist translates ancient nautical and maritime terms to and from English to various languages, dead and living. It is a reference work for researchers, etymologists and those who have an interest in traditional, historic and ancient sailing craft. The bias is on the Northern European languages so far, but those included are:- Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Anglo Saxon, Middle English, Dutch, Old Dutch, Middle Dutch, French, Old French, German, Old High German, Icelandic, Latin, Portugese, Italian, Old Norse, Spanish. At present some of these languages are extensively covered, others scant, but it is hoped that the work will be improved continually.
