The golden age of transatlantic sea shipping and journey started extended right after Columbus' attempting to prove that the earth was round. Following that time, sea sailing vessels traveled to the new planet on a rather infrequent routine. It was not till the very first marine steamship, the paddle steamer "Savannah" crossed the Atlantic Marine in 1819 that a new era in journey heated up. Because that time, underwater cruises and sea...more

So you want to buy a narrowboat? Good on you. With your narrowboat you will have access to over 2,200 miles of navigable canals and rivers, more tranquil beer gardens than you can ever hope to visit and a unique view of urban and rural Britain not seen by many.But buying a narrowboat is not something you should rush. Your boat will be a home away from home and probably the most expensive purchase you'll ever make after your home. It will cost you thousands of pounds each year to moor, run, maintain, license and insure. You will spend as much time cleaning it as you do your regular home. You need to think very carefully before you take the plunge. And the first consideration, before you've even looked for a narrowboat, is where you are going to keep it.MOORINGYou can moor your narrowboat just about anywhere on the thousands of miles of the canal network for a night or two, but you can't stay there for extended periods without permission and without paying a pretty penny to do so. British Waterways control the majority of moorings on the canal banks. A full list of their current vacancies available onlineThe alternative to canal side moorings are dedicated narrowboat...more

Just because you have a life jacket and a marine GPS system, it doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to take a boat out. While it's important that you know all of the safety requirements and procedures associated with boating, you also need to know something about etiquette. Whether you're in open water or at the marina, you need to be considerate and conscious of other boaters.The primary thing to think about when you're underway is your wake. You are responsible for any damages your wake may cause to other boaters, so don't be reckless. When you overtake a smaller vessel, slow down as much as possible so you don't rock the other craft. On the other hand, if you're being overtaken by a faster boat, you should slow down as well. A passing boat needs about a two knot lead, so if you're moving at eight knots, the other vessel has to go about ten. If, however, you slow down to four knots, the other boat can also slow down to about six, leaving a much milder wake. If you are passing sailing boats, try to pass astern in a crossing or overtake them well to leeward so you don't block the wind. Let courtesy govern your actions--whether...more
