I've been a United States Merchant Marine Officer for 22 years and love all things related to the sea, especially maritime history. Your podcast episodes have been with me through many late-night bridge watches. What is better than being at sea while listening to the deep history of this fine profession? Please keep the episodes coming!
Stumbled on this podcast a year ago. Just listened to the last of the 246 episodes. Thanks for all and look forward to the new ones. To quote the podcast host, all episodes were ‘EXCELLENT STUFF’ . Kind regards Pieter Bakker/ volunteer Dutch Maritime Museum library.
Wonderful podcast
This is a fun and fascinating podcast! Not afraid to be scholarly, but willing to range far and wide for topics and approaches within maritime history. Willing to hear from experts who aren’t necessarily trained in the arts of podcast entertainment, Dr. Willis keeps the show afloat with integrity, insights, and always a lively approach to — often unexpected — maritime stories.
Figure heads episode makes you take notice or something you previously took for granted. The anchor episode likewise. Keep up the good work!
