I've added some pieces to my collection that the average onlooker might not understand, such as the blue white china Imari dish (18th c.). Believe it or not, many pieces of Chinese/Japanese porcelain was found on European shipwrecks and pirate vessels...

Pewter items dating to the Age of Sail, along with Revolutionary War era items, such as the powder keg, tell a story about the items.

Excelent scenario, Captain. Time to buy a new camera and add the present one to your nice age of sail collection

A great way to display maritime items is against a backdrop of an old map/ seachart either under glass on a desktop or on the wall behind.

Very nicely done Mark. It is something that always seemed logical to me. Now, shake out a reef and get that camera!
