Maritime Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas we've collected. They're all things we know we'd like to be given.

Please note that we do not sell any of these items ourselves. In some cases we do make "affiliate" commissions if we refer a paying customer. However, these commissions do not add to the cost to you and we promise not to let the possibility of a commission take precedence over the honest opinions we give you in our descriptions.

Framed Print of "Boats Leaving the Harbor," by Claude Monet

AllPosters.com offers fine art prints like this one (and hundreds of other maritime posters and prints) mounted on wood for about $85 plus $14 shipping.

The mounted option is neat -- it comes permanently bonded to a wood backing (with a beveled black edge) that's braced on the back so that it appears to "float" on the wall.

"Horatio Hornblower" on DVD

The four-part TV movie series based on C.S. Forester's novel "Mr. Midshipman Hornblower." Heroic, engaging, enjoyable entertainment!
