MarinersWiki is a free web-based project created in 2008 with the goal of inspiring a collaborative community in the creation of a dynamic knowledge base for all with a common passion for sailing and related topics.

We invite mariners of all ages, cultures, and social backgrounds, to submit information and write articles on topics relevant for this site. You do not need specialized qualifications to contribute to the knowledge base of MarinersWiki. Usually information can be edited by anyone with access to the Internet. You are welcome to add information, and create cross-references or citations, as long as you do so responsibly. Don't worry about accidentally damaging MarinersWiki when adding or improving information, as it is possible for others to revise obvious errors.

A Wiki Website such as MarinersWiki differs from books and traditional published resources in exciting ways. It provides a dynamic exchange of information to which anyone can contribute and add value. Unlike paper reference materials, MarinersWiki may be continually updated, within seconds, rather than months or years. With your participation we hope this site will grow and serve as a gathering place for relevant information and topics of interest to the maritime enthusiast.
