The Broadsides list is dedicated to the exploration of naval history from all periods of time. From the early days of the Greek galley, to the beginnings of the age of steam and into the 21st century. This group will especially concentrate on the Age of Fighting Sail.

Discussion on nautical fiction and nonfiction is the order of the day. This group is for both the "History Buff" and the "Nautical Fiction Enthusiast" who enjoys the works of Lambdin, Kent, Forester, Pope, O'brian, and others. Open discussion on naval fiction, military history, and general group interest is encouraged

Along the way have a little fun and try your hand at role playing a ships officer, sailor, or marine. Our FAQ's in the Files section on the group site can tell you how.

Please Note: This group will have a high volume of mail and members are expected to be active. If you subscribe to this group only you can unsubscribe. Please do not post to the group asking to be unsubscribed. Because we can't help you!!
