Welcome to the Goa Maritime Museum. This site has come about as a memorial to the hundreds of Goan seamen who have served on ships under many flags, in peace and in war, and who continue to seek the opportunities of a life on the high seas. The site is a particular memorial to the hundreds of Goan sailors who died in the two World Wars and are barely remembered in Europe or Asia. For the families and friends that never knew the nature by which these men met their ends in watery graves, may this serve as a monument. Cliff Pereira ========================================= Cliff Pereira is a noted historian of Goan origin, currently based in the UK. We invite all those fascinated with the rich Goan maritime history to be part of this unique mailing list. We plan to set up the �Goa Maritime Museum� website in the near future. To join this mailing list, kindly visit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-maritime-museum/ Thank you, Melvyn Misquita ========================================= ABOUT THE 'GOA MARITIME MUSEUM' MAILING LIST The THE 'GOA MARITIME MUSEUM' is a list to discuss plans to build a initially-cyber maritime museum for Goa, and later to possibly look at a more ambitious brick-and-motar project. This venture has been undertaken at the initiative of Melvyn Misquita (Goa) and Cliff J Pereira (London). You're welcome to discuss anything on this list, related to centuries back or the 20th century or even yesterday. Provided it has some link with Goa and the maritime world. Photographs linked to the maritime history of Goa and Goans are particularly welcome. If anyone knows of any artefacts of any sort in Goa which need to be photographed, or documents/photos that need to be scanned, this group's founder-member Cecil Pinto has volunteered to arrange for the photographing or scanning to be done at a mutually convenient date. Other founder-members of this network are Dr Delio Mendonca, sj, Mario Alvares, and Frederick Noronha. Goa is a small region on the west coast of India, a former Portuguese colony with a long and surprising maritime history. ========================================= ______________________________________________ Melvyn S.
