The Boat Cove Chronicle brings you the news from England and across the globe. You'll find maritime tales of grand discoveries, harrowing voyages, and the day-to-day happenings of our world across the seas. All written in the beautiful, evocative Old English prose of the 18th century, and brought to life with original illustrations in the style of the era. Stories are dated as if the news just arrived from across the oceans. Each edition, faithfully printed as a genuine newspaper, is written as if the year were 1750.
