The emphasis of the resource is largely on narrative content, giving accounts of life onboard a variety of ocean-going vessels, including merchant and naval vessels, whalers, and pirate ships. Content is gathered from journals written by sailors at sea and memoirs written by sailors reflecting on their lives. Another major source of narrative content are court records, especially from depositions and witness statements, including the examinations of pirates and court martials within the Royal Navy. Geographic coverage includes both England and the United States gathered from the Massachusetts Historical Society, Mystic Seaport Museum, The UK National Archives, and the UK National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.
