The World Wide Web is an amazing tool that has changed the way humans obtain information and it has been an invaluable resource for
Docema during the making of Broadside.  For those who are interested in learning more about the 17th Century and the Age of Sail, we are
happy to provide a short list of some of the many useful websites that we discovered while performing historical research for the film, as
well as homepages for some of the many organizations that played pivotal roles in the creation of Broadside.
