The Maritime Heritage Project ~~ International Harbors Travel
This site started with my daughter's family tree homework project in 1998. The Project has taken us around the world in search of family. Our generational tree is now 5'x4' and goes back to the 1700s in Maine, and prior to that to Ireland, Wales and Germany. A family tree is a marvelous way to keep your family connected; just click on the image below to start yours.
Help support the Project
just by booking flights/cruises through One Travel
and city tours around the world through
International Harbors
