This site contains the Internet's largest most comprehensive nautical glossary.  In fact, it's so large, it had to be broken into 26 pages (one for each  letter), just to make it fit.  The glossary currently contains 1,036 definitions.  If you are looking for word origins, and the history of some common everyday expressions, try the trivia page.  To request a  word that is not included, or for corrections or contributions, submit them via email.
