​Let Nautical Home Decor Inspire Adventures

With the New Year upon us many people are looking to either begin new hobbies or to learn more about their existing interests. Those with nautical interests are no different as they offer many opportunities to learn and experience new things.

For instance, if your collection of nautical decor includes ships then why not take up boating? There are many options from motor boats to sail boats to canoes or even kayaks.Boatingbegineer.com offers great advice on buying, handling and enjoying your first boat. Many locations near lakes or the sea offer lessons and excursions for all skill levels so you can experience boating to the fullest.

You can also take the time to learn about historical ships and their impact on nautical history, such as famous pirate ships, or war vessels. The history of the Mayflower and its voyage from England to the New World is a fascinating place to start as it paved the way for United States nautical history.

If you collect lighthouses, you can also take a similar study of famous ones throughout history. The Lighthouse Directory is a good online resource for lighthouses around the world and throughout the United States.

Of course, some nautical pursuits take place on the sand. Many people who enjoy collecting seashells or simply walking the beach also enjoy beachcombing. Beach combing is a popular hobby where you can search for not only sea shells and lost change but in certain areas, historical relics as well. Wikipedia defines it as “an activity that consists of an individual "combing" (or searching) the beach and the intertidal zone, looking for things of value, interest or utility.”

The hobby is a wonderful one as you can tailor it to yourself. You can use metal detectors for coins and jewelry or you can search for sea rocks and shells. There are helpful websites dedicated to the area you will be searching in or even the specific items you are searching for, such as sea glass, or even gold coins. Finding the sites are as easy as typing“beachcombing in Maine” or “beachcombing for sea shells” into the search engine.
