New!

This year you can preorder your 2025 Know Your Ships Extra magazine, now in its third edition, when you order the regular book in March! We will keep your mailing information and send it right from the printer (preorder postage just $1 for U.S. orders only) when it is published in late summer.
(If you move, you are responsible for letting us know as soon as possible. We will not replace items that are mailed to the wrong address. Send address changes to knowyourships@gmail.com and put NEW MAILING ADDRESS in the subject line.)

 

Launched in 2022, Know Your Ships Extra offers even more ship, sailor and industry stories, recent shipping news and many more of the stunning photos – current and historic – for which Know Your Ships has become known for the past 66 years. Please note that the Extra, which is a feature magazine, does not duplicate the vessel and fleet listings found in the regular Know Your Ships book.

Only $9.95!

Here’s What’s On Deck So Far...

The line-up for the 2025 edition is still be finalized, but it will include stories meant to commemorate the Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew, lost 50 years ago. We'll also talk to Great Lakes super chef Sissy Payment and her passion for making the holidays special for the crew of the Mesabi Miner, and pay tribute to the Museum Ship William G. Mather, 100 years old in 2025.
