Recent Updates to MaritimeQuest |
MaritimeQuest 2025 Funds drive. |
Dec. 7, 2024 MaritimeQuest can only stay online through donations from users of the site. Last year was the first time I had to actively ask for donations, and once again I must ask for the users of the site to keep it online. Many other sites like Wikipedia and the Internet Archive, who do good work and are far larger and more complicated than MQ is, ask for donations to keep operating. MQ is no different, we need money to keep the site up and running. This year the goal is $1800. The site had to move to a dedicated server early last year, and as with everything, all support services used my MQ have increased in price. We have until Feb. 4, 2025 to raise the necessary funds. Last year we reached the goal a month early, and while we have all experienced the poor economy and inflation, I feel confident that there will be enough good folks who make small donations which will keep MQ online for everyone. There are two ways to donate, use the link below to Paypal or send a check to the below address. Thank you in advance and always know that your support is always appreciated. Michael W. Pocock |

New book in the New Releases section, Empire Javelin D-Day Assault Ship by Philip Kay-Bujak. |
| **Jan. 7, 2024** After undergoing a major surgery and having been out of work since late Nov., MaritimeQuest is in financial trouble. It costs about $1,000 a year to keep the site up and sadly I cannot afford to renew the site. I need your help to keep the site on line by making a donation, large or small. The site will go dark on Feb. 4th if the funds cannot be raised. It will still be available on the WayBackMachine, but not all features will work and it will be very slow. The links made to the site will also not work. The good news is that I have received pledges of $400 toward the site, so there is only a $600 deficit to make up. With the thousands of visitors who enjoy the site, that should not be difficult. You can send finds through Paypal to michael@maritimequst.com or use the MaritimeQuest donation page here. Donate to MaritimeQuest. Thank you in advance for helping to keep the site on line. Michael W. Pocock Webmaster |
