Essays aimed at maritime founders on articulating their own philosophy and avoiding generic, borrowed language. Each issue uses historical stories, such as Harrison's chronometer, Onassis's legacy and the clichés of corporate branding, to make a point about authenticity and legacy.
Long-form investigative commentary on maritime regulation, submarine cables and geopolitics, built on shipping records and AIS vessel-tracking data. Readers get data-backed, sardonic analysis of waivers, defence contractors and naval standoffs that mainstream trade press tends to miss.
Beautiful Public Data is a newsletter by Jon Keegan that highlights visually interesting datasets from government agencies, with context on what each dataset contains and why it is striking. Each issue combines the source material with the writer's own observations, such as the anatomy of the Visible Human Project, WWII vehicle recognition guides, or boat names in NOAA vessel data.
Future Tides is a newsletter covering the Pacific Northwest maritime community, including port redevelopment, ferry electrification, waterfront parks and emerging marine technology. Recent issues mix reported news with links to regional coverage and event announcements such as walking tours of Lake Union.
