CRUISE THROUGH HISTORY, LLC
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FLORIDA

Cruise through History is a collection of short stories grouped by the sequence of many popular cruise itineraries, rather than by country, or period of history. The stories are all true. As the stories move from port to port, they randomly move through time. They are offered not for knowledge alone, but to augment the joy of travel. Apology is due to those who hoped to foster disciplined scholarship in the author. This is reading for an out-of-the classroom experience. Endnotes are inserted in the text to give due credit to the scholars who have provided valuable information and to remind the reader that these stories are true. The presence of source notes is not to feign an academic appearance. Editorial sidebars and fun bits are in the endnotes. The stories that traverse the landscape in a Cruise Through History introduce local personalities, sometimes reacquainting the traveler with an historic figure in unexpected circumstances. They prompt a look at not just what exists and the technology of how, but also why events occurred, or why the remnants of human effort look as they do. Where did the missing pieces on the landscape go, as conquests by subsequent cultures altered, evolved, and incorporated the past into their times? What were the intended and unintended consequences that have become the fabric of complex history? These stories take travelers beyond the castle ruins to the people who built them and lived there. The itineraries in this series have stories at each port that seek to inspire cruise travelers to rise out of their deck chairs and investigate a destination with honesty and irreverence, or the potential traveler to rise from the sofa and embark on a Cruise through History.
