This site drove me crazy. It has a very long list of words associated with ships and sailing, with only tantalizing clues as to meaning. I plan to spend a lot of time browsing there, but there is nothing clickable nor any clue as to where the "Dictionary" that is apparently being written can be accessed.

Gut I promise you, you will find it lovely browsing, if also frustrating.

Dr. Bill, if you scroll all the way to the bottom, you can click on Introduction. On that page, you can click to Home Page. It looks as if this as a proposed dictionary. The guy certainly seems to know his stuff; apparently he's studied indigenous languages, and has done some work for the OED. Maybe tsuwm knows of him; he's based at the university in Duluth.
Here's part of his introduction:
The dictionary will constitute a single, relatively exhaustive reference for researchers in the maritime history and archæology of the Mediterranean and of those areas throughout the world that came under the influence of the colonial Mediterranean powers. Researchers interested in various aspects of language contact, particularly the mechanisms of borrowing and the development of pidgins (many of which trace their origins in part to Mediterranean colonizers), will find in this work a large amount of raw material. Language historians and etymologists in the Mediterranean languages will find new citations--in some cases the earliest so far recorded--and new insights into word-origins afforded by interrelated data from several languages.

The table Galley Terms (22K) is intended to convey at a glance the uniformity among borrowed terms across the Mediterranean. The impression is especially strong in this case because the terminology refers to a specific technology--galleys--considered over a restricted period--primarily from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century.
