Rummage through our Christmas treasure chest below of over 20 new gifts and help Nancy Blackett keep sailing.
We have new gifts to suit everyone, and all proceeds go to support our work to keep Nancy Blackett as a historic working ship, as original as possible, and accessible for anyone to visit or sail.
It costs the Nancy Blackett Trust many thousands of pounds each year to keep Nancy Blackett afloat, and, particularly at this time of year, our Shop is a major contributor to our fundraising efforts.
So, please, buy one of our new Christmas gifts (or, even better, several!) from our Shop below, and not only will you be helping Nancy Blackett to last forever, but you’ll be treating yourself or a loved one to something unique at the same time:

Special Offer: buy any 3 Strong Winds books for £25 (saving 17%)
"The Salt-Stained Book" is Part One of her original ‘Strong Winds’ trilogy, set on and around the Orwell estuary in Suffolk.
In 1945, two brothers die in the icy Barents Sea and a book is all that survives of them. More than sixty years later Donny and his mother set out for Suffolk to meet his mysterious great aunt. There is an accident and Donny is taken into care. But are the Officials all that they seem and why won’t they believe Donny’s story? Soon he discovers that his life has been built on a lie. Only the new friendships he makes and an unsuspected talent for sailing help him steer his way through dangers that he cannot understand towards a knowledge of his own identity – and the secrets of a salt-stained book.
Parts Two and Three, "A Ravelled Flag" and "Ghosting Home", are also available, as is the complete series of seven books.
