In addition to our regular reviews and features, we will have articles on:

• The literary evidence for Norse shipbuilding and seafaring.
• The importance of maritime travel in Northumbria.
• The use and perception of whales in the North Atlantic world.
• Sea-related images in Pictish art.
• Bede's sea-calming miracles.

This issue is anticipated to be published during the Fall of 2004.
