Timeship was originally conceived in 1996 when the World Wide Web was just six years old. The idea was to use the site to promote my writing projects, but also to provide easy access to a variety of history-related material to anyone who was interested. When I co-founded the Gold Rush History Alliance in 1997, Timeship became the primary outlet for promoting the GRHA and all-things Gold Rush. By the turn of the 21st Century, Timeship's splash page sported an animated three-masted sailing ship that cruised onto the page and settled under the masthead. It wasn't Flash (then in its infancy), and I wasn't the only one using animated web elements, but the concept was impressive enough to win me a Dottie Award in Sacramento in 2001. As GRHA faded into history, and my writing career blossomed, the Timeship web site was put on the back burner – although I diligently retained the domain and always kept the link active. While the new Timeship is technically part of ohenrymace.com, you can still reach it by typing in timeship.com, then clicking the Timeship Portal icon. Conceptually, the new Timeship is what I intended it to be over a decade ago – a place for me to share history-related information based entirely on historical research into primary source material. The site is always under construction, so I apologize for any broken links or missing pages. Visitor feedback is always welcome.
