“But wait a moment – where is Eddie?” Suddenly, I realized his absence. I ran to the bow, and then to the other end, the stern, up and down the stairs, but I couldn’t find him anywhere. The sky had started to clear, and the day was breaking... where could Eddie be? “A-hoy!” I suddenly heard a shout from above me. I looked up and saw him. He was standing on the "Upper Deck" above the bridge, where all the navigation antennas were. With his right hand, he pointed to the horizon. “Third Officer Andy, put the entire crew on battle stations, a warship is approaching us at high speed, we are in danger!” I looked to the horizon and from afar I spotted a large vessel rapidly approaching us. Could it really be a warship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? I wondered.
The book Beyond the Horizon is a maritime encyclopedia for children, the first of its kind, focused on shipping and the sea. Andy and Eddie set sail on an exciting journey around the world.
As children follow their adventures, they learn about maritime concepts and familiarize themselves with the differences between various vessels, marine traffic, ports, and more. This nautical glossary reveals the secrets of the maritime world.
The book also includes many additional pieces of information; it is a visual journey into a new world, a world that makes up over two-thirds of our planet. Kids can also watch videos and explore other elements recommended on the pages of the book that capture the power of the maritime world and the oceans.
