Galaxidi (Greek Γαλαξίδι, until 1940 Γαλαξείδιον) is a small town and, since 2011, a district of the municipality of Delfi in central Greece. The town is located in a bay of the Gulf of Corinth southwest of the Oracle of Delphi, south of Amfissa and southwest of Itea. Galaxidi achieved importance and prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries. During that time, Galaxidi was home to one of the most powerful merchant fleets in the Mediterranean.

A series of documents (registers, diaries, engravings, maps and nautical books) are also included that give a clear picture of the Galaxidi sailing shipping.
