Customer Reviews

It's Great, and should be republished.

This book is full of true sailing stories ( is that an oxymon?) If I'd been born at the turn of the 1900 century and read this book I'd have thrown away my life to go to sea. It has an actual account of a whaler who was swallowed by a whale, then rescued from its stomach when the crew cut it up. Its has a story about sailors stuck inside a sinking boat, which, when the cargo disolved refloated and were rescued. For all you armchair sailors and lovers of Patric O'Briens stuff, You'll love it.
