This book follows the changing pattern of man's fortunes at sea, from the golden age of sail, through the proud years when steam reigned supreme, to the present day, when the flag of convenience rules the waves. It tells of triumphs and disasters, some recent, some long forgotten, and illustrates how, contrary to all expectations, the fine art of seamanship has withered and died with the advent of advanced technology.
Industry Reviews
"Readers will be captivated by the gripping stories about superb seamanship, outstanding courage and loyalty revealed in this well-written and interesting book" - Nautical Magazine, September 2004.
