"Being a collection by a sailor of impeccable nautical qualities of the many and varied facts and myths of the sea. Full of salty yarns about ancient heroes and savage pirates, rowdy songs, dastardly U-boats, signal flags, grog and everything else the bath-tub sailor requires for a career on the high seas. Weigh anchor, raise the sails and keep a keen eye peeled for sea monsters." Expert naval historian Konstam has put together a collection of entertaining naval facts, trivia, and histories. Pretty little hardbound book, out of print.  Osprey Publishing. 2010. Hb. NEW. $20.00
