The Wreckers: A Story of Killing Seas, False Lights and Plundered Ships – Ships PDF – Seamanship PDF – Sailing PDF

Bathurst, Bella

HarperCollins 2003

A history of the drama and danger of wrecking since the eighteenth century – and the often grisly ingenuity of British wreckers, scavengers of the sea. A fine wreck has always represented sport, pleasure, treasure, and in many cases, the difference between living well and just getting by. In settings ranging from the Goodwin Sands to the wreck-strewn waters off the coast of Durham, these murky tales of resourcefulness and quick-witted opportunism open a vista of life at the rough edges.

Dana, Richard H. Jr.

Modern Library 2001

Two Years Before the Mast is a memoir by the American author Richard Henry Dana Jr., published in 1840, having been written after a two-year sea voyage from Boston to California on a merchant ship starting in 1834. Originally written to expose “the life of a common sailor at sea as it really is,” Dana’s Two Years Before the Mast quickly became an American classic of maritime adventure. Crackling with realism, it remains one of the most eloquent and insightful depictions of life at sea in the early nineteenth century. Seamanship books.

Modern Seamanship; A Comprehensive Reference Guide for All Recreational Boaters – Ships PDF – Seamanship PDF – Sailing PDF

Dodds, Don

Gramercy 2000

Modern Seamanship is a comprehensive guide for boaters who wish to learn how to solve boating problems on their own by analyzing a situation and deftly using acquired knowledge. This book presumes you wish to know why, and not just how.
Don Dodds covers in detail the use of such laborsaving technological advances as GPS and radar, which have revolutionized recreational boating in the past decade. But because technology, like water wings, can get boaters literally and figuratively into deep water without knowing how to swim, Modern Seamanship also explores the traditional seamanship skills upon which these space-age devices are based-skills that always work, whether or not the batteries are dead. In its pages you will find information on navigation, weather, boat handling, docking, mooring, anchoring, common emergencies, communications, working with rope, and maintenance-all skills a mariner needs to deal confidently with the sea.

“The classic of its kind.” —Travel World. Challenged by an expert who said it couldn’t be done, Joshua Slocum, an indomitable New England sea captain, set out in April of 1895 to prove that a man could sail alone around the world. 46,000 miles and a little over 3 years later, the proof was complete: Captain Slocum had performed the epic “first” single-handedly in a trusty 34-foot sloop called the “Spray.” This is Slocum’s own account of his remarkable adventures during the historic voyage.
