The Sea Chest [Paperback]

From the Kirkus Review: Everything for the sailor, ashore or at sea -- in an anthology of sea-faring yarns, chanties, factual information. From books and magazines, here are stories known to the yachting fraternity, various exploits, -- passage to Bermuda, to Tahiti, solo Atlantic crossings, world round cruises, canoe voyages, racing tales, Dunkirk, Jabs and jibes against the brotherhood -- an omnium gatherum (though not complete) of topnotch stuff. Even the un-nautical minded find familiar names such as Loomis, Morley, Thurber, H.I. Phillips, Villiers, Nevil Shute, Bartimeus, among others. Rightful cachet.
