About This Item

From the d.j.: "Ships and Memories is a fascinating account of the life at sea during the age of steam. Seafarers tell their own stories and remember the good times as well as the bad, in peace and war and during the depression. The author draws on interviews with master mariners, cooks, stewards and others who worked aboard steamships from 1920 to 1950." "In language charged with passion, nostalgia, and, at times, bitterness, they recall the dangers of seafaring, the lonelinness aboard ship, and the difficulty of supporting families ashore, but they also remember, with earthy humour, the rowdy adventures in port."

About Stillman Books

After closing my most recent bookstore in White Rock, B.C., I have decided to sell strictly online for the foreseeable future. My inventory is heavy on
children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
