About This Item
Odhams Books Limited, London - reprint edition 1965 hardcover, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2', with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Light-blue cloth-bound boards with red title to spine, blue endpapers, illustrated title-page spread. Here are tales of great ships, great voyages, and great men: ships like 'Lightning', which made the Australia-Liverpool run in 64 days; men like her captain Bully Forbes, who drove his ship with a pistol in each hand to keep his frightened crew from shortening sail. They're all here - hurricanes, wrecks, mutinies - capturing the salt-encrusted romance of days of sail.
