The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
A collection of dramatic stories of the sea by distinguished writers, including Thor Heyerdahl, Charles Nordhoff, and Commander Edward L. Beach. Twelve stories in all, they range from exploits of the Coast Guard on the Carolina coast to the far reaches of the Pacific, where the raft Kon-Tiki rode to glory in the pounding surf. Diving for treasure, mutiny, rounding Cape Horn, and the daring sallies of the submarine Wahoo are but a few of the thrills in this fine book of the sea.
