COURAGE AT SEA, TALES OF HEROIC VOYAGES

Naomi James, St. Michael soft cover Edition 1988, 200pp.

Few people are prepared to take on the challenge of the sea, to confront the sheer power of wind and water. Those seafarers that have had the courage to do so have the most fascinating and moving stories to tell.

In this magnificent book Dame Naomi James recreates some of the most thrilling of all real-life adventures at sea, from Magellan’s first circumnavigation of the world in the sixteenth century to the nightmare of the 1979 Fastnet Race when a freak force 10 storm claimed fifteen lives, or the achievement of lone Atlantic rower Tom McClean.

Written with great clarity and understanding, Courage At Sea is an extraordinary record of human endurance and resourcefulness and will be welcomed by anyone who has ever set sail or been captivated by the romance or appeal of the sea.

The book is in very good condition.
