Inhaltsangabe:
A collection of gripping stories--both ancient and modern--of thrilling adventures at sea
Tales of adventures on the high seas captivate both sailors and those who stand on the shore and gaze out across the oceans. In this original collection of sea stories, edited by veteran writer Dick Durham, the gamut of human experience is mirrored in a world of tragic shipwrecks and sea monsters, epic races and brave rescues, tall ships and tiny dinghies.
Written in the author's inimitable powerful and poetic style, Amazing Sailing Stories brings the incredible, frightening, and whimsical--from worlds ancient and modern--to life.
* A collection of stories ideal for the armchair enthusiast and active sailor alike
* Durham is the author of three sailing titles and contributes regularly to the yachting press
The perfect gift for lovers of sea yarns or the sea, Amazing Sailing Stories is certain to entertain readers for years to come.
