Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A Stately Southerner' is an evocative collection of maritime sketches and sea stories that captures the twilight of the great Age of Sail. Written by Rex Clements, a veteran of square-rigged ships, this work offers a firsthand account of the beauty, danger, and discipline inherent in life at sea.
