From the launching of his ship to the last anchorage in a snug harbor; the sailor's life is filled with incident, from the high drama of storms at sea to the blissful refreshment of warm days in tropical ports with the scent of blossoms filling the air. This whole range of experience, is captured in this collection of etchings, engravings, watercolors, and paintings artfully matched with poetry and prose by some of the most vivid writes on the sea.
