Seafaring Lore and Legend Paperback – February 7, 2007

Covers an impressive breadth of maritime lore, fact and fiction. This book will inform a reader on different types of sailing ships and associated terminology, gives a well-researched primer on the mythology and literature of the sea, and explains why mariners thought the things they thought. The writing style is neither credulous nor dismissive, and gives no particular favor or credence to any view - a small thing but a welcome one for the topic, as it allows the reader to immerse themselves in the mood and mindset of the tales.If you find the sea and the age of sail fascinating, this book will likely delight you.

Great book - really interesting information - extensive collection of oddities, unusual facts and thoughts about the seas and inhabitants. Perhaps slightly short on details but the web is available for further research.I will purchase additional books in this series.

Was fun to read the lore and legend of sea critters real or imaginary.
