An anthology of the sea from the age of sail, gathering chapters and stories by Charles Kingsley, Frederick Marryat, Michael Scott, Herman Melville and many others. Spanish galleons, club-hauled frigates, pirates, whale chases and wrecks follow one another, prefaced by French’s foreword on why no one had yet made such a collection.
A good sampler for anyone who wants a taste of classic maritime fiction before choosing the novels. Download the free EPUB.
