By Chris Hillier. Many books have been written about safety at sea, collision avoidance, and safe boating, but how many of them can tell you how to avoid sea-monsters? In this little reference book, Chris Hillier takes a lighthearted look at over a hundred myths and superstitions surrounding life afloat, providing fascinating details on the origin and history of each. Entries include sightings of the FLYING DUTCHMAN, the ôalbatrossö responsible for the TITANIC disaster, and many more.
