NY: Harper & Brothers, 1940 Review - "Hulbert Footner's dramatic life of Joshua Barney not only is considered the finest biography of one of America's first and most interesting naval heroes, but also is one of the best portrayals of political and social life in the fledgling republic, from the Revolutionary War through the War of 1812. At sea from the age of ten, master of a transatlantic commercial vessel at fifteen, and as well known as John Paul Jones for his exploits with the Continental Navy in its first two wars, Barney cut an imposing and often controversial figure. Whether it is in the heat of battle or outlining Barney's many political and psychological intrigues, Footner's rich narrative never fails to both entertain and edify." Frontispiece: Joshua Barney.

London & Rio Grande: Hambledon Press, 1999 Apparent FIRST EDITION. Winning the Battle of the Atlantic was critical to Britain's survival in the Second World War. The British Merchant Navy suffered enormous losses of both ships and men, particularly in the early years of the war. Sailing through U-boat wolf-packs across the Atlantic, or on the perilous routes to Malta and Murmansk, took a special kind of courage. Ships often sank within minutes of being torpedoed. Survivors is the history of this epic struggle. It is a graphic account of how the ships were attacked and sunk, how crews reacted, how they attempted to launch their lifeboats and how they ended up swimming or clinging to debris, or making long voyages in lifeboats or on rafts. Death might come at any stage, yet the will to live and the resourcefulness and skill of the seamen enabled a surprising number to survive. ""There was a terrific smash and everything was pandemonium on deck. The wheel house collapsed on top of me and I was trapped by the concrete slabs which had fallen on me and pinned me to the deck. I think that the ship sank in about thirty seconds after breaking in two ... Although I was trapped, I could see everything over my head. The stern burst into flames and I saw flames forward. I could see the water coming up and coming over my head. The ship hit the bottom and turned over, the debris was thrown off me and I was released and I came to the surface."--Sinking of SS Abukir, 28 May 1940. 287pp. Ships in a box, no bubble mailers!.

Alexandria, VA: Time-Life Books, 1979 Author David Howarth served as a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy during World War II and later designed and built boats before turning to writing full time, including "The Men-of-War," an earlier volume in the Seafarers series. This book is illustrated with historic photographs, some of them actually taken during and after the battles being described in the text. By focusing on the ships rather than the war, Howarth puts the Battle of Jutland in a much better perspective. World War I might have been the Great War when it was fault, but it has become secondary to World War II and the Vietnam War in American history, and even when it is considered it is the battle in the trenches that is covered mostly by textbooks (and movies). "The Dreadnoughts" looks at the naval side of the war, but does so in the context of the larger history of military navies. No marks except library, illustrated in color and B&W.

Camden, MA: International Marine Publishing, 1992 "...The best of the best selected by Taylor from his earlier books, every one an enduring classic within the reach of a small-scale builder. From the large volume of mail he has received over the years, Taylor selected the designs that have generated the most interest, and for each he has written an introduction reporting what new owners, and in many cases new builders, have to say. So let the fiberglass look-alikes continue their reign on the showroom floors; these pages are ruled by a fleet of individualistic gems, from a 16-foot daysailer to a 61-foot schooner. Most are sailboats, all are interesting. They come from the drawing boards of, among others, N. G. and L. F. Herreshoff, Sam Crocker, Olin Stephens--names to quicken the salty pulse. This book is dedicated to the wayward sailor in us all." No marks, light shelf wear. 243pp. Ships in sturdy cardboard for ultimate protection, no bubble mailers! . FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING.
