4.0 out of 5 stars
Just because you saw "Perfect Storm"...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Conway History of Seafaring in the Twentieth Century (Hardcover)
don't think you know all there is about seafaring. THis book covers so much, that you'll need to read it multiple times in order to understand all the detail it gives you about commercial and naval vessels and the men that go out to sea.
