Description

Are you clewed-up about all those expressions that so enrich the language of sailors – not to mention the landlubbers who have Shanghaied their vocabulary?

Do you know Captain Setab’s Second Law of Dynamics, or why timbers shiver, even in horse latitudes, where a brass monkey has nothing to fear?

This little book, chock-a-block with the wit and wisdom of a Captain who came up through the hawse pipe to command one of the most famous vessels afloat, gives you the whole nine yards.
